Bacillus bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Bacillus sp. bacteria. All the Bacillus bacteria are Gram type positive. They are typically saprotrophs, organisms that feed and grow on dead and decaying organic material. Some Bacillus bacteria can cause infection in humans. These bacteria were cultured from house dust. Magnification: x8,900 at 5x7cm size. x15,000 at 4x5ins.
