Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis Strain CGMCC 12426, an Efficient Poly-γ-Glutamate Producer

Abstract

Bacillus subtilis CGMCC 12426 is an efficient producer of poly-γ-glutamate with regular stereochemistry. Here, the complete genome sequence of B. subtilis CGMCC 12426 is presented, which may facilitate the design of rational strategies for further strain improvements with industrial potential.

pLS20 is the archetype of a new family of conjugative plasmids harboured byBacillusspecies

“…Unnamed plasmids were named using the first letter of the genus and the first two letters of the species plus the name of the strain; for simplicity we also use a shortened name (C1-C15) as indicated in Table 1 . Plasmids C2 to C10 ( 81 , 82 , 83 ) were highly similar to pLS20 but three (C1, C2, C8) were anomalously large. These three large plasmids contain duplications that were defined by repeated sequences (see Supplementary Figure S1 ), which could have resulted from assembly artefacts and so were not included in the comparisons and phylogenetic analyses.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis TLO3, Isolated from Olive Tree Rhizosphere Soil

“…Since then, B. subtilis has become one of the best-understood prokaryotes in terms of molecular biology and cell biology because of its relatively large genome and genetic amenability ( 2 ). With the advent of next-generation sequencing, more and more complete genome sequences of B. subtilis are being reported ( 3 – 6 ), thus deepening our understanding of this species.…”
