Paper of the month: August 2012
- Houry et al. from the lab of Romain Briandet showed how motile Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria can penetrate a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm and eventually kill the biofilm bacteria with their antibacterial compounds.
- Relevant SubtiWiki pages: Romain Briandet, Stephane Aymerich, biofilm formation, biosynthesis of antibacterial compounds

- Please remember that all members of the Bacillus community are invited to create accounts and to contribute to SubtiWiki!
News in SubtiWiki:
- August 2012: SubtiExpress, the new compagnon of SubtiWiki devoted to gene expression is online! Try it out!
- May 2012: updated Excel files that map all genes to categories and regulons as well as the general updated identity mapping of all genes were uploaded.
- April 2012: Links for expression data under 104 different conditions (based on Nicolas et al., 2012) have been added to the expression section of the individual gene pages
- April 2011: SubtInteract, a presentation of protein-protein interactions in B. subtilis, is online!
- December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
- December 2010: all genes are linked to regulons, and the pages of the regulons provide an overview on all genes that are members of this specific regulon.
- December 2010: all genes/proteins are linked to categories, and the pages of the categories provide an overview on all genes/proteins that are members of this specific category.
- August 2010: several new pathway maps including Utilization of other nitrogen sources, Biotin synthesis, Murein recycling, and Protein secretion were uploaded to SubtiPathways
- March 2010: novel plasmids for the creation of strains expressing proteins with a C-terminal triple FLAG-tag (for simple immunological analysis of the proteins, pGP1087 and pGP1331)
