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.

The genus bacillus consists of large gram-positive rods that form spores and grow best under aerobic conditions. Most species are saprobic and are found on vegetation and in soil, water, and air. The only species that is highly pathogenic for man is B. anthracis.B. cereus is responsible for outbreaks of food poisoning.The anthrax bacillus is unusually large and was the first bacterium shown to cause disease.
