JUAN ESTEBAN HERNANDEZ BACILLUS SUBTILIS SHORT DESCRIPTION Bacillus subtilis, also known as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, is a Gram-positive, bacteria found in soil and ruminant and human gastrointestinal tracts. B. subtilis is a rod-shaped Bacillus species that can form a tough, protective endospore, allowing it to resist hard environmental conditions. TAXONOMY Domain: Bacteria METABOLISM Phylum: Firmicutes Bacillus subtilis, a soil bacteria, can Class: Bacilli obtain carbon and energy from sugars Order: Bacillales or organic acids. This is done by Family: Bacillaceae Glycolysis ("Glycolysis is the metabolic Genus: Bacillus pathway that converts glucose, into Species:B. subtilis pyruvic acid. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high- energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes ".). While B. subtilis' response to the availability of sugars is wel
