ABSTRACT

Floricoccus penangensis is a Gram-positive coccoid organism that is a member of the lactic acid bacteria. F. penangensis ML061-4 was originally isolated from the surface of an Assam tea leaf, and its genome is herein shown to contain gene clusters predicted to be involved in complex carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.

ABSTRACT

Assam tea plants (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) or Miang are found in plantations and forests of Northern Thailand. Leaf fermentation has been performed for centuries, but little information is available about their associated microbial community. One hundred and fifty-seven bacterial isolates were isolated from 62 Assam tea leaf samples collected from 6 provinces of Northern Thailand and classified within the phyla of Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria. Phayao and Phrae provinces exhibited the highest and the lowest bacterial diversities, respectively. The bacterial community structural pattern demonstrated significant differences between the west and the east sides. Since some Bacillus spp. have been reported to be involved in fermented Miang, Bacillus spp. isolated in this study were chosen for further elucidation. Bacillus siamensis ML122-2 exhibited a growth inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA DMST 20625, and the highest survival ability in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids (32.3 and 99.7%, respectively), autoaggregation (93.2%), cell surface hydrophobicity (50.0%), and bacterial adherence with Vero cells (75.8% of the control Lactiplantibacillusplantarum FM03-1). This B. siamensis ML122-2 is a promising probiotic to be used in the food industry and seems to have potential antibacterial properties relevant for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections.
