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.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Bacillus megaterium is a rod-like, Gram-positive, mainly aerobic spore forming bacterium found in widely diverse habitats. With a cell length of up to 4 Âµm and a diameter of 1.5 Âµm, B. megaterium is amongst the biggest known bacteria.The cells often occur in pairs and chains, where the cells are joined together by polysaccharides on the cell walls.In the 1960s, prior to the development of Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium was the main model organism among Gram-positive bacteria for intensive studies on biochemistry, sporulation and bacteriophages.he cells often occur in pairs and chains, where the cells are joined together by polysaccharides on the cell walls.
