Inhibition of biofilm in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus amyloliquefaciens</Emphasis> Q-426 by diketopiperazines

Biofilm formation can make significant effects on bacteria habits and biological functions. In this study, diketopiperazines (DKPs) produced by strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Q-426 was found to inhibit biofilm formed in the gas–liquid interface. Four kinds of DKPs were extracted from B. amyloliquefaciens Q-426, and we found that 0.04 mg ml^?1 DKPs could obviously inhibit the biofilm formation of the strain. DKPs produced by B. amyloliquefaciens Q-426 made a reduction on extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) components, polysaccharides, proteins, DNAs, etc. Real-time PCR was performed to determine that whether DKPs could make an obvious effect on the expression level for genes related to biofilm formation in the strain. The relative expression level of genes tasA, epsH, epsG and remB which related to proteins, extracellular matrix, and polysaccharides, were downregulated with 0.04 mg ml^?1 DKPs, while the expression level of nuclease gene nuc was significantly upregulated. The quantitative results of the mRNA expression level for these genes concerted with the quantitative results on EPS levels. All of the experimental results ultimately indicated that DKPs could inhibit the biofilm formation of the strain B. amyloliquefaciens Q-426.     

Effects of critical medium components on the production of antifungal lipopeptides from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Q-426 exhibiting excellent biosurfactant properties

In this study, influence of three critical parameters nitrogen sources, initial pH and metal ions was discussed in the production of antifungal lipopeptides from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Q-426. The results revealed that lipopeptide biosynthesis might have relations with the population density of strain Q-426 and some special amino acids. Also, the alkali-resistant strain Q-426 could grow well in the presence of Fe²⁺ ions below 0.8 M l^?1 and still maintain the competitive advantage below 0.2 M l^?1. Moreover, lipopeptides exhibited significant inhibitory activities against Curvularia lunata (Walk) Boed even at the extreme conditions of temperature, pH and salinity. Finally, biosurfactant properties of lipopeptides mixture were evaluated by use with totally six different methods including bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbons assay, lipase activity, hemolytic activity, emulsification activity, oil displacement test and surface tension measurement. The research suggested that B. amyloliquefaciens Q-426 may have great potential in agricultural and environmental fields.     

Development of LC-MS/MS analysis of cyclic dipeptides and its application to tea extract

2,5-Diketopiperazines (DKPs), also called cyclic dipeptides, have been known to occur in various foods. Recently, DKPs have attracted attentions as bioactive components. There were some reports on analytical methods for DKPs, but the number of analyzed DKPs was only a part of all DKPs and the quantitative performance was not studied in detail. In this study, we selected 31 kinds of DKPs and developed a quantitative and simultaneous analytical method using LC-MS/MS. This method was applied to DKPs determination in Pu-erh tea, post-fermentation tea, and 18 kinds of DKPs were determined at concentration of 0.0017–0.11 ppm. As a result of spiked test, it was concluded that the developed method using LC-MS/MS was useful for estimating DKPs concentration in tea.

Characterization of fungal antagonistic bacilli isolated from aerial roots of banyan (Ficus benghalensis) using intact‐cell MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry (ICMS)

Aims

To characterize fungal antagonistic bacilli isolated from aerial roots of banyan tree and identify the metabolites responsible for their antifungal activity.

Methods and Results

Seven gram positive, endospore‐forming, rod‐shaped endophytic bacterial strains exhibiting a broad‐spectrum antifungal activity were isolated from the surface‐sterilized aerial roots of banyan tree. The isolates designated as K1, A2, A4 and A12 were identified as Bacillus subtilis, whereas isolates A11 and A13 were identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens using Biolog Microbial Identification System. The antifungal lipopeptides, surfactins, iturins and fengycins with masses varying in the range from m/z 900 to m/z 1550 could be detected using intact‐cell MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry (ICMS). On the basis of mass spectral and carbon source utilization profile, all seven endophytes could be distinguished from each other. Furthermore, ICMS analysis revealed higher extent of heterogeneity among iturins and fengycins produced by B. subtilis K1, correlating well with its higher antifungal activity in comparison with other isolates.

Conclusion

Seven fungal antagonistic bacilli were isolated from aerial roots of banyan tree, exhibiting broad spectrum of antifungal activity, among which B. subtilis K1 isolate was found to be most potent. The ICMS analysis revealed that all these isolates produced cyclic lipopeptides belonging to surfactin, iturin and fengycin families and exhibited varying degree of heterogeneity.

Significance and Impact of the study

The endophytes are considered as a potential source of novel bioactive metabolites, and this study describes the potent fungal antagonistic bacilli from aerial roots of banyan tree. The isolates described in this study have a prospective application as biocontrol agents. Also ICMS analysis described in this study for characterization of antifungal metabolites produced by banyan endophytic bacilli may be used as a high throughput tool for screening of microbes producing novel cyclic lipopeptides.     

Structure, biosynthesis, and properties of kurstakins, nonribosomal lipopeptides from Bacillus spp.

A new family of lipopeptides produced by Bacillus thuringiensis, the kurstakins, was discovered in 2000 and considered as a biomarker of this species. Kurstakins are lipoheptapeptides displaying antifungal activities against Stachybotrys charatum. Recently, the biosynthesis mechanism, the regulation of this biosynthesis and the potential new properties of kurstakins were described in the literature. In addition, kurstakins were also detected in other species belonging to Bacillus genus such as Bacillus cereus. This mini-review gathers all the information about these promising bioactive molecules.
