A Simplified Method for CRISPR-Cas9 Engineering of Bacillus subtilis

Ankita J. Sachla et al.

Summary: This study presents a streamlined method for bacterial strain construction using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, targeting nearly 4,000 Bacillus subtilis strains with an integrated erm resistance cassette. By utilizing a single plasmid with a gRNA targeted to erm, genome editing can be directed to nonessential genes as well as sites near essential genes. This method allows for the facile transfer of mutations and genetic constructions without intermediate cloning steps, making it a rapid and versatile approach for a wide range of genome manipulations.
