Bacillus subtilis


Hi there.
My name is B. subtilis.
I am a Gram Positive bacteria, but I'm a rod.
I can be found in soil.

I can form an 'endospore', a little coating that protects me.
When I'm in my endospore I can survive very high temperatures.
I don't often hurt people, infact sometimes I help them.
I'm used in labratories to test tools like heating machines.
