Bacillus mycoides is a bacterium in the Bacillus cereus group. It is differentiated from Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis by the rhizoid colony growth on nutrient media and the lack of motility . Profiles of fatty acids and the lack of acetanilide synthesis , which is characteristic of B. thuringiensis , are usedas further differentiation options . There are also variants that show no rhizoid growth and yet can be clearly assigned to B. mycoides .

Pathogenicity

In the spotted catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus ), B. mycoides can cause lesions and muscle necrosis . B. mycoides is classified in biological risk group 2.

application

The Bacillus mycoides isolate BmJ is being considered as an active ingredient in plant protection products . When growing cucumbers , it can inhibit the pest Colletotrichum orbiculare and thus reduce crop failures.
