Species code:	BACCZ
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 288681) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium of the B.cereus group. It is closely related to Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus thuringiensis. Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous soil organism and opportunistic human pathogen most commonly associated with food poisoning. B.cereus (strain ZK / E33L) was isolated from a zebra carcass in Namibia. It appears to be the nearest relative to B.anthracis isolated so far.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BACCZ entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 5638 (508 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 5130 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
