Cytobacillus (original) (raw)
Cytobacillus is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria that stain either Gram-positive or Gram-variable in the family Bacillaceae within the order Bacillales. The type species for this genus is Cytobacillus firmus. The name Cytobacillus can be broken down into the prefix "cyto-" (from the Greek noun kytos, referring to hollow, vessel, jar or a cell in biology) and the suffix "-bacillus" (from the Latin noun bacillus, referring to a small staff or rod and Bacillus, the bacterial genus). Together, Cytobacillus refers to a rod-shaped cell.

| dbo:abstract | Cytobacillus is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria that stain either Gram-positive or Gram-variable in the family Bacillaceae within the order Bacillales. The type species for this genus is Cytobacillus firmus. Members of this genus was transferred from the Bacillus genus after comparative genomics studies have determined they were sufficiently different by phylogenetic measures than Bacillus subtilis, the type species of the genus Bacillus. The genus Bacillus has long been under close scrutiny by the scientific community due to its polyphyletic nature, displaying many distinct monophyletic groupings in various phylogenetic trees within the genus. In addition, while Bacillus species have a diverse range of biochemical characteristics, there is no unique characteristic that can be used to reliably distinguish all Bacillus species from other bacteria. Many studies have used phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses as a means towards clarifying the complicated taxonomic relationships within Bacillus, resulting in the transfer of many species into novel genera such as Alkalihalobacillus, Virigibacillus, Brevibacillus, Solibacillus and Evansella. In addition, the genus Bacillus has been restricted to include only species closely related to Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. The name Cytobacillus can be broken down into the prefix "cyto-" (from the Greek noun kytos, referring to hollow, vessel, jar or a cell in biology) and the suffix "-bacillus" (from the Latin noun bacillus, referring to a small staff or rod and Bacillus, the bacterial genus). Together, Cytobacillus refers to a rod-shaped cell. (en) |
