The complete sequencing and annotation of the genomes of industrially-important Bacillus
species has enhanced our understanding of their properties, and allowed advances in …

Essential genes are absolutely required for the survival of any living entity. Investigation of
essential genes is therefore expected to advance tremendously our understanding of the …

MreB is essential for rod shape in many bacteria. Membrane-associated MreB filaments
move around the rod circumference, helping to insert cell wall in the radial direction to …

Target proteins in biotechnological applications are highly diverse. Therefore, versatile
flexible expression systems for their functional overproduction are required. In order to find …

Recent advances in genome engineering have further widened the gap between our ability
to implement essentially any genetic change and understanding the impact of these …

N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an important amino sugar extensively used in the
healthcare field. In a previous study, the recombinant Bacillus subtilis strain BSGN6‐PxylA …

Bacillus subtilis as an important workhorse that has been widely used to produce enzymes
and metabolites. To broaden its applications, especially in the food and feed industry, we …

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogen that causes opportunistic infections and
a wide variety of diseases. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is frequently isolated as …

Bacillus subtilis has been a model for gram-positive bacteria and it has long been exploited
for industrial and biotechnological applications. However, the availability of facile genetic …

Susceptibility to proteases usually limits the application of phytase. We sought to improve
the pepsin and trypsin resistance of YeAPPA from Yersinia enterocolitica and YkAPPA from …
