RESUMO

A combined chemical-bacterial process was developed to convert vegetable straw waste to high value antifungal iturins. Straws from three widely cultivated vegetable (cucumber, tomato and pepper) were evaluated as feedstocks for iturin production. Microwave assisted hydrolysis with very dilute acid (0.2% w/w H2SO4) achieved efficient reducing sugar recovery. The high glucose concentration in non-detoxified hydrolysate from pepper straw facilitated the optimal growth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain Cas02 and stimulated the production of iturin. The fermentation parameters were optimised to enhance the iturin production efficiency. The obtained fermentation extract was further purified using macroporous adsorption resin, resulting in an iturin-rich extract that exhibited strong antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata with an IC50 of 176.44 µg/mL. Each iturin homologue was identified using NMR. Overall, 1.58 g iturin-rich extract containing 164.06 mg/g iturins was obtained from 100 g pepper straw, illustrating the great potential of valorising pepper straw via this process.

RESUMO

The present work reports the biobleaching effect on OPEFB pulp upon utilisation of extracellular xylano-pectinolytic enzymes simultaneously yielded from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ADI2. The impacts of different doses, retention times, pH, and temperatures required for the pulp biobleaching process were delineated accordingly. Here, the OPEFB pulp was subjected to pre-treatment with xylano-pectinolytic enzymes generated from the same alkalo-thermotolerant isolate that yielded those of higher quality. Remarkable enhanced outcomes were observed across varying pulp attributes: for example, enzyme-treated pulp treated to chemical bleaching sequence generated improved brightness of 11.25%. This resulted in 11.25% of less chlorine or chemical consumption required for obtaining pulp with optical attributes identical to those generated via typical chemical bleaching processes. Ultimately, the reduced consumption of chlorine would minimise the organochlorine compounds found in an effluent, resulting in a lowered environmental effect of paper-making processes overall as a consequence. This will undoubtedly facilitate such environmentally-friendly technology incorporation in the paper pulp industry of today.

RESUMO

Dye-decolorization is one of the most important steps in dye-polluted wastewater treatment. The dye-decolorization bacteria were isolated from active sludge collected from wastewater treating pond of a dyeing and printing plant using serial dilution method. Among the 44 bacteria isolates from the active sludge, the strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens W36 was found to have strong ability in dye-decolorization. The effects of carbon source, nitrogen sources, C/N, metal ions, temperature, pH, and rotation speed for dye-decolorization were investigated. The optimum decolorization conditions were that the strain was grown in enriched mineral salt medium (EMSM) using maltose 1 g/L, (NH4)2SO4 1 g/L as carbon and nitrogen source respectively, supplemented with 100 mg/L different dyes (pH 6.0), at 30 °C, 200 rpm from 48 to 96 h. The bacteria could aerobically decolorize dyes, such as Coomassie brilliant blue (95.42%), Bromcresol purple (93.34%), Congo red (72.37%) and Sarranine (61.7%), within 96 h. The dyes decolorization products were analyzed by ultra-violet and visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy before and after decolorization, which indicated that the four dyes were significantly degraded by the strain. The results indicated that the bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens W36 could be used in dye-polluted wastewater treatment.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize marine bacterial strains capable of converting selenite to elemental selenium with the formation of Se nanoparticles (SeNPs). For the first time, a novel marine strain belonging to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (GenBank accession no. MK392020) was isolated from the coast of the Caspian Sea and characterized based on its ability for transformation of selenite to SeNPs under aerobic conditions. The preliminary formation of SeNPs was confirmed via color changes and the products characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) together with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis showed the presence of the spherical SeNPs on both the surface of the bacterial biomass and in the supernatant solution. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis showed the SeNPs to have an average particle size (Z-average) around 45.4-68.3 nm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies substantiated the amorphous nature of the biosynthesized SeNPs. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) studies of the SeNPs indicated typical proteinaceous and lipid-related bands as capping agents on the SeNPs. Different effective parameters corresponding the yield of SeNPs by B. amyloliquefaciens strain SRB04 were optimized under resting cell strategy. Results showed that the optimal process conditions for SeNP production were 2 mM of selenite oxyanion, 20 g/L of cell biomass, and 60 h reaction time. The synthesized SeNPs had a remarkable antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus compared with chloramphenicol as a broad-spectrum antibiotic.

