## Abstract The antibiotic, difficidin, and its hydroxylated derivative oxydifficidin, were synthesized by cultures of __Bacillus subtilis__ grown on a complex medium. Maximum titers of about 200 and 130 mg/L, respectively, were obtained. In fermentations where the dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) wa

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Ξ³βGlutamyltranspeptidase (GGT; EC 2.3.2.2) is a widely distributed enzyme that is of interest in the food industry. In this study the effects of pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) on GGT synthesis from __Bacillus subtilis__ SK 11.004 were investigated. **RESULTS:** GGT produc
Scale-up of production of an alkaline protease, previously characterised from a new isolate of Bacillus subtilis for use as a bating enzyme in leather processing, is described. Before large-scale commercial production of the protease is possible, characteristics of the growth of the bacterium and en
