β¦ Synopsis
Using a new method to get stable steady state levels of competence in B. subtilis, we have obtained in our experimental conditions 0.1% competence as determined by the frequency of transfection with phage SPP1 DNA. The effect of growth rate (DT) and certain amino acids on the competence levels was also determined.

The influence of COz on the formation of a-amylase by Bacillus subtilis NCIB 8646 growing in continuous and batch cultures was investigated. Different levels of COz examined in the batch cultures stimulated the formation of a-amylase, with the highest activity being obtained using 6% COZ (v/v). The
## Abstract The antibiotic, difficidin, and its hydroxylated derivative oxydifficidin, were synthesized by cultures of __Bacillus subtilis__ grown on a complex medium. Maximum titers of about 200 and 130 mg/L, respectively, were obtained. In fermentations where the dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) wa