RESUMO

AIMS: We aimed to purify an antimicrobial protein from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FS6 culture supernatant, verify its antimicrobial activity against Fusarium solani and evaluate its biocontrol potential for ginseng root rot. METHODS AND RESULTS: The antimicrobial protein was purified from FS6 culture supernatant using ammonium sulphate precipitation, anion exchange and gel chromatography. Based on mass spectrometry results, the purified protein was identified as an antimicrobial protein of the LCI family and was designated APC2 . The APC2 recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli (BL21) significantly inhibited F. solani and decreased the infection and spread of F. solani in ginseng root. An overexpressing APC2 strain FS6-APC2 was constructed and shown to have enhanced antimicrobial activity compared to the wild-type strain FS6. CONCLUSIONS: The APC2 protein shows strong antimicrobial activity against F. solani, reduces the incidence and severity of ginseng root rot caused by F. solani and exhibits a great biocontrol potential. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study reports the inhibitory activity of APC2 protein (LCI family) against F. solani and its protective efficacy on ginseng root rot. These findings provide a scientific basis for future research on the biocontrol mechanism, as well as the development and application of FS6.

RESUMO

1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) has been known for its functional properties, such as its anti-hyperglycemic and anti-obesity activities. Previously, we developed a sustainable procedure to produce culture broth powder (CBP) containing DNJ using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AS385 and demonstrated its regulatory effect on the blood glucose and lipid parameters in C57BL/6J mice. The present study was aimed to determine the molecular mechanism underlying the physiological effects of CBP intake in different concentrations (low, medium and high) towards the development of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders. Ten-week consumption of CBP-supplemented diets ameliorated HFD-induced adiposity, glucose intolerance, and reduced insulin sensitivity in C57BL/6J mice. To investigate how these physiological events could take place, we analyzed the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and insulin signaling in epididymal white adipose tissue and found that CBP had a regulatory effect on the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism (Pparγ, Srebf1c, Acc, Scd, Hsl, Lpl), adiponectin secretion (Foxo1 and Sirt1), and insulin signaling (Irs1 and Akt2). Next, we confirmed that DNJ acted as the main active component in CBP and detected the dose-dependent DNJ uptake in vital metabolic tissues, which may explain the dose-dependent alteration in the metabolic parameters and related gene expressions following the CBP intake in this study. Collectively, our results suggested that DNJ intake in the form of CBP prevented the progression of HFD-induced metabolic disorders through regulation of adipocyte gene expression involved in lipid metabolism and insulin signaling.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rapeseed cake (RSC), as the intermediate by-product of oil extraction from the seeds of Brassica napus, can be converted into rapeseed meal (RSM) by solvent extraction to remove oil. However, compared with RSM, RSC has been rarely used as a raw material for microbial fermentation, although both RSC and RSM are mainly composed of proteins, carbohydrates and minerals. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using untreated low-cost RSC as nitrogen source to produce the valuable cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic iturin A using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CX-20 in submerged fermentation. Especially, the effect of oil in RSC on iturin A production and the possibility of using lipases to improve the iturin A production were analyzed in batch fermentation. RESULTS: The maximum production of iturin A was 0.82 g/L at the optimal initial RSC and glucose concentrations of 90 and 60 g/L, respectively. When RSC was substituted with RSM as nitrogen source based on equal protein content, the final concentration of iturin A was improved to 0.95 g/L. The production of iturin A was further increased by the addition of different lipase concentrations from 0.1 to 5 U/mL into the RSC medium for simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation. At the optimal lipase concentration of 0.5 U/mL, the maximal production of iturin A reached 1.14 g/L, which was 38.15% higher than that without any lipase supplement. Although rapeseed oil and lipase were firstly shown to have negative effects on iturin A production, and the effect would be greater if the concentration of either was increased, their respective negative effects were reduced when used together. CONCLUSIONS: Appropriate relative concentrations of lipase and rapeseed oil were demonstrated to support optimal iturin A production. And simultaneous hydrolysis with lipase and fermentation was an effective way to produce iturin A from RSC using B. amyloliquefaciens CX-20.

RESUMO

Soil microbial communities interact with roots, affecting plant growth and nutrient acquisition. In the present study, we aimed to decipher the effects of the inoculants Trichoderma harzianum T-22, Pseudomonas sp. DSMZ 13134, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 or Pseudomonas sp. RU47 on the rhizosphere microbial community and their beneficial effects on tomato plants grown in moderately low phosphorous soil under greenhouse conditions. We analyzed the plant mass, inoculant colony forming units and rhizosphere communities on 15, 22, 29 and 43 days after sowing. Selective plating showed that the bacterial inoculants had a good rhizocompetence and accelerated shoot and root growth and nutrient accumulation. 16S rRNA gene fingerprints indicated changes in the rhizosphere bacterial community composition. Amplicon sequencing revealed that rhizosphere bacterial communities from plants treated with bacterial inoculants were more similar to each other and distinct from those of the control and the Trichoderma inoculated plants at harvest time, and numerous dynamic taxa were identified. In conclusion, likely both, inoculants and the rhizosphere microbiome shifts, stimulated early plant growth mainly by improved spatial acquisition of available nutrients via root growth promotion. At harvest, all tomato plants were P-deficient, suggesting a limited contribution of inoculants and the microbiome shifts to the solubilization of sparingly soluble soil P.

