organism: Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168
manufacture_protocol: A total of 4104 B.subtilis genes were selected from the SubtiList database, of which 2230 were known.
  Three probes of a length of 60mer were designed for each of the 4104 genes using Agilent eArray 5.0 program according to the manufacturer's recommendations (https://earray.chem.agilent.com/earray/). These lead to 12312 probes with prefix 'CUST_'.
  Another 108 probes (of a 45mer or 46mer length) were designed for 108 B.subtilis genes with other methods and they were spotted on the array in varied replicate numbers, resulting a total of 2896 spots for such 'Bsu####' probes.
  A total of 15,744 features (15,208 non-controls and 536 controls) were spotted on each grid of the microarray.
  One microarray contains 8 grids of identical components.
  
  *** A different version of this platform with the Agilent feature nubmers in the ID column is assigned accession number GPL8896.
