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.

Bordetella is a genus of small (0.2 - 0.7 Âµm), Gram-negative coccobacilli of the phylum Proteobacteria. Bordetella species, with the exception of B. petrii, are obligate aerobes, as well as highly fastidious, or difficult to culture.Three species are human pathogens (B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, B. bronchiseptica); one of these (B. bronchiseptica) is also motile.. bronchiseptica causes several diseases in other mammals, including kennel cough and atrophic rhinitis in dogs and pigs, respectively. Other members of the genus cause similar diseases in other mammals, and in birds (B. hinzii, B. avium). The Bordetella genus is named after Jules Bordet.
