We're all taught that bacteria are scary and dangerous when this is not the case. Yes, like in everyday life, there are the bad guys, but there are also good ones! Let me introduce you to my new friend, and hopefully yours too, Bacillus Subtilis. A powerhouse of an organism! improving soil health? enhancing nutrient cycling? promoting plant growth? Bacillus Subtilis does it all!
This is Bacillus subtilis, commonly known as hay bacillus. It belongs to the family Bacillaceae, phylum Bacillota and genus Bacillus. the links below give more details about this wonderful bacteria.

Like any other organism our friend Bacillus subtilis also faces some challenges with environmental changes. Read this article to find out more.
I really found Bacillus subtilis so interesting because of how this little organism can do so much for the environment it lives in. Promoting plant growth and biological pest control is absolutely amazing. Dynamite does come in small packages.
