Abstract excerpt
Genome-scale engineering enables rational removal of dispensable genes in chassis genomes. Deviating from this approach, we applied greedy accumulation of deletions of large dispensable regions in the Bacillus subtilis genome, yielding a library of 298 strains with genomes reduced up to 1.48 Mb in size. High-throughput physiological phenotyping of these strains confirmed that genome reduction is associated with...
