So if you go up to the butcher counter and get chicken wrapped up in butcher paper, that 2 day time period to use up or freeze would be much more accurate. I give myself 1-2 days past the date on the sealed chicken before I cook or freeze.
This bacterium is also known by the names hay bacillus, grass bacillus, or Bacillus globigii. Bacillus subtilis is an endospore forming bacteria, and the endospore that it forms allows it to withstand extreme temperatures as well as dry environments. Bacillus subtilis is considered and obligate aerobe, but can also function anaerobicly when in the presence of nitrates or glucose. Bacillus subtilis is not considered pathogenic or toxic and is not a disease causing agent. Bacillus subtilis has a flagellum which makes motility faster.
Due to the metabolic diversity in the genus Bacillus, bacilli are able to colonize a variety of habitats ranging from soil and insects to humans. Bacillus thuringiensis parasitizes insects, and is commercially used for pest control.Although the most well known of the bacilli are the pathogenic species, most Bacillus are saprophytes that make their living off of decaying matter.Still others, namely Bacillus subtilis, inhabit the rhizosphere, which is the interface between plant roots and the surrounding soil.acillus thuringiensis parasitizes insects, and is commercially used for pest control.
