Bacillaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria from the order Bacillales . Many of these mostly rod-shaped bacteria are aerobic and cannot live in the absence of oxygen. An important characteristic is the ability to form endospores under unfavorable conditions (e.g. lack of food, temperature, etc.) . However, not all species in this family are capable of this.
Systematics
The Bacillaceae family is placed in the order Bacillales in the Firmicutes division . There are more than 50 types known (as of 2013). Here is a selection:
- Alkalibacillus Jeon et al. 2005
- Amphibacillus Niimura et al. 1990 emend. Ren et al. 2013
- Anaerobacillus Zavarzina et al. 2010
- Anoxybacillus Pikuta et al. 2000 emend. Pikuta et al. 2003
- Bacillus Cohn 1872
- Caldalkalibacillus Xue et al. 2006 emend. Zhao et al. 2008
- Cerasibacillus Nakamura et al. 2004
- Falsibacillus Zhou et al. 2009
- Filobacillus Schlesner et al. 2001
- Geobacillus Nazina et al. 2001 emend. Coorevits et al. 2012
- Gracilibacillus Wainø et al. 1999

- Halolactibacillus Ishikawa et al. 2005 emend. Cao et al. 2008
- Lentibacillus Yoon, et al. 2002 emend. Jeon et al. 2005
- Marinococcus Hao et al. 1985 emend. Wang et al. 2009
- Oceanobacillus Lu et al. 2002 emend. Hirota et al. 2013
- Ornithinibacillus Mayr et al. 2006
- Paraliobacillus Ishikawa et al. 2003
- Paucisalibacillus Nunes et al. 2006
- Pontibacillus Lim et al. 2005 emend. Chen et al. 2010
- Saccharococcus Nystrand 1984
- Salinibacillus Ren and Zhou 2005
- Tenuibacillus Ren and Zhou 2005
- Terribacillus An et al. 2007 emend. Krishnamurthi and Chakrabarti 2008
- Thalassobacillus García et al. 2005
- Virgibacillus Heyndrickx et al. 1998 emend. Heyrman et al. 2003
- Vulcanibacillus L'Haridon et al. 2006
The two species of Salibacillus were placed in the genus Virgibacillus : V. marismortui (Arahal et al. 1999) Heyrman et al. 2003 and V. salexigens (Garabito et al. 1997) Heyrman et al. 2003. With this the genre was dissolved.