RESUMO

Lipopeptides (such as iturin, fengycin, and surfactin) from Bacillus possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities and have important application in agriculture and pharmaceuticals. Although unremitting efforts have been devoted to improve lipopeptide production by designing gene regulatory circuits or optimizing fermentation process, little attention has been paid to utilizing multi-omics for systematically mining core genes and proteins during the bacterial growth cycle. Here, lipopeptide bacillomycin Lb from new Bacillus amyloliquefaciens X030 was isolated and first found to have anticancer activity in various cancer cells (such as SMMC-7721 and MDA-MB-231). A comprehensive genomic and growth proteomic analysis of X030 revealed bacillomycin Lb biosynthetic gene cluster, key enzymes and potential regulatory proteins (PerR, PhoP, CcpA, and CsfB), and novel links between primary metabolism and bacillomycin Lb production in X030. The antitumor activity of the fermentation supernatant supplemented with amino acids (such as glutamic acid) and sucrose was significantly increased, verifying the role of key metabolic switches in the metabolic regulatory network. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis confirmed that 7 differential expressed genes exhibited a positive correlation between changes at transcriptional and translational levels. The study not only will stimulate the deeper and wider antitumor study of lipopeptides but also provide a comprehensive database, which promotes an in-depth analysis of pathways and networks for complex events in lipopeptide biosynthesis and regulation and gives great help in improving the yield of bacillomycin Lb (media optimization, genetic modification, or pathway engineering).

RESUMO

The present study was conducted with the aim to investigate the ameliorative effects of a new soybean product (cheonggukjang) fermented with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SCGB1 (SFBA) in atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Visual evaluation of AD induction in the mice indicated the remarkable control of SFBA in reducing the pathological severity of AD-like skin lesions reported as the SCORAD score of AD clinical symptoms. The results revealed that SFBA reduced dorsal skin and epidermal thickness to a similar extent with prednisolone. Further analysis revealed the dominance of SFBA in restraining mast cell infiltration in the dermis; immunoglobulin-E expression in serum; and TH2 IL-4 cytokine and itch-related IL-31 cytokine in the mice skin and serum. SFBA also suppressed scratching behaviours in mice induced by compound 48/80. Further histological findings also revealed the alleviation of collagen fiber deposition in dermal skin of the AD mice model. These actions of SFBA were examined to be mediated by its suppression of the phosphorylation activation of key signalling molecules such as NF-kappaB and MAPK responsible for the induction of cytokine production. Thus, SFBA can be considered as a promising functional food for managing clinical, histological and immunological spectra associated with AD.

RESUMO

This study evaluated U(VI) biosorption properties by the resistant bacterium, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which was isolated from the soils with residual radionuclides. The effect of biosorption factors (uptake time, pH, ionic concentration, biosorbent dosage and temperature) on U(VI) removal was determined by batch experiments. The uptake processes were characterized by using SEM, FTIR, and XPS. The experimental data of U(VI) biosorption were fitted by the pseudo-second-order. The maximum uptake capacity was 179.5 mg/g at pH 6.0 by Langmuir model. The thermodynamic results: ΔGо, ΔHо and ΔSо for uptake processes were calculated as -6.359 kJ/mol, 14.20 kJ/mol and 67.19 J/mol/K, respectively. The results showed that the biosorption of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens will be an ideal method to remove radionuclides.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Raspberry and strawberry are high value-added food products that can contribute to human health due to the abundance of polyphenols that they contain. Polyphenols are secondary metabolites and therefore devoted to improve plant adaptation, these polyphenol profile can be induced applying different stimuli, such as certain bacteria. The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to evaluate the ability of two bacterial strains to modulate secondary metabolisms in strawberry and raspberry, and (ii) to explore the ability of plant extracts to modify enzyme activities related to metabolic syndrome. RESULTS: Total phenolic and anthocyanin content was higher in strawberries than in raspberries, despite similar antioxidant capacities. Strawberry extracts performed better on the tested enzymes, except on α-glucosidase inhibition capacity. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens stabilized the effects of extracts at different points in time, and Pseudomonas fluorescens modified plant metabolism after more inoculations (spring) in both species, improving the effects of raspberry extracts on α-glucosidase, COX1, and COX2, and of strawberry on α-amylase and COX1. CONCLUSION: It is good to include these two fruits in the diet because they improve the activity of metabolic syndrome-related enzymes. Applying either strain during plant growth modifies the bioactive profile of the plants, improving the effects of the fruit extracts on human health. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

