Abstract
A novel microorganism such as a Bacillus sp. OYK-01-600 (FERM BP-6394) which has no induction period, immediately undergoes exponential growth, and is nonhemolytic. The bacteria have antimicrobial activities against toxic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, pathogenic Eschericia coli including O-157, Legionella pneumophila, and Klebsiella pneumoniac. The increased growth rate can inhibit bacteria which emit an ofensive odor and many noxious infection bacteria.
