The present disclosure relates to the field of microbiology, in particular to Bacillus aryabhattai having the function of hydrolyzing silicon and use thereof. The strain is selected from those: 1) preserved in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with the preservation number: CGMCC No. 17204; and preserved on Jan. 16, 2019; and/or 2) preserved in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with the preservation number: CGMCC No. 17203; and preserved on Jan. 16, 2019. The strain has the ability to hydrolyze silicon, and can also promote plant growth, and have alkali resistance, salt resistance and hypoxia resistance, thus having a very good application prospect.

The present invention provides methods of detecting a biothreat agent in a sample, comprising detecting at least one biothreat-specific amplicon in the sample. The methods also encompass confirming the absence of the biothreat agent by detecting Near Neighbor specific amplicons to avoid false positive results.

A strain separation method for preventing and controlling early bolting of Angelica sinensis, and preparation of a microbial agent and use thereof, the strain is obtained by separation, purification and cultivation from rhizosphere soil of Angelica sinensis, and is identified as Bacillus spp. by Microbial 16S rDNA sequencing; the strain was deposited at China Center for Type Culture Collection on Jun. 24, 2021 under CCTCC NO: M 2021767; tThe Bacillus velezensis XG3 strain provided by the present invention can promote the seed germination of Angelica sinensis and delay the flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana for about 2 days; according to field test verification, the microbial agent can increase the root weight, root diameter and rootlet number of Angelica sinensis, can effectively prevent and control early bolting of Angelica sinensis.

Compositions are provided for hydrocarbon cleaning applications, in particular cleaning the surface(s) of vessels or platforms fouled by hydrocarbon containing materials. In some embodiments, the composition comprises lignin, in particular technical lignin, and at least one strain of bacteria capable of biosurfactant production and/or a biosurfactant produced by at least one such isolated strain of bacteria, and a catholyte solution. Also provided is a method of cleaning the surface(s) of vessels or platforms fouled by hydrocarbon containing materials.

The present disclosure provides a Paenibacillus mucilaginosus LT1906 and use thereof, and a microorganism-activated circulating fluidized bed (CFB) fly ash-based cementitious material and a preparation method and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of cementitious materials. The Paenibacillus mucilaginosus LT1906 has a deposit number of CGMCC No. 21337. The strain is capable of dissolving silicate minerals and aluminosilicate minerals in the CFB fly ash to increase dissolution of active SiO.sub.2. The strain is used for activating the CFB fly ash-based cementitious material, to ameliorate a large water demand and a low early strength of the cementitious material, thereby improving comprehensive utilization of the CFB fly ash in the field of building materials.

Provided are a Bacillus coagulans strain VHProbi C08 having a blood glucose reduction efficacy and an application thereof in preparation of a hypoglycemic product. The accession number of the strain is CCTCCM 2019738. Further provided is a hypoglycemic product comprising the Bacillus coagulans VHProbi C08 and/or the fermentation product of Bacillus coagulans VHProbi C08. A carbon source used in the culture medium of the strain is any one or more of fructooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharides, and inulin.

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a fermented soy product comprising: inoculating a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CJ24-34 (KCCM12038P) strain into a soybean meal or a soy protein concentrate; and obtaining a fermented soybean meal or a fermented soy protein concentrate, which is fermented by culturing the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain, a fermented soy product prepared by the method, and an animal feed composition comprising the fermented product. The fermented soy product prepared by the method does not contain mucilage, shows an excellent antibacterial activity, and has a high content of low molecular weight peptides.
