Bacillus stearothermophilus is a rod-shaped, Gram-positivebacteria and a member of the division Firmicutes. The bacteria is a thermophile and is widely distributed in soil, hot springs, ocean sediment, and is a cause of spoilage in food products. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

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.
Bacillus antibiotics share a full range of antimicrobial activity: bacitracin, pumulin, laterosporin, gramicidin and tyrocidin are effective against Gram-positivebacteria; colistin and polymyxin are anti-Gram-negative; difficidin is broad spectrum; and mycobacillin and zwittermicin are anti-fungal.
Bacillus (Geobacillus) stearothermophilus Strain 10 is being sequenced by Sharon Lewis, a graduate student in our laboratory at the University of Oklahoma, Norman Campus's Advanced Center for Genome Technology, in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, which is funded in part by an NSF EPSCoR grant
The Bacillus (Geobacillus) stearothermophilus - Strain 10 being sequenced, has been submitted to the ATCC but because of restrictions by the National Park Service cannot be distributed by the ATCC.
