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.

Nearly all cocci are immotile, while the bacilli may or may not be. By this orifice the cocci are enabled to escape from the detached scales. As a result there may be a variety of cell groupings among the cocci. A genus of schizomycetes in which the cocci are arranged in strings or in chains. Tetra- (in words of Greek composition), four; as, Tetracoccous, of four cocci.
