Bacillus Circulans
''Bacillus circulans'' is a soil-dwelling human pathogen which has been associated with "septicemia, mixed abscess infections, and wound infections", as well as with meningitis. This species has been recently transferred into the genus ''Niallia ''Niallia'' is a genus of Gram-Positive rod-shaped bacteria in the family ''Bacillaceae'' from the order ''Bacillales.'' The type species of this genus is ''Niallia circulans.'' Members of ''Niallia'' are previously species belonging to ''Bacill ...''. The correct nomenclature is ''Niallia circulans.'' Morphology Staining Gram-positive, Gram-variable or Gram-negative. Positive spore stain result. Shape and size Vegetative cell Straight, occasionally curved rods, 2.0-4.2 x 0.5-0.8 μm, motile by peritrichous flagella. Spores Has ellipsoidal spores which are subterminal or terminal; swelling the sporangia. These are "centrally located" and either cylindrical or "Kidney-shaped".

Edwin O
The name Edwin means "rich friend". It comes from the Old English elements "ead" (rich, blessed) and "ƿine" (friend). The original Anglo-Saxon form is Eadƿine, which is also found for Anglo-Saxon figures.

Niallia
''Niallia'' is a genus of Gram-Positive rod-shaped bacteria in the family '' Bacillaceae'' from the order '' Bacillales.'' The type species of this genus is ''Niallia circulans.'' Members of ''Niallia'' are previously species belonging to '' Bacillus'', a genus that has long been recognized by the scientific community as displaying extensive polyphyly and phylogenetic heterogeneity due to the vague criteria previously used to assign species to this clade. Multiple studies using comparative phylogenetic analyses have been published in an attempt to clarify the evolutionary relationships between ''Bacillus'' species, resulting in the establishment of numerous novel genera such as '' Alkalihalobacillus'', ''Brevibacillus, Solibacillus'', ''Alicyclobacillus,'' ''Virgibacillus'' and ''Evansella''. In addition, the genus ''Bacillus'' has been restricted to only include species closely related to '' Bacillus subtilis'' and '' Bacillus cereus.'' The name ''Niallia'' was named after the ...

Bacillus
''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'' species can be either obligate aerobes which are dependent on oxygen, or facultative anaerobes which can survive in the absence of oxygen. Cultured ''Bacillus'' species test positive for the enzyme catalase if oxygen has been used or is present. ''Bacillus'' can reduce themselves to oval endospores and can remain in this dormant state for years. The endospore of one species from Morocco is reported to have survived being heated to 420 °C. Endospore formation is usually triggered by a lack of nutrients: the bacterium divides within its cell wall, and one side then engulfs the other. They are not true spores (i.e., not an offspring). Endospore fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
