From soil to gut: Bacillus cereus and its food poisoning toxins. (2008, background): “…the B. cereus type strain ATCC 14579 and from B. anthracis suggested that their metabolic capacity is more adapted to the use of proteins as a nutrient source than carbohydrates, and furthermore that genes for establishment within a host were conserved (Ivanova et al., 2003; Read et al., 2003).”
Versatile and open software for comparing large genomes (2004, background): “When two species are very similar, such as the two isolates of the Bacillus anthracis Ames strain sequenced at TIGR [ 31- 33 ], then MUMmer is ideally suited for aligning the genomes.”
Molecular basis of bacterial resistance to chloramphenicol and florfenicol. (2004, background): “Database searches also revealed the presence of putative catA genes in Bacillus anthracis strain Ames [87], Deinococcus radiodurans R1 [88], C. acetobutylicum ATCC824 [89], C. tetani E88 [90], Zymomonas mobilis [91], and B. thetaiomicron VPI-5482 [92].”
Increasing biological complexity is positively correlated with the relative genome-wide expansion of non-protein-coding DNA sequences (2003, neutral): “ 2710 5175554 [101] Haemophilus influenzae Rd 0.15 4553 4524893 [102] Bacillus halodurans 0.152 4066 4202353 [95] Xanthomonas campestris 0.157 2708 5076187 [101] Bacillus anthracis 0.159 5842 5370060 [103] Bacillus cereus 0.16 5366 546909 [104] Buchnera aphidicola (Bp) 0.164 553 618000 [105] Staphyl”
Low Concentrations of Bile Salts Induce Stress Responses and Reduce Motility in Bacillus cereus ATCC 14570 (2007, methodology): “The chip was designed in a composite manner and contained 7,787 features from B. anthracis strains Ames and A2012 ( 58 , 59) and B. cereus strain ATCC 14579 (38).”
Linking pangenomes and metagenomes: the Prochlorococcus metapangenome (2018, background): “Cultivation-based approaches have paved the way for the emergence of powerful strategies to identify core and accessory genes shared between closely related genomes through pangenomics ( Read et al., 2003 ; Tettelin et al., 2005 ; Zhu et al., 2015 ).”
