Description
The bacilli have had a long history in terms of their utilization in basic research and for the production of useful industrial products. The ability of many bacilli to withstand high temperatures, the absence of deleterious metabolic side-products and their ability to produce large amounts of extracellular proteins have made bacilli a favourite organism for industrial use. This work discusses the recent advances in understanding gene expression which are opening new avenues for using the bacilli as organisms for research as well as for industrial purposes.
