The genus Bacillus was named in 1835 by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, to contain rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria. He had seven years earlier named the genus Bacterium. Bacillus was later amended by Ferdinand Cohn to further describe them as spore-forming, Gram-positive, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria. [14]
Solibacillus is a genus of Gram positive, rod shaped, spore-forming bacteria. The first member of Solibacillus was first isolated in 1999, and was originally called Bacillus silvestris. However, further studies on B. silvestris found that the organism belonged in a separate genus.
Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in soil, food, ... These bacteria are both spore-forming and biofilm-forming, ...
Anoxybacillus is a genus of rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Anoxybacillus occur in geothermal springs , manure and milk processing plants . [ 5 ]
Alicyclobacillus is a genus of Gram-variable, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria. The bacteria are able to grow in acidic conditions, while the spores are able to survive typical pasteurization procedures.
Tumebacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria.Members of the genus can be motile or non-motile, [1] and form white or yellow colonies on R2A agar.
A diagram of C. tetani showing the bacterium alone, with a spore being produced, and the spore alone. Clostridium tetani is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium, typically up to 0.5 μm wide and 2.5 μm long. [1] It is motile by way of various flagella that surround its body. [1] C. tetani cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. [1]
The wrong decision can be catastrophic: a vegetative cell will die if the conditions are too harsh, while bacteria forming spores in an environment which is conducive to vegetative growth will be out competed. [3] In short, initiation of sporulation is a very tightly regulated network with numerous checkpoints for efficient control. [citation ...
