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 ]

Two invalidly published species, "Bacillus pseudoflexus" and "Bacillus zanthoxyli", are also found to group with other members of Priestia in phylogenetic trees, as well as share the same molecular markers in the form of CSIs. [1] Their transfer was not officially proposed, though, due to the lack of culture strain information.
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.
Bacillus megaterium for example, synthesizes a capsule composed of polypeptide and polysaccharides. Bacillus anthracis; Streptococcus pyogenes synthesizes a hyaluronic acid capsule. Streptococcus pneumoniae [20] has at least 91 different capsular serotypes. [21] These serotypes are the basis for the pneumococcal vaccines.
For example, the antibiotics chloramphenicol and tetracyclin inhibit the bacterial ribosome but not the structurally different eukaryotic ribosome, so they exhibit selective toxicity. [28] Antibiotics are used both in treating human disease and in intensive farming to promote animal growth.
Coliform and Streptococci are examples of non-motile bacteria as are Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Yersinia pestis. Motility is one characteristic used in the identification of bacteria and evidence of possessing structures: peritrichous flagella, polar flagella and/or a combination of both. [2] [3]
Cytochrome P450 family 109 subfamily E member 1 (abbreviated CYP109E1) is a prokaryote monooxygenase of CYP109 family originally from Bacillus megaterium, [1] could atc as a 24- and 25-Hydroxylase for Cholesterol. [2]
