Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Firmicutes. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes (oxygen reliant) or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal or sometimes subterminal swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V.
