The bacterial genome of ''B.subtilis'' is circular and contains only one origin of replication (OriC). In order to increase the efficiency of DNA replication, the DNA is copied in clockwise and anticlockwise directions simultaneously and later ligated together. It has been found that many organisms employ a mechanism to aid in this termination, suggesting an evolutionary advantage in possessing such a system (Griffiths et al 1998). | The bacterial genome of ''B.subtilis'' is circular and contains only one origin of replication (OriC).
