From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Bacillus subtilis, known also as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, is a Gram-positive, catalase-positive bacterium, found in soil and the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants and humans.s other members of the genus Bacillus, it can form an endospore, to survive extreme environmental conditions of temperature and desiccation. B. subtilis is a facultative anaerobe and had been considered as an obligate aerobe until 1998.
The capsule is not synthesized by the closest relatives of B. anthracis, i.e., B. cereus and B. thuringiensis, and this criterion can be used to distinguish the species. Cell Walls The variability of cell wall structure that is common in many Gram-positive bacteria does not occur in the genus Bacillus.tructure of the muropeptide subunit of the peptidoglycan of Bacillus megaterium. In most Bacillus species, an interpeptide bridge that connects D-alanine to meso-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) is absent. In addition, all Bacillus spores contain this type of muramic acid subunit in the spore cortex.
