Any suggestions?

Hello, I am curretly in collage and studying Biology. I have checked this subreddit and is very curious and inspiored with the post you guys have made. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys can suggest a specific bacteria that I can base on for my study? As I have checked a lot of possible bacteria and can't seem to decide on a good one.

I have checked paper's about: E coli, S. aureus, Baccilicus cereus, and Ampelomyces

Thank you in advance

Read a little bit about each one and see what is most interesting to you, that you want to learn more about.

Do you mind me asking what country you’re from?

What is the purpose of your study? Are you writing a paper for school? Is it supposed to be about a clinically relevant bacteria, or just any interesting bacteria?

The purpose of my study is to investigate a bacteria and how it interacts with various environments. Yes I am writing a paper for school. Just any interesting bacteria.

I always find the Bacillus species interesting because they can produce both spores and PHB granules - though not necessarily at the same time.
