A B cereus uses swarming to move over surfaces. They can only move in large groups.
It doesn't actually move like an animal but it does produce endospores which are similar to seeds which can travel to new areas to colonize.
Bacillus cereus is oxidase negative -

Staph gives both MR and VP positive. MR is used to detect acid production and VP for alkaline or neutral products. Staph first converts into acidic products and has ability to convert those acidic products into some neutral/basic products side by side. Hence it gives both positive results.
Bacillus cereus is a Gram positive, soil dwelling ,beta hemolytic , endemic bacterium. It causes food borne diseases.It is a facultative anaerobe and like other members of the genus Bacillus,, produces endospores.
Longer incubation of gram-stained slides causes some gram positive bacteria to become gram negative.
Polymyxin B is the agar and broth that is used for bacillus cereus for cultivation.
B. cereus utilizes fructose (Fructose +) and fructose has been shown to help B. cereus produce toxins (2009).If you're ever in doubt about an organism's fermentation status, go to pubmed and you'll find everything you need.
In many studies ciprofloxacin and vancomycin have been found to be very effective in treating against B. Cereus. Penicillin was not effective.
Bacillus cereus is oxidase negative -
Cereus hildmannianus was created in 1890.
Cereus pedunculatus was created in 1777.
