Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bacillus are among the most widespread species in nature, they are found in soil, water, air, food, humans and animals. Bacillus are Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria characterized by their ability to produce a highly resistant spore. Bacillus subtilis group contain species that are general recognized as safe (GRAS) by the food and drugs administration (FDA), therefore, these species or their products are been used to produce natural or recombinant metabolites like antibiotics, enzymes, hormones, antibodies and vaccines.
Bacillus species have a long history related to the production of fermented foods and beverages, mainly due to the health benefits they cause in animals and humans.
In recent years, it has been determined that fermented products improve the health status and growth parameters of organisms since they increase food digestibility, inhibit pathogens development, stimulate immune system, control intestinal microbiota and modulate animal and humans metabolism.
In this Special Issue, we are inviting you to share with us the positive effects induced by Bacillus species in fish and crustaceans, without excluding other animals.
