Brevibacillus brevis is a Gram-positive, aerobic, motile, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in soil, air, water, and decaying matter. It is rarely associated with infectious diseases. The antibiotics gramicidin and tyrocidine were first isolated from it. It produces β-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion, degradation, and cyclization of starch into β-cyclodextrin.
