A total of 268 strains of Bacillus spp. were investigated for their ability to hydrolyze 14 different fluorogenic 4-methylumbelliferyl-linked glycosidase substrates within 6 and 24 h of incubation. Glycosidase profiles were heterogeneous within the genus and some of the tests showed high separation index values; the profiles can therefore improve the differentiation of Bacillus spp. However, glycosidase profiles are not sufficient for unambiguous identification and should be used in combination with other biochemical tests.Key words: Bacillus, glycosidases, fluorogenic substrates, differentiation.
