Various characteristics of lipid metabolism of Bacillus brevis var. G.-B

Some characteristic features of the lipid metabolism of Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. natural variants and Bacillus brevis mutant 101 were studied. The authors found that upon submerged cultivation gramicidine S-producing P+-variant and B. brevis mutant 101 synthesized higher amounts of tocopherols as compared to other colonial-morphological variants. The highest tocopherol content was observed in P+-variant, whose cells contained the highest amount of total lipids as compared to other gramicidine S-producers.     

Identification of thermophilic bacteria in solid-waste composting

The thermophilic microbiota of solid-waste composting, with major emphasis on Bacillus spp., was examined with Trypticase soy broth (BBL Microbiology Systems) with 2% agar as the initial plating medium. Five 4.5-liter laboratory units at 49 to 69 degrees C were fed a mixture of dried table scraps and shredded newspaper. The composting plants treating refuse at Altoona, Pa., and refuse-sludge at Leicester, England, were also sampled. Of 652 randomly picked colonies, 87% were identified as Bacillus spp. Other isolates included two genera of unidentified nonsporeforming bacteria (one of gram-negative small rods and the other of gram-variable coccobacilli), the actinomycetes Streptomyces spp. and Thermoactinomyces sp., and the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Among the Bacillus isolates, the following, in order of decreasing frequency, were observed: B. circulans complex, B. stearothermophilus, B. coagulans types A and B, B. licheniformis, B. brevis, B. sphaericus, Bacillus spp. types i and ii, and B. subtilis. About 15% of the Bacillus isolates could be assigned to species only by allowing for greater variability in one or more characteristics than has been reported by other authors for their strains. In particular, growth at higher temperatures than previously reported was found for strains of several species. A small number of Bacillus isolates (less than 2%) could not be assigned to any recognized species.     

Endophytic bacterial flora in root and stem tissues of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) genotype: isolation, identification and evaluation against Phytophthora capsici

Aim:  To isolate and identify black pepper ( Piper nigrum L) associated endophytic bacteria antagonistic to Phytophthora capsici causing foot rot disease.
Methods and Results:  Endophytic bacteria (74) were isolated, characterized and evaluated against P. capsici . Six genera belong to Pseudomonas spp (20 strains), Serratia (1 strain), Bacillus spp. (22 strains), Arthrobacter spp. (15 strains), Micrococcus spp. (7 strains), Curtobacterium sp. (1 strain) and eight unidentified strains were isolated from internal tissues of root and stem. Three isolates, IISRBP 35, IISRBP 25 and IISRBP 17 were found effective for Phytophthora suppression in multilevel screening assays which recorded over 70% disease suppression in green house trials. A species closest match (99% similarity) of IISRBP 35 was established as Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Pseudomonas EF568931), IISRBP 25 as P. putida ( Pseudomonas EF568932), and IISRBP 17 as Bacillus megaterium ( B. megaterium EU071712) based on 16S rDNA sequencing.
Conclusion:  Black pepper associated P. aeruginosa , P. putida and B. megaterium were identified as effective antagonistic endophytes for biological control of Phytophthora foot rot in black pepper.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This work provides the first evidence for endophytic bacterial diversity in black pepper stem and roots, with biocontrol potential against P. capsici infection.

Decolourisation and detoxification of synthetic molasses melanoidins by individual and mixed cultures of Bacillus spp

The decolourisation of synthetic melanoidins (i.e., GGA, GAA, SGA, and SAA) by three Bacillus isolates (Bacillus thuringiensis (MTCC 4714), Bacillus brevis (MTCC 4716) and Bacillus sp. (MTCC 6506)) was studied. Significant reduction in the values of physicochemical parameters was noticed alongwith the decolourisation of all four melanoidins (10% v/v). B. thuringiensis (MTCC 4714) caused maximum decolourisation followed by B. brevis (MTCC 4716) and Bacillus sp. (MTCC 6506). A mixed culture comprised of these three strains was capable of decolourising all four melanoidins. The medium that contained glucose as a sole carbon source showed 15% more decolourisation than that containing both carbon and nitrogen sources. Melanoidin SGA was maximally decolourised (50%) while melanoidin GAA was decolourised least ( approximately 06%) in the presence of glucose as a sole energy source. The addition of 1% glucose as a supplementary carbon source was essential for co-metabolism of melanoidin complex. The decolourisation of synthetic melanoidin by three Bacillus spp. significantly reduced the toxicity to the tubificid worm (Tubifex tubifex, Müller).     

