Gram-positive cocci or bacilli have more specific nutritional requirements. Several bacteria lack some synthetic abilities and require various amino acids, vitamins and accessory factors for growth. These have a high internal osmotic pressure. However, these characteristics do not always hold true:

Bacillus (Latin "stick") is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum Bacillota, with 266 named species.The term is also used to describe the shape (rod) of other so-shaped bacteria; and the plural Bacilli is the name of the class of bacteria to which this genus belongs. Bacillus species can be either obligate aerobes which are dependent on oxygen, or …
