Bacillaceae
Bacillus anthracis
Bacillaceae form a family of gram-positive bacteria from the order of Bacillales. Many of these usually rod-shaped bacteria are aerobic, they can not live without oxygen. An important feature is the ability under adverse conditions (eg, lack of food, temperature, etc. ) to form endospores. However, not all species of this family capable of doing.
System
The Bacillaceae family will be provided to the order Bacillales in the Department of Firmicutes. There are about 50 genera known (as of 2013). Here is a selection:
- Alkaline Bacillus Jeon et al. 2005
- Amphibacillus Niimura et al. 1990 emend. Ren et al. 2013
- Anaerobacillus Zavarzina et al. 2010
- Anoxybacillus Pikuta et al. 2000 emend. Pikuta et al. 2003
- Bacillus Cohn 1872
- Caldalkalibacillus Xue et al. 2006 emend. Zhao et al. 2008
- Cerasibacillus Nakamura et al. 2004
- Falsibacillus Zhou et al. 2009
- Filobacillus Schlesner et al. 2001
- Geobacillus Nazina et al. 2001 emend. Coorevits et al. 2012
- Gracilibacillus Waino et al. 1999

- Terri Bacillus An et al. 2007 emend. Krishnamurthi and Chakrabarti 2008
- Thalasso Bacillus García et al. 2005
- Virgibacillus Heyndrickx, et al. 1998 emend. Heyrman et al. 2003
- Vulcanibacillus L' Haridon et al. 2006
The two types of Salibacillus were asked to the genus Virgibacillus: V. marismortui ( Arahal et al 1999. ) Heyrman et al. 2003 and V. salexigens ( Garabito et al. 1997) Heyrman et al. 2003rd Thus, the genus was dissolved.