Identification of bacteria in pasteurized zucchini purées stored at different temperatures and comparison with those found in other pasteurized vegetable purées

One hundred nineteen isolates from a commercial zucchini purée stored at 4, 10, and 20 to 25 degrees C were fingerprinted using repetitive sequence-based PCR (REP-PCR) and classified into 35 REP types. One representative isolate of each REP type was subsequently identified by API50CHB/20E profile and partial rrs gene sequence analysis. Nine REP types were misidentified by the API system. Strains were misidentified as being in the Bacillus circulans (group 2) API taxon or in taxa with a low number of positive API characters such as Brevibacillus brevis. A phylogenetic analysis pointed to one new species of Bacillus and three new species of Paenibacillus among the misidentified REP types. Bacterial components in zucchini purée were compared phenotypically with those obtained in previous work on broccoli, carrot, leek, potato, and split pea purées, based on simple matching coefficient and unweighted pair group method with averages cluster analysis. Out of 254 strains, 69 strains previously identified as B. circulans (group 2) or B. circulans/B. macerans/B. polymyxa were assigned to a new Paenibacillus taxon phylogenetically related to P. azotofixans. Storage conditions at 4 degrees C favored the development of "B. macroides/B. maroccanus" and Paenibacillus spp. in zucchini purées and Paenibacillus spp. in other purées. Storage conditions at 20 to 25 degrees C favored the development of B. subtilis group (B. licheniformis and B. subtilis) and B. cereus group strains. At 10 degrees C, Paenibacillus spp. were always present at high frequencies, whereas the occurrence of B. macroides/B. maroccanus (in zucchini purées), B. cereus, and B. pumilus varied with the experiment.     

Structural study of the basal bodies of the flagella of Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. P+

The structural organisation of the flagellum basal body was studied in Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. P+ by electron microscopy. It was compared with that of Escherichia coli MS 1350. The basal body of a B. brevis flagellum contains, in addition to two pairs of rings on a rod, another ring-like structure (d = 13.6 nm, h = 4.3 nm) which we referred to as a "collar". The collar makes the basal body of B. brevis different from that of B. subtilis, another Gram-positive bacterium. The collar seems to fasten the flagellum of B. brevis to the cell wall. We have concluded that the basal body can differ not merely among bacterial systematic groups, but also among bacteria belonging to one and the same genus. The role of individual elements in the structure of the basal body of bacterial flagella is discussed.     

Ten years-long survey on pathogen status of mouse and rat breeding colonies

Eleven pathogens including P. aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., E. coli O115a, c: K(B), P. pneumotropica, B. bronchiseptica, C. kutscheri, Tyzzer's organism, M. pulmonis, Sendai virus, MHV and Syphacia spp. were surveyed in 217 mouse and rat breeding colonies during 1972-1981. In conventional animals, P. pneumotropica and/or Syphacia spp. were detected in nearly 90% of 89 mouse and 64 rat colonies. Sendai virus, M. pulmonis, P. aeruginosa and MHV were positive in 51.7 to 23.6% of the colonies, and Tyzzer's organism, B. bronchiseptica and probably SDA virus were also detected in more than 10% of the rat colonies. Salmonella spp., E. coli O115a, c: K(B) and C. kutscheri were found in a few colonies. In SPF animals, P. aeruginosa was isolated from about one third of 33 mouse and 31 rat colonies, and P. aeruginosa was isolated from about one third of 33 mouse and 31 rat colonies, and P. pneumotropica was also positive in 3 rat colonies. Infection rates of P. pneumotropica, M. pulmonis, Sendai virus and Syphacia spp. were usually higher than 40% of animals sampled from colonies contaminated with them. Accidental contaminations of SPF colonies were usually caused by P. pneumotropica and Syphacia spp.     

Efficient synthesis and secretion of a thermophilic alpha-amylase by protein-producing Bacillus brevis 47 carrying the Bacillus stearothermophilus amylase gene.

Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus brevis 47-5, carrying the Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase gene on pUB110 (pBAM101), synthesized the same alpha-amylase as the donor strain as determined by the enzyme's thermal stability and NH2-terminal amino acid sequence. Regardless of the host, the 34-amino acid signal peptide of the enzyme was processed at exactly the same site between two alanine residues. B. brevis 47-5(pBAM101) secreted the enzyme most efficiently of the hosts examined, 100, 15, and 5 times more than B. stearothermophilus, Escherichia coli HB101(pH1301), and B. subtilis 1A289(pBAM101), respectively. The efficient secretion of the enzyme in B. brevis 47-5(pBAM101) was suggested to be due to the unique properties of the cell wall of this organism.
