Rossellomorea
''Rossellomorea'' is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-Positive or Gram-variable staining rod-shaped bacteria in the family ''Bacillaceae'' from the order ''Bacillales.'' The type species of this genus is ''Rossellomorea aquimaris.'' Members of ''Rossellomorea'' are previously species belonging to ''Bacillus'', a genus that has been recognized by the scientific community as displaying phylogenetic heterogeneity among its members. 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 ''Rossellomorea'' was named after the Spanish microbiolo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bacillaceae
Bacillaceae, from Latin "bacillus", meaning "little staff, wand", are a family of gram-positive, heterotrophic, rod-shaped bacteria that may produce endospores. Motile members of this family are characterized by peritrichous flagella. Some Bacillaceae are aerobic, while others are facultative or strict anaerobes. Most are not pathogenic, but ''Bacillus'' species are known to cause disease in humans. Gram-variable cell wall Some Bacillaceae, such as the genera '' Filobacillus, Lentibacillus,'' and '' Halobacillus'', stain Gram-negative or Gram-variable, but are known to have a Gram-positive cell wall.Lim, J.M., Jeon, C.O., Song, S.M., and C.J.

Nomenclature Taxa within this family are sometimes colloquially identified as "bacilli". However, this term is ambiguous because it does not distinguish ...
