RESUMEN
The taxonomic position of two isolates, SGD-V-76T and SGD-M-37, isolated from sediment sample of Veraval coast, India, was examined using the polyphasic taxonomic approach. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of these two organisms are typical of the genus Priestia. The phylogenetic analyses performed using almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that the isolate belongs to the Bacillaceae family, and forms a clade within the cluster containing Priestia flexus MTCC 2909T, Priestia aryabhattai B8W22T and Priestia megaterium KCTC 3007T and both strains showed highest similarity of > 98% with 3-29 nucleotide differences. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the G + C content of strains was 37.5-37.7 mol%. However, the DNA-DNA hybridization and the phenotypic characteristics revealed that, the strain SGD-V-76T and strain SGD-M-37 are similar species but different from any known Priestia species with ANI values of 79.2, 79.3 and 79.2 and the dDDH values of 17.7, 17.8 and 18.0% respectively. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and the results of biochemical and physiological tests, and genomic data strain SGD-V-76T was clearly distinguished from closely related members of the Priestia genus. Based on the above data analysis strain SGD-V-76T (= DSM28242T = KCTC33802T = CIP111056T = NCIM5510T) represents a novel species of the genus Priestia, and we propose the name Priestia veravalensis sp. nov.

In the present study, a cost-effective, robust Microbioreactor based production optimization of levan like exopolysaccharide from marine Bacillus sp. SGD-03 was analysed. FE-SEM analysis has showed the significant fibrillar structure of EPS. Size exclusion chromatography and other analytical data revealed that, produced EPS has a molecular weight of 1.0 × 104 Da and is composed of fructose monosaccharide with hydroxyl, carbonyl, and ether groups. The backbone structure of EPS has a branching pattern of ß-(2,6) linkages which confirms the similarity with available levan like polymers. The cost-effective media composition for levan production was demonstrated. The maximum yield of crude levan obtained was 123.9 g/L by response surface methodology using robust BioLector Pro Microbioreactor, and same has been validated with shake flask, 1 L and 10 L pilot-scale fermentation.
