Brevibacllus brevis
Description and Significance
Brevibacillus-brevis is a rod shaped Gram-positive bacterium that inhabits air, soil, water, and decaying matter. This aerobic bacterium is motile and forms spores. This bacterium is medically significant as the antibiotics tyrocidine and gramicidin were first isolated from it. Brevibacillus-brevis is also an important nitrogen fixer, auxin and ammonia producer, antifungal, and antibacterial that is beneficially utilized in agriculture.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
