Journal ArticleDOI

The complete genome sequence of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis

F. Kunst, +154 more
- 20 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: Bacillus subtilis is the best-characterized member of the Gram-positive bacteria, indicating that bacteriophage infection has played an important evolutionary role in horizontal gene transfer, in particular in the propagation of bacterial pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential Bacillus subtilis genes

Kazuto Kobayashi, +98 more
TL;DR: To estimate the minimal gene set required to sustain bacterial life in nutritious conditions, a systematic inactivation of Bacillus subtilis genes was carried out and most genes involved in the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas pathway are essential.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the formation of spontaneous deletions: the importance of short sequence homologies in the generation of large deletions.

TL;DR: Using lacl-Z fusion strains of Escherichia coli, systems that detect deletions of varying lengths are devised and possible mechanisms of deletion formation are discussed and its relationship to the excision of transposable elements is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of surrounding sequence on the suppression of nonsense codons.

TL;DR: Using a lacI-Z fusion system, the efficiency of suppression of nonsense codons in the I gene of Escherichia coli is determined by assaying beta-galactosidase activity and models explaining the effect of the surrounding sequence on suppression efficiency are considered.
