Bacillus subtilis is a gram-positive bacterium, and its cells are rod shaped. The bacteria are usually cultured in Tryptone Soya Agar, and the colonies appear wrinkled, dull and raised. This bacterium colonizes vegetation and is prevalent in the soil.
Bacillus cereus typically forms large, flat, and irregular colonies with a rough texture and a translucent to opaque appearance. Bacillus megaterium produces larger colonies that are often circular, smooth, and can have a glossy surface. In contrast, Bacillus subtilis colonies are usually smaller, more spreading, and may appear rough or undulate, often exhibiting a characteristic matte texture. Overall, the differences in size, shape, and surface texture help distinguish these three Bacillus species in culture.
Polymyxin B is the agar and broth that is used for bacillus cereus for cultivation.
No
Bacillus cereus is generally susceptible to erythromycin. However, it's important to note that antibiotic susceptibility can vary, so it's recommended to perform a susceptibility test to confirm the effectiveness of erythromycin against a specific strain of Bacillus cereus.
Because bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, and rod-shaped, it\'s only able to ferment glucose.

bacillus cereus
Rice and wheat. Bacillus cereus spores are found in cereal grains.
bacillua cereus
Cream coloured (on nutrient agar); Flat and circular with undulate margins.
its a enemy
bacillus megatarium test positive for sucrose where creus doesnt
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.
It is a rod-shaped organism.
