Bacillus oleronius Kuhnigk et al. 1996 | |
Bacillus oleronius is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus . However, Bacillus oleronius has Gram-positive cell wall components shared among all bacillus species (Lacey N, 2007). It was first described in 1995 and was found in the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes . [1] It is also found in the human skin parasitic mite Demodex folliculorum , and may be related to the development of a type of rosacea. [2]
This species has been recently transferred into the genus Heyndrickxia. [3] The correct nomenclature is Heyndrickxia oleronia.
