Habitat Information
Bacillus marisflavi is a bacteria isolated from the tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea. 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. Bacillus marisflavi is also a motile organism.
