ABSTRACT
In a designed study to screen for antimicrobial exhibiting bacteria using molecular aspects, Bacillus species were considered to investigate antibiotic biosynthesis genes. 28 bacterial strains and 3 induced mutants were screened for the presence of subtilosin gene (sbo) and subtilosin through PCR and Mass spectrometry respectively. Sbo gene was detected in 16 out of 28 Bacillus strains. The results from gene sequences deliberated by multiple sequence alignments revealed high-level homology to the sequences of the sbo-alb gene locus of B. subtilis 168 and the other limited reported strains. Hence, this report provided additional strains to support the idea of subtilosin gene predominance amongst Bacillus strains isolated from environment and to find different species containing homologous genes, furthermore the utilization of its conserved region as a means of identifying Bacillus spp. that produce subtilosin. This is the first report to confirm the detection of subtilosin production from B. amyloliquefaciens.
