| ==Habitat Information==
| |
|
| |
| This soil organism was collected at the residence of 6804 Shier Cove in Austin, Texas. The soil was very dense and rough, about 1"-2" inches in depth.
| |
|
| |
| It resides in soils and some colonize in the root area of some plants where B. pumilus has antibacterial and anti-fungal activity. Some purposes of B. pumilus that are being researched are its involvement in bacterial hay preservation, and the use of B. pumilus plasmids in gene transfer systems. The proteases from B. pumilus are used in various industries. Food, chemical, detergent, and leather industries can benefit from the proteases from B. pumilus. The use of the plasmids from B. pumilus and insertion of other plasmids to the bacteria aide in various industries, and as anti-microbials and anti-fungals.
