Neobacillus
''Neobacillus'' is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria that show Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-variable staining. This genus belongs under the family ''Bacillaceae'' within the order ''Bacillales''. The type species of ''Neobacillus'' is ''Neobacillus niacini.'' Members of this genus were previously part of the genus ''Bacillus''. It has long been recognized that the genus ''Bacillus'' comprises a wide range of phylogenetically unrelated bacteria, demonstrated through multiple phylogenetic studies and comparative genome studies. ''Bacillus'' species were assigned based on vague criteria such as the ability to form endospores in the presence of oxygen, a criterion that many diverse, unrelated bacteria share. The result is a big genus comprising over 300 species with distinct biochemical characteristics that are not uniquely shared by all members, leaving no way to reliably distinguish ''Bacillus'' species from other bacteria. Subsequently, many studies have used phylogen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bacillus Fumarioli
''Bacillus fumarioli'' is a species of aerobic endospore-forming bacteria. It is moderately thermophilic and acidophilic, with type strain LMG 17489T. This species has been recently transferred into the genus ''Neobacillus''. The correct nomenclature is ''Neobacillus fumarioli.'' References Further reading * *Berkeley, Roger, et al., eds.
