A Bacillus (Gram +) produces an endospore. It is called Bacillus. anthracis and causes the disease anthrax.
What are the gram reactions of clostridium and bacillus
Bacterial cells typically have one of three shapes: spherical (coccus), oblong (bacillus), or curved (spirillum of vibrio). Depending on the plane of binary fission, cells form chains, clusters with various geometry, or single cells.
A
The cell morphology of Staphylococcus aureus is spherical in appearance. Spherical bacterium are known as coccus and appear as tetrads (4) or more in groups. They stain Gram +.

A simple stain like iodine can make cell parts show up that would otherwise be nearly invisible since they are colorless.A simple stain like iodine will reveal a cell's morphology.
Methylene blue stains everything blue.

Yes because Methylene Blue is a symple stain which allows the staining of Cocci. The only thing that is done with the stain is to show the morphology of the bacteria, so one could tell the shape, size, and, arrangement.
B. subtilis is indeed a Gram positive rod.However, there is confusion as to whether it is an obligate aerobe or a facultative anaerobe. Although classed as an obligate aerobe, it has been shown to grow under strict anaerobic conditions.
Longer incubation of gram-stained slides causes some gram positive bacteria to become gram negative.
Simple or gram? Simple uses methylene blue, gram uses crystal violet
The malachite green penetrates the endospores, the counterstain of safranin will stain the vegetative cells. Endospores - greenish-blue Vegetative Cells - Red/Pink
