“…The increased appearance of antibiotic resistant bacteria formed a global problem in need of an innovative solution. First, the use of antibiotics was limited resulting in a ban of aforementioned chemicals in livestock nutrition as growth promoters in the EU [ 5 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Following a vast amount of scientific research, probiotics show a great potential as a substitute for antibiotics with the means as growth promoters in animal nutrition.…”

“…Especially the poultry industry profits from probiotics [ 20 , 22 ]. Additionally, probiotics can also improve the health as a nutritional supplement in human nutrition [ 5 , 16 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 24 ]. LAB (lactic acid bacteria) such as Lactobacillus are commonly used as probiotics in human and livestock nutrition [ 20 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

The increased occurrence of antibiotic resistance and the harmful use of pesticides are a major problem of modern times. A ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal breeding has put a focus on the probiotics market. Probiotic food supplements are versatile and show promising results in animal and human nutrition. Chemical pesticides can be substituted by biopesticides, which are very effective against various pests in plants due to increased research. What these fields have in common is the use of spore‐forming bacteria. The endospore‐forming Bacillus spp. belonging to this group offer an effective solution to the aforementioned problems. Therefore, the biotechnological production of sufficient qualities of such endospores has become an innovative and financially viable field of research. In this review, the production of different Bacillus spp. endospores will be reviewed. For this purpose, the media compositions, cultivation conditions and bioprocess optimization methods of the last 20 years are presented and reflected.
