Query: NC_011969:4613430 Bacillus cereus Q1 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Bacillus cereus; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: Isolated from a deep-subsurface oil reservoir in the Daqing oil field in northeastern China. This strain is non-pathogenic, and has potential for industrial use. Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium of the B.cereus group. It is closely related to Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus thuringiensis. Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous soil organism and opportunistic human pathogen most commonly associated with food poisoning, causing diarrheic (late onset) or emetic (quick onset) outbreaks.

General Information: This strain was isolated from Arctic marine sediments. Psychrophilic bacterium. This obligately psychrophilic red-pigmented organism is often found in sea ice, and can grow in temperatures down to -5 C, remaining motile even at those low temperatures. It can produce extracellular enzymes such as proteases that have activity at very low temperatures.
