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.

What bacteria and fungi are simple organisms used to make?

Bacteria like Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis are used to produce antibiotics, enzymes, and vaccines. Fungi like Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are utilized for producing food products like bread, beer, and cheese, as well as for manufacturing antibiotics and enzymes.


Are bacteria metabolically complex or simple?

Bacteria can exhibit a range of metabolic complexity, from simple to complex. Some bacteria have relatively simple metabolic pathways that involve a few key reactions, while others have more complex metabolic capabilities that allow them to utilize a wide variety of nutrients and thrive in diverse environments.


What is the scientific name for bacterial?

The scientific name for bacteria is "Bacteria." It is a domain of single-celled microorganisms that have a simple cellular structure lacking a nucleus.


What will bacteria do with products for starch hydrolysis?

Let me guess, this question is for a lab write up in your microbiology class? When your bacteria, probably Bacillus cereus, act on starch they produce glucose. You have probably already done this lab but the bacteria will ferment the glucose. E.coli does not hydrolyze the starch because it does not produce amylase (which break down the starch into simple sugars).


What is the advantage over the simple stain?

Gram staining highlights different bacteria types through the use of special dyes. It aids in the diagnosis of a specific organism and tells the difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Simple staining is unable to highlight the exact organism.

Why is bacillus subtilis able to grow after exposure to even 80 degrees Fahrenheit?

The simple answer is that Bacillus is capable of producing endospores. Endospores can withstand a wider variety of extreme conditions that would be harmful to other cells - such as radiation, abrasion, extremes of heat and cold, and lack of nutrients and water.


Do bacillus live in extreme environments?

Most extremophiles are simple, single-celled life forms, yet many are not. Extremophiles occur in all three domains of life: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. ... However, archaea aren't restricted to extreme environments; they live in most of the same places as bacteria
