          ABSTRACT

          Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis AS2 that was isolated from heavy crude oil-contaminated soil samples from sludge pits of an Omani heavy-oil field. B. subtilis AS2 was able to biodegrade heavy crude oil and produce biosurfactant. In order to provide a better understanding of the biodegradation mechanism and biosynthesis of metabolites, the B. subtilis AS2 genome was sequenced and compared to those of other B. subtilis strains.

          Bacterial metabolism of long-chain n-alkanes.

          Hans Kristian Kotlar, Trond Ellingsen, Alexander Wentzel … (2007)
          Degradation of alkanes is a widespread phenomenon in nature, and numerous microorganisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, capable of utilizing these substrates as a carbon and energy source have been isolated and characterized. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the understanding of bacterial metabolism of long-chain n-alkanes. Bacterial strategies for accessing these highly hydrophobic substrates are presented, along with systems for their enzymatic degradation and conversion into products of potential industrial value. We further summarize the current knowledge on the regulation of bacterial long-chain n-alkane metabolism and survey progress in understanding bacterial pathways for utilization of n-alkanes under anaerobic conditions.

            Whole-genome sequences of Bacillus subtilis and close relatives.

            Ashlee Earl, Mark Eppinger, W. Fricke … (2012)
            We sequenced four strains of Bacillus subtilis and the type strains for two closely related species, Bacillus vallismortis and Bacillus mojavensis. We report the high-quality Sanger genome sequences of B. subtilis subspecies subtilis RO-NN-1 and AUSI98, B. subtilis subspecies spizizenii TU-B-10(T) and DV1-B-1, Bacillus mojavensis RO-H-1(T), and Bacillus vallismortis DV1-F-3(T).

              Characterization and optimization of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 as an expression host.

              Johannes Kabisch, Andrea Thürmer, Tanno Hübel … (2013)
              The genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 and its suitability as an expression host for recombinant protein production was determined. The comparison of this undomesticated wild type with the widely used laboratory strain B. subtilis 168 reveals a high degree of congruency between the two strains. Differences could only be detected on the level of point mutations or small insertions. B. subtilis ATCC 6051 shows none of the auxotrophies known for B. subtilis 168 and is able to produce polyketides. It exhibits better use of complex media and higher genomic stability through reduced natural competence. Consequently, B. subtilis ATCC 6051 was genetically modified to yield an optimized strain for the production of heterologously expressed proteins under control of an acetoin-inducible promoter.
