Bacillus halodurans

Bacillus halodurans is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive, motile and spore-forming bacterium found in soil. This is an ammonia loving bacteria so you find them in places with high concentrations. In a genomic comparison with Bacillus subtilis, B. halodurans strain C-125 - originally an unclassified Bacillus strain[1] - was found to contain unique genes and sigma factors that may have aided its adaptation to more alkaline environments.
