Bacillus Subtilis: A Highly Versatile Bacterium
Bacillus Subtilis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus. It forms part of the natural flora found in soil and the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals. Some key characteristics of this ubiquitous bacterium include:
- It is a facultative anaerobe capable of growing with or without oxygen.
- Cells are typically 0.5-1.0 μm wide and 2-6 μm long forming central or terminal spores during unfavorable growth conditions.
- Metabolism relies on fermentation of sugars and amino acids under strict anaerobic conditions.
- Non-pathogenic to humans and commonly used for industrial and research applications.
