<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Genome Reduction Improves Surfactin Production

<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> ∆6 is a genome-reduced strain derived from the laboratory strain 168 through deletion of six prophages and AT-rich islands. The parental and the genome-reduced strains were edited to restore the capacity to synthesize surfactin. Although the genome deletions are...
