Bacillus aminovorans is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped species of bacteria. Samples of this species have been isolated from dust above the Atlantic Ocean.[1] Though phenotypically similar to the species Sporosarcina globispora (formerly Bacillus globisporus), Bacillus marinus, and Bacillus insolitus, B. aminovorans is the only one of these species capable of using sucrose as a sole carbon source.[2]