RESUMO

AIM: Assessment of biological control of Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata using crude lipopeptide extracts (CLEs) of two Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strains (SS-12.6 and SS-38.4) and one Bacillus pumilus strain (SS-10.7). METHODS AND RESULTS: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CLEs and their combinations against the pathogen and potential interaction between the extracts were determined in vitro. The most effective antibacterial activity was achieved with the CLE from B. amyloliquefaciens SS-12.6, with an MIC value of 0·63 mg ml-1 . Interactions between CLE combinations were mostly indifferent. The biocontrol potential of CLEs, mixtures of CLEs, and cell culture of B. amyloliquefaciens SS-12.6 was tested on sugar beet plants inoculated with P. syringae pv. aptata P53. The best result in inhibiting the appearance of tissue necrosis (up to 92%) was achieved with B. amyloliquefaciens SS-12.6 cell culture. CONCLUSION: This work demonstrated significant biocontrol potential of the CLE and cell culture of B. amyloliquefaciens SS-12.6 which successfully suppress leaf spot disease severity on sugar beet plants. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The findings of biocontrol of sugar beet emerging pathogen will contribute to growers in terms of alternative disease control management. This study represents first assessment of biological control of P. syringae pv. aptata.

RESUMO

A novel water-soluble flavonoid with good anti-bacterial activities, naringenin-6″-succl-7-O-glucoside (7-SGN), was synthesised. It was biotransformed from naringenin by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FJ18 in aqueous miscible organic media, and characterised by LC-MS and NMR analysis. The solubility of 7-SGN in water was approximately 102 times higher than that of naringenin. These results demonstrated that both the water solubility and the anti-bacterial activity of 7-SGN were significantly improved.

RESUMO

An endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain called C5, able to produce biosurfactant lipopeptides with a broad antibacterial activity spectrum, has been isolated from the roots of olive tree. Optimization of antibacterial activity was undertaken using grape seed flour (GSF) substrate at 0.02, 0.2, and 2% (w/v) in M9 medium. Strain C5 exhibited optimal growth and antimicrobial activity (MIC value of 60 µg/ml) when incubated in the presence of 0.2% GSF while lipopeptide production culminated at 2% GSF. Thin layer chromatography analysis of lipopeptide extract revealed the presence of at least three active spots at Rf 0.35, 0.59, and 0.72 at 0.2% GSF. Data were similar to those obtained in LB-rich medium. MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of lipopeptide extract obtained from 0.2% GSF substrate revealed the presence of surfactin and bacillomycin D. These results show that GSF could be used as a low-cost culture medium supplement for optimizing the production of biosurfactants by strain C5.

RESUMO

Four hundred and fifty bacteria were evaluated for antagonistic activity against bacterial soft rot of potato caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum sp strain II16. A strain Ar10 exhibiting potent antagonist activity has been identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the basis of biochemical and molecular characterization. Cell free supernatant showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against human and phytopathogenic bacteria in the range of 10-60 AU/mL. Incubation of P. carotovorum cells with increasing concentrations of the antibacterial compound showed a killing rate of 94.8 and 96% at MIC and 2xMIC respectively. In addition, the antibacterial agent did not exert haemolytic activity at the active concentration and has been preliminary characterized by TLC and GC-MS as a glycolipid compound. Treatment of potato tubers with strain Ar10 for 72 h significantly reduced the severity of disease symptoms (100 and 85.05% reduction of necrosis deep / area and weight loss respectively). The same levels in disease symptoms severity was also recorded following treatment of potato tubers with cell free supernatant for 1 h. Data suggest that protection against potato soft rot disease may be related to glycolipid production by strain Ar10.

RESUMO

1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor and thus beneficial for prevention of diabetes. While we have succeeded in obtaining the culture supernatant extract (CSE) rich in DNJ from microorganism source, information regarding its anti-hyperglycemic effect and safety were still limited. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate the anti-hyperglycemic effect and safety of microorganism DNJ. Oral sucrose tolerance test was performed, and the result showed that CSE was able to significantly suppress the blood glucose elevation and suggested DNJ as the main active compound. To determine its safety, the absorption and excretion of microorganism DNJ were evaluated using 15N labeling method. Our findings investigated the recovery rate of 15N from DNJ reached 80% up to 48 hours after oral administration, suggesting its rapid excretion, suggesting the safety of DNJ. This study verified the functional properties and safety of DNJ from microorganisms, suggesting its potential use for functional purpose.

