Dear Valued BGSC Customers:
The BGSC has transitioned to a credit-card-only payment platform.
After reviewing your order, you will receive a quote with a link to our secured credit card portal to make payment. Once payment is received, your order will be processed and shipped.
Please know that we highly value your business and are continuing to offer the current inventory of strains, as well as expand the strain collection to provide an even more diverse strain portfolio.
We no longer accept purchase orders, checks, or wire payments after September 30, 2024. In addition, the BGSC subscription option is no longer available. For those customers with existing subscriptions, we will honor the subscription through the end of its term.
If your organization has tax-exempt status, you must submit the appropriate documentation (i.e., sales tax exemption document) when placing your order. This can be sent via email as an attachment to ASC-microbioservice@osu.edu.
Thanks and we look forward to serving you soon!
New Pricing Information
The BGSC extends its sincere gratitude to all our patrons for their steadfast support. Beginning in July 2024, we will be adjusting the rates for our strains and subscription services. These price increases are essential to maintaining the quality of our services and business operations. The new prices are reflected on the BGSC order page. We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support as we strive to serve you better.

Introducing new 6S RNA-free B. subtilis strain SG7
Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Mark Foster's lab at the Ohio State University, the BGSC has acquired a new addition to our collection. The BGSC would like to introduce the availability of a new 6S RNA-free B. subtilis strain. This strain, SG7, developed by Roland Hartmann's lab at Institut fur Pharmazeutische Chemie, Philipps-Universitat Marburg, is now available. This strain was developed to express His-tagged RNAP but with deletions of the two 6S RNA genes. This allows for ease in preparing the His-tagged, 6S RNA-free sigmaA-RNAP holoenzyme. This strain is now available under the accession number 1A1644 in the online catalog.
Thank you once again to the Foster lab!
