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.

Bacteroides is a genus of Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacteria. Bacteroides species are non-endospore-forming bacilli, and may be either motile or non-motile, depending on the species.The DNA base composition is 40-48% GC. Unusual in bacterial organisms, Bacteroides membranes contain sphingolipids.They also contain meso-diaminopimelic acid in their peptidoglycan layer.acteroides species are non-endospore-forming bacilli, and may be either motile or non-motile, depending on the species.
