Bacterial proteins as formulation ingredients.

细菌是单细胞生物，生活在称为生物膜的社会社区中。数千年来，细菌已经进化出复杂的策略，将三维引入生物膜。这种结构复杂的结构是由蛋白质和在细胞外环境中发挥作用的大糖分子组合在生物学上产生的。枯草芽孢杆菌是一种具有高度工业意义的生物，用于大规模生产“生物”洗衣粉中使用的酶，以及日本发酵食品纳豆的小规模生产。B。枯草芽孢杆菌形成生物膜，并且生物膜的一些组分已经显示出用于稳定食品和个人护理产品的感兴趣的性质。在这个应用中，我们提出利用由B产生的分子来开发自然。枯草芽孢杆菌在广泛的应用中具有很高的工业意义。

Bacteria are single celled organisms that live in social communities called biofilms. Over the millennia bacteria have evolved sophisticated strategies to introduce three-dimensionality to the biofilm. The architecturally complex structure is generated biologically using a combination of proteins and large sugar molecules that function in the environment outside the cell. Bacillus subtilis is an organism of high industrial significance, used for the mass production for enzymes used in 'biological' laundry powders, as well as the smaller-scale production of the Japanese fermented food product Natto. B. subtilis forms biofilms, and some of the components of the biofilm have shown properties of interest for the stabilisation of foodstuffs and personal care products. In this application we propose to exploit nature by using the molecules produced by B. subtilis in a wide range of applications of high industrial significance.
