What is penibacillus?

Penibacillus is a genus of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria. They typically grow in aerobic conditions and produce endospores. Penibacillus species are commonly found in soil and plant roots, but they can also be found in several other environments, including water, animals, and humans. Some Penibacillus species are considered beneficial, as they can aid in plant growth and soil health, while others can cause illness in humans and animals. These bacteria have been studied for their potential use in bioremediation, biotechnology, and medicine.
