Abstract
The Bacillus subtilis 168 genome is being used to clone DNA segments, particularly unmarked DNA segments between the two available clones. To facilitate this cloning, a counter selection method was developed in which loss of a cI repressor gene rendered the host strain resistant to neomycin. This method is promoted to use the B. subtilis genome as a general cloning vehicle.
