Genomic and Phenotypic Characterization of Sandstorm-Derived Airborne Bacillus Strains Reveals Diverse Biosynthetic Potential

Background/Objectives: Bacillus spp. are often isolated from airborne microbiota. Five Bacillus strains (AD12–16) isolated from dust during a sandstorm in Kuwait were characterized for their potential to produce antimicrobial compounds, biosurfactants and siderophores by genotypi...
