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 subtilis, or B. subtilis, is a ubiquitous naturally occurring Gram-positive bacterium that is commonly recovered from soil, water, air, and decomposing plant material. It also is one of those microbes in which the strain used is extremely important.acillus subtilis is thought to have a weak ability to cause disease in humans unless the number of bacteria a person consumes is very high or the immune status of the person is very low.
