Bacillaceae家族成员被认为是生物技术过程微生物工厂的良好来源。与芽孢杆菌和地芽孢杆菌相比，无芽氧杆菌是一种相对较新的细菌属，于2000年首次提出，可以是热嗜性和孢子形成的细菌群。热稳定微生物酶的开发、废物管理和生物修复过程在工业部门中是关键参数。Anoxybacillus菌株在生物技术应用中越来越受到关注。因此，不同栖息地隔离出的各种Anoxybacillus菌株已被探索和鉴定，用于酶的生产、生物修复和毒性化合物的生物降解等工业目的。某些菌株能够产生具有生物活性的外源多糖，包括抗微生物、抗氧化和抗癌活性。本综述旨在提供关于Anoxybacillus菌株及其在酶工业、环境过程和医学中潜在的生物技术应用的过去和最新发现。©2023年。作者（们）在Springer Nature B.V.的独家许可下。

The Bacillaceae family members are considered to be a good source of microbial factories for biotechnological processes. In contrast to Bacillus and Geobacillus, Anoxybacillus, which would be thermophilic and spore-forming group of bacteria, is a relatively new genus firstly proposed in the year of 2000. The development of thermostable microbial enzymes, waste management and bioremediation processes would be a crucial parameter in the industrial sectors. There has been increasing interest in Anoxybacillus strains for biotechnological applications. Therefore, various Anoxybacillus strains isolated from different habitats have been explored and identified for biotechnological and industrial purposes such as enzyme production, bioremediation and biodegradation of toxic compounds. Certain strains have ability to produce exopolysaccharides possessing biological activities including antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer. This current review provides past and recent discoveries regarding Anoxybacillus strains and their potential biotechnological applications in enzyme industry, environmental processes and medicine.© 2023.
