Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis Strain ?6.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus subtilis ?6 is a genome-reduced strain that was cured from six prophages and AT-rich islands. This strain is of great interest for biotechnological applications. Here, we announce the full-genome sequence of this strain. Interestingly, the conjugative element ICEBs1 has most likely undergone self-excision in B. subtilis ?6.
