Bacillus Azotoformans

	Bacillus Azotoformans ''Bacillus azotoformans'' is a species of bacteria within the genus ''Bacillus ''Bacillus'' (Latin "stick") is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum ''Bacillota'', with 266 named species. The term is also used to describe the shape (rod) of other so-shaped bacteria; and the plural ''Bacilli ...''. Novel nitrite reductases have been isolated from strains of this species. This species has been recently transferred into the genus '' Schinkia''. The correct nomenclature is ''Schinkia azotoformans.''

picture info	Bacillus ''Bacillus'' (Latin "stick") is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum ''Bacillota'', with 266 named species. The term is also used to describe the shape (rod) of other so-shaped bacteria; and the plural ''Bacilli'' is the name of the class of bacteria to which this genus belongs. ''Bacillus'' species can be either obligate aerobes which are dependent on oxygen, or facultative anaerobes which can survive in the absence of oxygen. Cultured ''Bacillus'' species test positive for the enzyme catalase if oxygen has been used or is present. ''Bacillus'' can reduce themselves to oval endospores and can remain in this dormant state for years. The endospore of one species from Morocco is reported to have survived being heated to 420 °C. Endospore formation is usually triggered by a lack of nutrients: the bacterium divides within its cell wall, and one side then engulfs the other. They are not true spores (i.e., not an offspring).

	Nitrite Reductase Nitrite reductase refers to any of several classes of enzymes that catalyze the reduction of nitrite. There are two classes of NIR's. A multi haem enzyme reduces NO2− to a variety of products. Copper containing enzymes carry out a single electron transfer to produce nitric oxide. Iron based There are several types of iron based enzymes. Cytochrome cd1, or ''Pseudomonas'' cytochrome oxidase contains two c and two d type hemes with two polypeptide chains. Different forms of this reductase catalyze the formation of nitric oxide or nitrous oxide.

	Schinkia ''Schinkia'' is a genus of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria in the family '' Bacillaceae'' from the order '' Bacillales.'' The type species of this genus is ''Schinkia azotoformans.'' Members of ''Schinkia'' are previously species belonging to '' Bacillus'', a genus that has been recognized as displaying extensive polyphyly and phylogenetic heterogeneity due to the vague criteria (such as the ability to form endospores in the presence of oxygen) previously used to assign species to this clade. Multiple studies using comparative phylogenetic analyses have been published in an attempt to clarify the evolutionary relationships between ''Bacillus'' species, resulting in the establishment of numerous novel genera such as '' Alkalihalobacillus'', ''Brevibacillus'', ''Solibacillus'', ''Alicyclobacillus'', ''Virgibacillus'', and Evansella. In addition, the genus ''Bacillus'' has been restricted to only include species closely related to '' Bacillus subtilis'' and '' Bacillus cereus.'' ...
