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

Condition-Dependent Transcriptome Reveals High-Level Regulatory Architecture in Bacillus subtilis

TL;DR: The transcriptomes of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a wide range of environmental and nutritional conditions that the organism might encounter in nature are reported, offering an initial understanding of why certain regulatory strategies may be favored during evolution of dynamic control systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a DNA Nonhomologous End-Joining Complex in Bacteria

TL;DR: These data provide evidence that many bacteria possess a DNA DSB repair apparatus that shares many features with the NHEJ system of eukarya and suggest that this DNA repair pathway arose before the prokaryotic and eukaryotic lineages diverged.
Journal ArticleDOI

Base Composition Skews, Replication Orientation, and Gene Orientation in 12 Prokaryote Genomes

TL;DR: Base composition skews measured at third codon positions probably reflect mutational biases, whereas those measured over all bases in a sequence can be strongly affected by protein considerations due to the tendency in some bacteria for genes to be transcribed in the same direction that they are replicated.
