Upcoming events:

• June 2011: The 16th International Conference on Bacilli (aka 6th International Conference on Gram-positive Microorganisms) will take place in lovely Tuscany, Italy. Conference website

News in SubtiWiki:

• August 2010: several new pathway maps including Utilization of other nitrogen sources, Biotin synthesis, Murein recycling, and Protein secretion were uploaded to SubtiPathways
• July 2010: A manually curated functional classification of Bacillus genes can be downloaded here.
• 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)
• February 2010: several new pathway maps including lipid biosynthesis, fatty acid degradation, control of biofilm formation and phosphorelay were uploaded to SubtiPathways
