Lysinibacillus manganicus is a spore-forming, Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium notable for its ability to oxidize manganese, a distinctive metabolic trait. It is found in manganese-rich soil and sediment environments, particularly in areas with elevated heavy metal concentrations. This bacterium participates in manganese cycling within its habitat.
