Microbiomes
Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium that is commonly found in soil and the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants and humans. Known for its resilience, it can form endospores, allowing it to survive extreme environmental conditions such as high temperatures and desiccation. This ability to endure harsh conditions makes it a significant organism in the study of microbiomes in extreme environments.
