The Bacillus cereus group includes several Bacillus species with closely related phylogeny.
The most well-studied members of the group, B. anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis …

Bacillus cereus is one of the leading etiological agents of toxin‐induced foodborne
diseases. Its omnipresence in different environments, spore formation, and its ability to adapt …

The toxin-producing bacterium Bacillus cereus is an important and neglected human
pathogen and a common cause of food poisoning. Several toxins have been implicated in …

Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are incredible macromolecular machines that
produce a wide range of biologically-and therapeutically-relevant molecules. During …

Cereulide, which can be produced by Bacillus cereus, is strongly associated with emetic-
type food poisoning outbreaks. It is an extremely stable emetic toxin, which is unlikely to be …

Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive endospore forming bacterium known for its wide spectrum
of phenotypic traits, enabling it to occupy diverse ecological niches. Although the population …

Many biologically active natural products are synthesized by nonribosomal peptide
synthetases (NRPSs), polyketide synthases (PKSs) and their hybrids. These …

Strains of the Bacillus cereus group have been widely used as probiotics for human beings,
food animals, plants, and environmental remediation. Paradoxically, B. cereus is …

In recent years, the emetic toxin cereulide, produced by Bacillus cereus, has gained high
relevance in food production and food safety. Cereulide is synthesized non-ribosomal by the …

As microbial genome sequencing becomes more widespread, the capacity of
microorganisms to produce an immense number of metabolites has come into better view …
