Bacillus is distinguished from the other endospore-forming bacteria on the basis of being a strict or facultative aerobe, rod-shaped, and (usually) catalase-positive.
The vegetative cell surface is a laminated structure that consists of a capsule, a proteinaceous surface layer (S-layer), several layers of peptidoglycan sheeting, and the proteins on the outer surface of the plasma membrane.
