Improvement of alfa-amylase production by modulation of ribosomal component protein S12 in Bacillus subtilis 168
Article Abstract:
Alfa-amylase production by a strain of Bacillus subtilis, as estimated by measuring the enzyme activity, is enhanced by the introduction of mutations that produce streptomycin resistance. It is observed that increase in the activity of the ribosomal protein S12 is responsible for the increase in alfa-amylase production seen in the affected strain.

Novel whole-cell antibiotic biosensors for compound discovery
Article Abstract:
A set of five Bacillus subtilis promoters fused to the firefly luciferase reporter gene suitable for cell based screening is generated. The reporter cells represent novel antibiotic biosensors compatible with high throughput screening.
