Looks like plenty of information has already been added in by the group. I really liked the lead as it goes over pretty much all the sections present in the main article. Having the basic detail of the general metabolism and what the bacteria does to certain animals are good adds for the lead section. The different types of the bacteria species also specifies how plentiful and diverse these species of bacteria are.

The Ecology section gives great detail about how this bacterium affects the broad scale environment which definitely gives an understanding of how the bacterium can affect processes in a more understandable concept.

The contents of the pathogenesis section can be further developed, but I liked it linked the bacterium to various infections/illnesses, with there surely being plenty more to add about it with further research on specific strains of the bacteria.

Going to the original article itself, I think more visuals could be beneficial to the article itself, showing more perspectives of the bacterium in a more detailed scale, like showing inside the capsule, as well as various colonies taken from different samples.

The article itself is quite extensive already, but sections like prognosis and diseases in aquatic animals could be further added to, especially doing further research on aquatic species and seeing how the bacterium affects other aquatic animals. How about terrestrial non-human animals? Any applicable information there? For the prognosis section, is there any variance on different strains of the bacterium species on how animals recover? Maybe looking for applicable research on that could bulk up the section as well.

The group has added some great relevant information to the article that will certainly add to its quality. With Bacillus cereus encompassing a vast range of species, I am sure there can be plenty new information out in journals that can further add to the quality of this article.
