GlossaryBacillus

genus of rod-shaped, spore-forming, Gram-positive bacteria

Bacillus refers to a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacteria that are commonly found in soil and water. Some species of Bacillus are known for their ability to form durable spores, which can survive in harsh conditions. While many Bacillus species are harmless and even beneficial, such as Bacillus subtilis used in probiotics, others like Bacillus anthracis can cause serious diseases, including anthrax.
