Construction of a Super-Competent Bacillus subtilis 168 Using the PmtlA-comKS Inducible Cassette

Competence is a physiological state that enables Bacillus subtilis 168 to take up and internalize extracellular DNA. In practice, only a small subpopulation of B. subtilis 168 cells becomes competent when they enter stationary phase. In this study, we developed a new transformation method to improve...
