Bacillus badius explained

Bacillus badius is a Gram-positive aerobic spore-forming bacillus. Originally isolated from human intestines and described in 1919,^[1] B. badius was later found in a sample of figs.^[2] Novel enzymes, including a restriction enzyme^[3] and penicillin G acylase, have been purified from this bacterial species.^[4]
