Fig. 1From: Characterization of genome-reduced Bacillus subtilis strains and their application for the production of guanosine and thymidineCell autolysis, sporulation ratios and transformation efficiencies of genome-reduced strains and their parental strain. a Cell autolysis assay. Autolysis was represented by the ratio of the OD600 at the indicated time-points to the corresponding initial culture OD600. b Sporulation ratios. c Transformation efficiencies. All experiments were performed in triplicateBack to article page
