Abstract

The Gram-positive bacteriumBacillus subtilisis used as a model organism to study cellular and molecular processes. Here, we announce the complete genomic sequence ofB. subtilisstrain CU1050, derived fromB. subtilisstrain 168. CU1050 has historically been used to study suppressor mutations and phage biology, especially the lysogenic phage SPβ.
