Antimicrobial, antiparasitic and antiproliferative effects of the extract of Bacillus safensis SG-32 isolated from a Brazilian oil reservoir

Strains previously isolated from offshore oil reservoirs in Campos Basin (RJ, Brazil) and Potiguar Basin (RN, Brazil) were tested for production of antimicrobial compounds. Sixteen bacteria produced compounds with antimicrobial activity. The strain chosen for further study was Bacillus safensis SG-32 based on its ability to inhibit 76% of the strains tested. The bacterium was grown in Marine Broth (MB) and the hexane...
