Talk:Bacillus

message: Regarding this:
An easy way to isolate a Bacillus species is by placing non-sterile soil in a test tube with water, shake, place in melted mannitol salts agar, and incubate at room temperature for at least a day.
Its not that accurate, even if you dilution plate on to mannitol salts, you will get many different organisms growing. I know because I have done this, I got about 55 OTU's (operational taxonomic units) out of soil. So yep you will be some Bacillus, but lots of other species also. Onco p53 06:19, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I noticed someone added Bacillus larvae here, but this has actually been reclassified as Paenbacillus larvae - it should now probably go under a separate entry for genus Paenbacillus, although I left it here for the moment.  Any thoughts?
:Change it to Paenibacillus. note the spelling. Onco p53 19:03, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I just read about something called "Bacillus sp," here:   There's no Wikipedia article.  Should there be one?  Badagnani 04:05, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bacillus sp. is bacillus species. It just means all bacteria that are of the genus bacillus, such as bacillus cereus or bacillus subtilis. So this page is about bacillus species itself. ClamsonJ 20:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

B. subtilis is the first bacterium for which the role of a ipo0jkjjyuk,mhn actin-like cytoskeleton...
It is obvious that the ipo0jkjjyuk doesn't belong there... is it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.51.190.118 (talk) 13:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm confused as to weather Bacillus thermoproteolyticus is gram-positive or gram-negative. This source says its negative while this source lists it as positive. Can anyone clear this confusion up for me? K.murphy (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This section and the included table does not belong and appears to be self promotion. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus#Characteristics_of_Bacillus_spp.). Its a table talking about characteristics of some newly discovered bacillus species, it only represents the 9 species from the study and is not relevant to the whole characteristics of the genus. Bacillus spp. is the designation given to any new Bacillus species discovered before its given a proper species classification, meaning that it's not only temporarily representative of these 9 species but also misleadingly represents all other of the Bacillus species waiting for classification. Being misleading and appearing as self promotion it feels as though it should be removed. And personally, as an actual microbiologist its useless information crowding an otherwise useful page.
