All 14 strains of B. subtilis can use the following 17 sources of carbon and energy: D-glucose, D-mannose, D-glucosamine, salicin, D-ribose, maltose, sucrose, cellobiose, trehalose, arbutin, starch, mannitol, glycerol, glycerate, pyruvate, fumarate, and L-proline. All 15 strains of B. licheniformis can use the following 41 sources of carbon and energy: D-glucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-fructose, D-glucosamine, alpha-methyl-D-glucoside, beta-methyl-D-glucoside, salicin, D-gluconate, saccharate, D-xylose, L-arabinose, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, maltose, sucrose, cellobiose, melibiose, trehalose, arbutin, raffinose, starch, inulin, mannitol, D-sorbitol, glycerol, glycerate, citrate, L-malate, D-malate, mucate, pyruvate, fumarate, alpha-L-alanine, alpha-D-alanine, asparagine, L-glutamate, L-arginine, DL-ornithine, L-proline, and 4-amino-n-butyrate. The 29 strains form two distinct groups. Group A includes the 15 strains of B. licheniformis and 2 strains of B. subtilis; group B is formed of 11 strains of B. subtilis; the remaining strain of B. subtilis belongs to neither group. Bacillus licheniformis is a more homogeneous species than B. subtilis. The percentage of guanine + cytosine in the DNA of all 29 strains was determined. In the 14 strains of B. subtilis the average is 46.3% +/- 1.5. In the 15 strains of B. licheniformis the average is 46.4% +/- 0.9.
所有14株枯草芽孢杆菌都能利用以下17种碳源和能源：D-葡萄糖、D-甘露糖、D-葡萄糖胺、水杨苷、D-核糖、麦芽糖、蔗糖、纤维二糖、海藻糖、熊果苷、淀粉、甘露醇、甘油、甘油酸、丙酮酸、富马酸和L-脯氨酸。所有15株地衣芽孢杆菌都能利用以下41种碳源和能源：D-葡萄糖、D-半乳糖、D-甘露糖、D-果糖、D-葡萄糖胺、α-甲基-D-葡萄糖苷、β-甲基-D-葡萄糖苷、水杨苷、D-葡萄糖酸、糖二酸、D-木糖、L-阿拉伯糖、L-鼠李糖、D-核糖、麦芽糖、蔗糖、纤维二糖、蜜二糖、海藻糖、熊果苷、棉子糖、淀粉、菊粉、甘露醇、D-山梨醇、甘油、甘油酸、柠檬酸盐、L-苹果酸、D-苹果酸、粘酸、丙酮酸、富马酸、α-L-丙氨酸、α-D-丙氨酸、天冬酰胺、L-谷氨酸、L-精氨酸、DL-鸟氨酸、L-脯氨酸和4-氨基-n-丁酸。这29株菌形成两个不同的组。A组包括15株地衣芽孢杆菌和2株枯草芽孢杆菌；B组由11株枯草芽孢杆菌组成；剩余的1株枯草芽孢杆菌不属于任何一组。地衣芽孢杆菌比枯草芽孢杆菌是一个更具同质性的物种。测定了所有29株菌DNA中鸟嘌呤+胞嘧啶的百分比。在14株枯草芽孢杆菌中，平均值为46.3%±1.5。在15株地衣芽孢杆菌中，平均值为46.4%±0.9。
