Classification

Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Eubacteria Phylum: Firmicutes Class: Bacilli Order: Bacillales Genus: Bacilus


Species

Marisflavi

NCBI: Taxonomy

Genus species

Habitat Information

The organism was grown in a Nutrient Agar (NA) in temperatures of 30-35 degree celsius.

Description and Significance

The gram positive organism happened to be rod shaped measuring about 1.5-3.5 micrometers in size that is positive for endospore formation. The colony was circular, slightly irregular, and slightly raised with a shiny yellow color.

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? Include S Ribosomal sequence that you obtained from PCR and sequencing here.


Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.


Physiology and Pathogenesis

Biochemical characteristics, enzymes made, other characteristics that may be used to identify the organism; contributions to environment (if any).
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
