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

Genes concerned with synthesis of poly(glycerol phosphate), the essential teichoic acid in Bacillus subtilis strain 168, are organized in two divergent transcription units

TL;DR: Genes concerned with synthesis of poly(glycerol phosphate), poly(groP), an essential cell wall polymer in B. subtilis 168, are organized in two divergently transcribed operons denoted tagABC and tagDEF, and nucleotide sequence analysis indicates that three of these six genes encode extremely basic polypeptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus subtilis temperate bacteriophage SPβc2

TL;DR: The Bacillus subtilis 168 chromosomal region extending from 184 degrees to 195 degrees, corresponding to prophage SPbeta, has been completely sequenced using DNA of the thermoinducible SPbetac2 mutant, and this 134416 bp segment comprises 187 putative ORFs which, according to their orientation, were grouped into three clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI

The essential nature of teichoic acids in Bacillus subtilis as revealed by insertional mutagenesis

TL;DR: Insertional mutagenesis, using integrational plasmids carrying relevant fragments from the tag region, provides strong evidence that biosynthesis of polyglycerol phosphate [poly(groP], so far largely considered as a dispensable polymer, is in fact essential for growth.
