Abstract

Microorganisms are able to produce hundreds of unique chemical structures that can be effectively used by the human beings on their own benefit using the products in the chemical industry. Bacteria belonging to Bacillus genera are very good chemical factories capable to synthesize different compounds with a wide variety of activities. In this review, we try to review the compounds with their respective biological activities produced by different species of Bacillus.

Keywords: Secondary metabolites, Antibiotics, Antifungals, Growth promoters, Bacillus sp, natural compounds.
