Habitat Information
Describe the location and conditions under which the organism was isolated. Location:Lat:30.002092 Long:-97.883009 Soil: Castephen Clay Loam/ 3-5% slopes, eroded Description: New housing development, empty lot Precipitation:Not within 48 hours Temperature:70, few clouds Depth: 1.25 inches Visibility: 10 miles Humidity: 59% Wind: S 10 mph Sea Level: 1011.8 Date & Time: September 8, 2016, 18:53
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance (colonial and cellular), possible antimicrobial activity etc. of the organism, and why the organism might be significant.
Description: Color- Yellow Form: Circular Margin: Entire Consistency: Semi-mucoid Texture: Smooth Elevation: Raised
Antimicrobial Activity: None Antibiotic Resistance: Nafcillin
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.
The pathogenicity of B. cereus, whether intestinal or non-intestinal, is intimately associated with the production of tissue-destructive exoenzymes.(1)
