Information: 
<-ATCC <- Nr Smith (NRS 231) <- K.F. Kellermann. Comments: Deposited as Bacillus subtilis. CA Dunlap et al. reclassified Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii into the new species Bacillus spizizenii. Some databases may still identify this species by its previous name. Quality control strain. Used for assay of rifampin [rifampicin, rifamycin AMP], neomycin, monensin, kanamycin, lasalocid [X-537A], mitomycin [mitomycin C], vancomycin, novobiocin, penicillin, framycetin, tobramycin, spiramycin, gentamicins [gentamicin], amoxicillin, bekanamycin [kanamycin B; aminodeoxykanamycin], hygromycin B, streptomycin, erythromycin, dactinomycin [actinomycin; actinomycin D], streptonigrin, lactam antibiotics [beta-lactam antibiotics], capreomycin sulfate [capreomycin], and dihydrostreptomycin sulfate [dihydrostreptomycin]. Used in media, bactericides and sterility testing. Applied in Susceptibility disc testing of rifampin [rifampicin; rifamycin AMP] and novobiocin. Produces restriction endonuclease Bsu6633I.
