Bacillus pumilus is a Gram-positive, aerobic, spore-forming bacillus commonly found in soil. B. pumilus spores generally show high resistance to environmental stresses, including light exposure, desiccation, and the presence of oxidizers such as hydrogen peroxide. A strain of B. pumilus isolated from black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) was found...

Paenibacillus polymyxa is a Gram-positive bacterium capable of fixing nitrogen. The species may also beknown as Bacillus polymyxa. It is found in soil, plant roots, and marine sediments.Bacillus polymyxa is a Gram-positive bacterium capable of fixing nitrogen.

Bacillus megaterium is a rod-like, Gram-positive, mainly aerobic spore forming bacterium found in widely diverse habitats. With a cell length of up to 4 μm and a diameter of 1.5 μm, B. megaterium is amongst the biggest known bacteria. The cells often occur in pairs and chains, where the...

Bacillus licheniformis is a bacterium commonly found in the soil. It is found on bird feathers, especially chest and back plumage, and most often in ground-dwelling birds (like sparrows) and aquatic species (like ducks). It is a gram-positive, mesophilic bacterium. Its optimal growth temperature is around 30°C, though it...

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a species of bacterium in the genus Bacillus that is the source of the BamH1 restriction enzyme. It also synthesizes a natural antibiotic protein barnase, a widely studied ribonuclease that forms a famously tight complex with its intracellular inhibitorbarstar, and plantazolicin, an antibiotic with selective Activity...
