Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a pre‐eminent model organism for the study and application of protein expression and secretion, owing to its robust secretory pathways and genetic tractability. Its ...

A Université de Montréal study has found a previously unknown mechanism in bacterial reproduction that could be attacked by future antibiotics. Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two: they form a ...

A Bacillus subtilis probiotic demonstrated the ability to wipe out most Staphylococcus aureus colonization without altering the gut microbiome, a placebo-controlled phase II study conducted in ...

Defining the complete set of genes required for life offers revealing insights into cell physiology. In the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Kobayashi and ...

Researchers show how the rod-shaped bacteria Bacillus subtilis maintains its precise diameter while growing end to end. The slender, rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis is one of the best-studied bacteria in ...

Escherichia coli is widely considered the most cost-effective bacterial system for recombinant protein expression. Consequently, it is broadly used. Nonetheless, it has its limitations as an ...
