Bacillus megaterium

Bacillus megaterium is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive species of bacteria used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. Gram staining (or Gram's method) is an empirical method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups ( Gram-positive and The Bacteria ( singular: bacterium) are a large group of unicellular Microorganisms Typically a few Micrometres in length bacteria have Soil inoculants are Bacteria or Fungi that are added to soils in order to enhance Plant growth by either Freeing up soil nutrients for Agriculture refers to the production of goods through the growing of plants and fungi and the raising of domesticated Animals The study of agriculture Horticulture is the art and science of plant cultivation Horticulturists (or horticuluralists) work and conduct research in the fields of Plant propagation Bacterium is arranged into the streptobacillus form.

Bacillus megaterium is a rod shaped bacteria and one of the largest eubacteria found in soil. Groups of the bacteria are often found in chains where the cells are joined together by polysaccharides on the cell walls. Bacillus megaterium is able to survive in some extreme conditions such as desert environments due to the spores it forms.
