Bacillus subtillus will test positive when performing a VP and Citrate test.
Also, bacillus cereus is much more motile. It isn't as dependable as the chemical tests, but the cereus colonies will appear wispy and more widespread on an agar plate than those of subtilis.

What does role morphology play in distinguishing among species of bacteria?
Based on morphology of bacteria, bacteria can classified as one of three group of coccus, bacillus, or spirillum. A coccus is a sphere. A bacillus is a rod-shaped bacterium. A spirillum is a long cell with one or more curves or coils.
What are four types of bacteria?
AIDS, herpes, and syphilis. these are the three different types of bacteria that was chosen by symptoms.
When bacteria are spiral shaped they are called?
spirillum
What are the three types of bacterial shapes?
Coccus (plural cocci): circular or spherical Bacillus (plural bacilli): rod-shaped Spirillum (plural spirilla): spiral shaped, long and thin.
What are the three basic cell shapes found in bacteria?
* bacillus (pl. bacilli) = rod-shaped * coccus (pl. cocci sounds like cox-eye) = spherical * spirillum (pl. spirilla) = spiral

What do the 3 main shapes of bacteria look like?
Coccus, which are spheres, bacillus, which are rods, and spirillum, which are spiral-shaped
Three basic shapes of bacteria?
The three basic shapes of bacteria are spherical, rod and spiral. Coccus bacteria is spherical in shape, Bacillus is rod-shaped and Spirillum is spiral-shaped.
Can you give me 5 examples of bacteria?
Sometimes it is hard to remember what is or is not a bacteria. 5 examples of bacteria are coccus, spirillum, vibrio, spirochete, and bacillus.

When bacteria are spiral shaped they are called?
spirillum
What are three shapes of bacteria?
Coccus or cocci: round - spherical Bacillus or Bacilli: Rod Spirillum or Spirilla: rigid, wavy shape Pleomorphism: condition of varying shapes
Is cholera a coccus bacillus or spirillum?
Vibrio cholera, the bacterium that causes the disease "cholera" is not a Coccus, Bacillus, or Spirillum. being of the genus Vibrio, it is a Gram-negative curved/straight rod, motile by means of monotrichous flagellation (a single polar flagellum) for a more complete description of the Vibrio genus, see Dr. Kenneth Todar, PhD's page on http://www.textbookofbacteriology.net/cholera.html It should explain many of the traits common to genus Vibrio.
What is a spherical prokaryote?
A spherical prokaryote is called coccus (cocci is plural), rod shaped are bacillus (bacilli is plural) and spiral/ cork screw is called spirillum (spirilla is plural). - April
