Bacillus subtilis cloning host

Effective cloning systems are available for a variety of bacterial hosts, including Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces spp., and Agrobacter tumefaciens. Cloning systems have also been developed for eukaryotic hosts such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mammalian cells in tissue culture, and plant cells. 

In the future the use of vectors to clone foreign DNA is certain to be extended to other host/vector partners. The value of less pathogenic bacterial hosts such as Bacillus subtilis has recently been reviewed. Plant viruses as vectors for higher plants hold much promise for the insertion of characters such as disease resistance and nitrogen fixation into plants of agricultural importance. ...
