Genome Announc. 2014 Jul 3;2(4):e00663-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00663-14.

Abstract

The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is widely used for studies of cellular and molecular processes. We announce the complete genomic sequences of strain AG174, our stock of the commonly used strain JH642, and strain AG1839, a derivative that contains a mutation in the replication initiation gene dnaB and a linked Tn917.
