Species code:	BACAN
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 1392) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacillus anthracis is an endospore-forming bacterium that causes inhalational anthrax. During the course of the disease, endospores are taken up by alveolar macrophages where they germinate in phagolysosomal compartment. Vegetative cells then escape from the macrophage, eventually infecting blood.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BACAN entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 5491 (701 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 4790 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
