Abstract: Brevibacillus laterosporus has the functions of antibiosis, insecticide, anti- tumor and so on, the parasporal body of B. laterosporus and the metabolites are the key factors affecting its functions. In order to promote the product development and application process of B. laterosporuss in various fields, the characteristics and functions of the canoe-shaped parasporal body (CSPB), the homogeneous parasporal body (hoPB), the striated parasporal body (stPB) and the parasporal crystal of B. laterosporus, were reviewed. The structure and characteristics of various metabolites of B. laterosporus, such as laterosporamine, basiliskamide, antimicrobial peptides, enzymes, immunosuppressant, bacithrocins, aminopeptidase inhibitors, etc., were introduced. The research status of the related functional genes was concluded. Taken together, the current application status and existing problems of B. laterosporus in various fields were summarized and analyzed, and its research prospect and developing trend were discussed.
