Abstract excerpt
The strain of Bacillus subtilis 168 used in laboratories in Japan was distributed in the 1990s when the sequencing consortium commenced operations. After 20 years of use of B. subtilis 168 in many laboratories, observations of variations in growth phenotypes have been reported. In this study, to uncover laboratory-specific variations of B. subtilis 168 strains in Japan, we re-sequenced 11 B. subtilis 168 strains...
