Codon usage for 21 Bacillus subtilis chromosomal genes was analyzed and found to be unusual compared with that of Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. All codons are used more or less equally. The unusual codon usage in B. subtilis may be related to the unique organization of its tRNA genes.
对21个枯草芽孢杆菌染色体基因的密码子使用情况进行了分析,发现与大肠杆菌或酿酒酵母相比,其密码子使用情况不同寻常。所有密码子的使用或多或少是均等的。枯草芽孢杆菌中这种不寻常的密码子使用情况可能与其tRNA基因的独特组织方式有关。
