Bacillus subtilis is a Gram positive, rod shaped bacteria, commonly found in soil. It was originally named â Vibrio subtilisâ when it was discovered in 1835 by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. It was renamed â Bacillus subtilisâ in 1872 by Ferdinand Cohn.long with enzymes, Bacillus subtilis also produces a toxin called subtilisin.
