Priestia megaterium [1] (Bacillus megaterium prior to 2020) [2] is a rod-like, Gram-positive, mainly aerobic, spore forming bacterium found in widely diverse habitats. [3] [4] It has a cell length up to 100 μm and a diameter of 0.1 μm, which is quite large for bacteria. [5]
Priestia, as of May 2021, contains 10 species with validly published names. [3] This genus was identified as a monophyletic clade and phylogenetically unrelated to other Bacillus species in studies examining the taxonomic relationships within Bacillus. [1]

Megaterium is a specific name used for several taxa of bacterium: Aquimarina megaterium, a bacterium from seawater; Bacillus megaterium, a bacterium found in many habitats; Gemmobacter megaterium, a bacterium from planktonic seaweed; Marinospirillum megaterium, a bacterium from fermented brine
Bacillus (Latin "stick") is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum Bacillota, with 266 named species.The term is also used to describe the shape (rod) of other so-shaped bacteria; and the plural Bacilli is the name of the class of bacteria to which this genus belongs.
Other strains of Bacillus bacteria that phage are known to infect include B. megaterium, B. mycoides, B. pseudomycoides, B. thuringiensis, and B. weihenstephanensis. More than 1,455 bacillus phage have been discovered from many different environments and areas around the world. [5]
