Spores and vegetative cells of phenotypically and genetically diverse Bacillus cereus sensu lato are common bacteria in fresh water of northeastern Poland.

Gram-positive rods Bacillus cereus sensu lato (sl) are common in natural habitats and food products. It is believed that they are restricted to spores; however, their ecology in aquatic habitats is still poorly investigated. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess the rain-dependent fluctuations in the concentration of B. cereus sl vegetative cells and spores, with evaluation of their phylogenetic and population...