RESUMO

Despite the vast exploration of endophytic microbes for growth enhancement in various crops, knowledge about their impact on the production of therapeutically important secondary metabolites is scarce. In the current investigation, chitinolytic bacterial endophytes were isolated from selected medicinal plants and assessed for their mycolytic as well as plant growth promoting potentials. Among them the two most efficient bacterial endophytes namely Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (MPE20) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (MPE115) individually as well as in combination were able to modulate withanolide biosynthetic pathway and tolerance against Alternaria alternata in Withania somnifera. Interestingly, the expression level of withanolide biosynthetic pathway genes (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl co-enzyme A reductase, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductase, farnesyl di-phosphate synthase, squalene synthase, cytochrome p450, sterol desaturase, sterol Δ-7 reductase and sterol glycosyl transferases) were upregulated in plants treated with the microbial consortium under A. alternata stress. In addition, application of microbes not only augmented withaferin A, withanolide A and withanolide B content (1.52-1.96, 3.32-5.96 and 12.49-21.47 fold, respectively) during A. alternata pathogenicity but also strengthened host resistance via improvement in the photochemical efficiency, normalizing the oxidized and non-oxidized fraction, accelerating photochemical and non-photochemical quantum yield, and electron transport rate. Moreover, reduction in the passively dissipated energy of PSI and PSII in microbial combination treated plants corroborate well with the above findings. Altogether, the above finding highlights novel insights into the underlying mechanisms in application of endophytes and emphasizes their capability to accelerate biosynthesis of withanolides in W. somnifera under biotic stress caused by A. alternata.

RESUMO

The eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) outbreak that occurred in the USA and elsewhere in 1989 was caused by the ingestion of Showa Denko K.K. (SD) L-tryptophan (L-Trp). "Six compounds" detected in the L-Trp were reported as case-associated contaminants. Recently the final and most statistically significant contaminant, "Peak AAA" was structurally characterized. The "compound" was actually shown to be two structural isomers resulting from condensation reactions of L-Trp with fatty acids derived from the bacterial cell membrane. They were identified as the indole C-2 anteiso (AAA1-343) and linear (AAA2-343) aliphatic chain isomers. Based on those findings, we utilized a combination of on-line HPLC-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-MS), as well as both precursor and product ion tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to facilitate identification of a homologous family of condensation products related to AAA1-343 and AAA2-343. We structurally characterized eight new AAA1-XXX/AAA2-XXX contaminants, where XXX represents the integer molecular ions of all the related homologs, differing by aliphatic chain length and isomer configuration. The contaminants were derived from the following fatty acids of the bacterial cell membrane, 5-methylheptanoic acid (anteiso-C8:0) for AAA1-315; n-octanoic acid (n-C8:0) for AAA2-315; 6-methyloctanoic acid (anteiso-C9:0) for AAA1-329; n-nonanoic acid (n-C9:0) for AAA2-329; 10-methyldodecanoic acid (anteiso-C13:0) for AAA1-385; n-tridecanoic acid (n-C13:0) for AAA2-385; 11-methyltridecanoic acid (anteiso-C14:0) for AAA1-399; and n-tetradecanoic acid (n-C14:0) for AAA2-399. The concentration levels for these contaminants were estimated to be 0.1-7.9 µg / 500 mg of an individual SD L-Trp tablet or capsule The structural similarity of these homologs to case-related contaminants of Spanish Toxic Oil Syndrome (TOS) is discussed.

RESUMO

Potato common scab, which is caused by soil-borne Streptomyces species, is a severe plant disease that results in a significant reduction in the economic value of potatoes worldwide. Due to the lack of efficacious pesticides, crop rotations, and resistant potato cultivars against the disease, we investigated whether biological control can serve as an alternative approach. In this study, multiple Bacillus species were isolated from healthy potato tubers, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Ba01 was chosen for further analyses based on its potency against the potato common scab pathogen Streptomyces scabies. Ba01 inhibited the growth and sporulation of S. scabies and secreted secondary metabolites such as surfactin, iturin A, and fengycin with potential activity against S. scabies as determined by imaging mass spectrometry. In pot assays, the disease severity of potato common scab decreased from 55.6 ± 11.1% (inoculated with S. scabies only) to 4.2 ± 1.4% (inoculated with S. scabies and Ba01). In the field trial, the disease severity of potato common scab was reduced from 14.4 ± 2.9% (naturally occurring) to 5.6 ± 1.1% after Ba01 treatment, representing evidence that Bacillus species control potato common scab in nature.
