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.
Catalase Test: Catalase is needed by cells that produce hydrogen peroxide and oxygen radicals from passing electrons in their electron transport chains of aerobic and facultative anaerobic respiration. Otherwise, these toxic compounds would damage the cell, especially the DNA. If catalase is present, bubbles will form from the oxygen that is made in the reaction: 2H2O2 + catalase ----> 2H2O + O2 + catalase. If your cells have catalase, you will see bubbles within a minute.
