Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
Description and Significance
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a soil bacteria closely related to the species Baciullus subtilus. The two species share many homologous genes. [#References | [1]]] The species is also the source of the commercially available restriction enzyme BamHI which cuts at the palindrome CGATCC. [2]
Structure, Metabolism, and Life Cycle
Interesting features of its structure; how it gains energy (how it replicates, if virus); what important molecules it produces (if any), does it have an interesting life cycle?
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Natural habitat (soil, water, commensal of humans or animals?)
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, or plant hosts? Important virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
