Description

Bacillus spores are being investigated for use in fabric care products. Conceptually, Bacillus spores will deposit onto textiles during the wash cycle, during wear they will germinate to vegetative cells in response to soils (sweat, sebum, stains) and produce extracellular enzymes for soil degradation ahead of the wash cycle.
