Bacillus anthracis is a species in the genus Bacillus. Native to Africa and Asia and Europe, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.

バチルス・チューリンゲンシス(Bacillus thuringiensis)はバシラス科に属するグラム陽性芽胞形成土壌細菌で、昆虫に対して特異的なΔ-エンドトキシン(Cry蛋白)を産生する。世界中の土壌・植物表面・昆虫生息環境に広く分布し、農業分野では化学殺虫剤の安全な代替として広く利用される生物的害虫防除剤の代名詞的存在である。遺伝子工学においてBt遺伝子は害虫抵抗性作物の開発に応用され、食の安全・生物多様性に関わる重要な議論の対象ともなっている。
