upâ¢stream. 1. toward or in the higher part of a stream; against the current. 2. directed or situated upstream. 3. against or opposite to the direction of transcription, translation, or synthesis of a DNA, RNA, or protein molecule.
Bacillus licheniformis is an interesting type of bacteria because it affects humans in many different ways. B. licheniformis is Gram-positive and rod-shaped. It is a motile bacterium, a facultative anaerobe (unlike other bacilli that are typically aerobic), and closely related to Bacillus subtilis.B. licheniformis produces endospores, and is usually found in the soil as spores.It is an apathogenic microorganism that is usually associated with plants and plant materials.t is a motile bacterium, a facultative anaerobe (unlike other bacilli that are typically aerobic), and closely related to Bacillus subtilis.

Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, 1 - 1.2Âµm in width and 3 - 5Âµm in length. It lives in soils worldwide at mesophilic temperatures (10).It can be grown in aerobic or anaerobic conditons (facultative anaerobe) in a medium with essential nutrients, including carbon and nitrogen sources (7).t is similar to Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus thuringiensis in cellular size, morphology, and spore formation (7). Bacillus anthracis is an important organism to study genome sequence because it's used as a biological weapon (1). Genome sequencing can also be useful for the development of vaccines.
