The average internal solution concentration of Bacillus Megaterium

[KOOPS95]

So guess what? My Review of Literature is due tomorrow, and I can't find a single freakin' article on the average concentration of internal solutions of bacteria. Any help would be appreciated, as just about my whole science fair experiment hinges on this one thing.

Thankya',

The 5 Clades of Bacillus

Most of the Gram-positive aerobic spore-forming bacteria were placed in the same genus, Bacillus. As a result, there are within the genus at least five clades containing organisms that are only distantly related. There are a number of sequenced Bacillus genomes include that of type strains of B. subtlis168, and the related alkaliphilic B. halodurans, a number pathogenic and nonpathogenic members of the B. cereus group (including B. cereus, B. anthracis, and B. thuringiensis) as well as environmental and industrial strains of B. licheniformis, B. clausii, Oceanobacillus iheyensis, and Geobacillus kaustophilus . Additionally, Sharon Lewis (Oklahoma University) is sequencing the thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus. So far, the sequenced Bacillus group members sequenced have a %G+C content around either 44% (B. subtilis, B. halodurans, B. licheniformis, B. clausii) or 35-36% (B. cereus group). The %G+C content (38-39%) of B. megaterium falls between these two groups. The genetic, biochemical and physiological characterization of B. megaterium is second among the Bacillus only to B. subtilis. These facts alone make B. megaterium a strong candidate for genome sequencing and comparative genomic analysis. Moreover, its successful use for many years as an industrial organism and its proven efficiency as a cloning host will be further enhanced by the availability of the genome sequence.

Is this what you were after? My best advice to you is, in future, don't wait until the last minute to do reports, especially if they involve reviewing literature.

Well, it's not really that I waited to the last minute, it's that I've been searching all week and haven't found a single document on it. It's rather annoying after a while.

And can I get the source of that, or is that from pre-obtained knowledge?

Under sub-section Clades. No, I have no prior knowledge, I just did a quick google search.

I totally agree with the OP

Alright... well at least this forum helped performed a good deed. I'm guessing this isn't needed anymore. Nor do I perceive an urge by members to discuss this further.


Bacteria... eeeeeww!
