Species code:	BACC1
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 222523) [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, causing diarrheic (late onset) or emetic (quick onset) outbreaks. Bacillus cereus ATCC 10987 was isolated from a survey on cheese spoilage in Canada in 1930. It is not thought to be pathogenic. It is more similar to Bacillus anthracis strain Ames than Bacillus cereus ATCC 14679. It harbors a plasmid pBc10987 of 208 kb.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Human pathogen: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BACC1 entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 5821 (590 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 5231 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
