.
Gram positive
Rhizoid formation
immobile
Casein breakdown positive
Gelatin breakdown positive
Catalase positive
Glucose fermentation positive
Lactose fermentation negative
O/F Media Facultative anaerobe
Nitrate breakdown to nitrogen gas
Indole test: Tryptophanase not present
Hydrogen sulfide not present
Methyl red positive test for stable products
Citrate utilization proved to breakdown alkaline
It forms chains of cells, is non motile, and can form acid from glucose. Its cell body does not swell when sporulating, and is usually larger than 3 micrometres. Using the test Vosges-Prostkauer, Bacillus mycoides produces a positive result. It can also hydrolyse starch.
Bacillus
Bacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria and a member of the division Firmicutes. Bacillus species can be obligate aerobes or facultative anaerobes, and test positive for the enzyme catalase. Ubiquitous in nature, Bacillus includes both free-living and pathogenic species...
