B. subtilis is known to have a symbiotic relationship with the Azotobacter species. These two work together to lower the levels of insoluble phosphorus within soil. Soils that have a history of applied fertilizer benefit from the symbiotic relationship because of the phosphorus build up. The phosphorus gets trapped within the soil and begins to freeze, because the phosphate ion tightly bonds to the positive cations found in the soil. B. subtilis works with this other species by helping to release the phosphate bonds and distribute the phosphate throughout the different plants

• Bacillus subtilis produces a biosurfactant, Surfactin, in the presence of crude oil. Laboratory experiments show that the biosurfactant production is not inhibited by the presence of the crude oil. [10]
• Breakdown of paraffin and lighter oils reducing viscosity in hydrocarbon polluted water.
• Can convert explosives into harmless compounds of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water [Wikipedia]
• Used to produce lipases, amylase and proteases, enzymes used in breakdown of complex molecules and fats in waste water treatment and remediation [In-Pipe Technologies Inc USA; Traitement Sol-eau Inc., Canada; Bionetix, UK, Inocucor Inc. Canada, ABBC, California,]
Bacillus subtilis can be isolated from myriad environments – terrestrial and aquatic – making it appear as though this species is ubiquitous and broadly adapted to grow in diverse settings within the biosphere. However, like all members of the genus Bacillus, B. subtilis is capable of forming highly resistant dormant endospores in response to nutrient deprivation and other environmental stresses 1. These spores are easily made airborne and dispersed by wind 2, 3. Thus, spores might migrate long distances, land in a given environment but never germinate there. Considering that the traditional methods for isolating B. subtilis require that the organism be in its spore form, there is no guarantee that when a strain is isolated from a particular environment it was actually growing at that location. Thus, to date, the question of where B. subtilis grows remains largely unanswered.
Awesome! Never heard of this before, I always steamed beans and inoculated them directly with spores. What is the taste/smell like with the soy process using the powdered natto from the foodhealing site??Can buy 30 grams of good quality natto powder and pour a container of organic soy milk over it inside of a large sealed tupperware container and simply let it stand for at least 3 days at room temperature (about 25° Celsius). The result will be a delicious soy yogurt or soy cheese. www.foodhealing.org if you need a source for natto powder.
In addition to vitamin K2/MK-7 and vitamin K2/MK-8, the beneficial chemicals manufactured by the extremely beneficial probiotic bacterium, Bacillus subtilis natto, include vitamin PQQ, vitamin C, subtilisin (nattokinase), pyrazine, gamma-polyglutamic acid, scyllo-inositol, catalase, surfactin, conjugated isoflavone-phosphate, butyrate, nitric oxide, unusual polysaccharides, glycolipids, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, and bacitracin Tracy.
