<p><i>B. subtilis</i> is one of the best-studied gram-positive microorganism, and a model bacterium for studying bacterial differentiation (e.g. endospore formation) and phenotypic heterogeneity. Its ability to become naturally competent makes <i>B. subtilis</i> an organism which is easily accessible for genetic manipulation. The GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status and the secretory capacity made <i>B. subtilis</i> a preferred host of choice for big scale production of secreted proteins, such as lipases, proteases and amylases, highlighting the industrial relevance of this bacterium.</p></figcaption> | <p><i>B. subtilis</i> is one of the best-studied gram-positive microorganism, and a model bacterium for studying bacterial differentiation (e.g. endospore formation) and phenotypic heterogeneity.
