Bacillus pseudofirmus is a facultative anaerobe bacterium.[1] It is a gram positive, alkaliphilic and alkalitolerant, aerobic endospore-forming bacterium.
In 2019, it was found in a hyperalkaline spring in Zambales (Philippines) a bacterial consortium of a strain of Bacillus pseudofirmus with Bacillus agaradhaerens that can biodegrade LDPE plastic.[2]
This species has been recently transferred into the genus Alkalihalobacillus. [3] The correct nomenclature is Alkalihalobacillus pseudofirmus.
