Cusack P. Alternatives to conventional antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of commonly occurring diseases in feedlot cattle. Aust Vet J 2024; 102:229-241. [PMID: 38267062 DOI: 10.1111/avj.13314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a problem in human medicine. The development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria in feedlot cattle could have negative effects on their health and welfare and there is a theoretical possibility of transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from food animals to humans. Alternatives to conventional antibiotics in feedlot health management could reduce the selective pressure for the development of antibiotic resistance. This review assesses the evidence supporting potential alternatives to conventional antibiotics in the prevention and treatment of diseases in feedlot cattle, including nitric oxide, plant extracts, supplemental yeast or yeast products, bacterial probiotics, organic acids, bacteriophages and non-specific immunostimulants. Further research is warranted with lactate utilising bacteria, the organic acid malate, bacteriophages and the non-specific immunostimulants β-1,3 glucan and those based on pox viruses. However, none of the alternatives to conventional antibiotics investigated in this review have sufficient supporting evidence to date to justify their use with feedlot cattle. Frequently, statistically weak results and studies without negative controls are cited as support for similar studies. The health and welfare of feedlot cattle are dependent on the use of products that have robust supporting data to ensure efficacy and to avoid adverse outcomes.

Chettri D, Verma AK. Statistical optimization of cellulase production from Bacillus sp. YE16 isolated from yak dung of the Sikkim Himalayas for its application in bioethanol production using pretreated sugarcane bagasse. Microbiol Res 2024; 281:127623. [PMID: 38301380 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2024.127623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Cellulolytic bacteria were isolated from yak dung samples collected from different habitats of Sikkim, India. Isolate YE16 from the Yumthang Valley sample showed highest enzyme activity of 7.68 U/mL and was identified as Bacillus sp., which has a sequence similarity of 96.15% with B. velezensis. One factor at a time (OFAT) analysis revealed that an acidic pH of 5 with 37 °C temperature was optimum for maximum enzyme production after 36 hrs of incubation (13.88 U/mL), which was further increased after statistical optimization (34.70 U/mL). Media optimization based on response surface methodology predicted that Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and MgSO4 at concentrations of 30 g/L and 0.525 g/L, respectively, at pH 5.5 to show CMCase activity of 30.612 U/mL, which was consistent with the observed value of 30.25 U/mL and confirmed the model. The crude enzyme also efficiently hydrolyzed alkaline pretreated sugarcane bagasse, releasing 7.09 g/L of glucose equivalent with an ethanol production of 3.05 g.

Pretreatment of Luzhou distiller's grains for feed protein production using crude enzymes produced by a synthetic microbial consortium. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 390:129852.

Abstract
Chinese distillers' grains (CDGs) have low fermentation efficiency due to the presence of lignocellulosic components, such as rice husk. In this study, a microbial consortium synthesized was used based on the "functional complementarity" principle to produce lignocellulolytic crude enzyme. The crude enzyme was used to hydrolyze CDGs. After enzymatic hydrolysis, lignocellulose was damaged to varying degrees and the crystallinity decreased. Subsequently, the feed protein was produced using yeast through two pathways. The results showed that the crude enzyme produced by the microbial consortium (comprising Trichoderma reesei, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium) exhibited excellent enzymatic efficiency, yielding 27.88%, 19.64%, and 10.88% of reducing sugar, cellulose, and hemicellulose. The true protein content of CDGs increased by 53.49% and 48.35% through the first and second pathways, respectively. Notably, the second pathway demonstrated higher economic benefits to produce feed protein. This study provides a pathway for high-quality utilization of CDGs.

Whole genome sequencing and the lignocellulose degradation potential of Bacillus subtilis RLI2019 isolated from the intestine of termites. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2023; 16:130. [PMID: 37598218 PMCID: PMC10439612 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-023-02375-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant and renewable terrestrial raw material for conversion into bioproducts and biofuels. However, the low utilization efficiency of lignocellulose causes environmental pollution and resource waste, which limits the large-scale application of bioconversion. The degradation of lignocellulose by microorganisms is an efficient and cost-effective way to overcome the challenge of utilizing plant biomass resources. This work aimed to screen valuable cellulolytic bacteria, explore its molecular mechanism from genomic insights, and investigate the ability of the strain to biodegrade wheat straw. RESULTS Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) RLI2019 was isolated from the intestine of Reticulitermes labralis. The strain showed comprehensive enzyme activities related to lignocellulose degradation, which were estimated as 4.06, 1.97, 4.12, 0.74, and 17.61 U/mL for endoglucanase, β-glucosidase, PASC enzyme, filter paper enzyme, and xylanase, respectively. Whole genome sequencing was performed to better understand the genetic mechanism of cellulose degradation. The genome size of B. subtilis RLI2019 was 4,195,306 bp with an average GC content of 43.54%, and the sequence characteristics illustrated an extremely high probability (99.41%) as a probiotic. The genome contained 4,381 protein coding genes with an average GC content of 44.20%, of which 145 genes were classified into six carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) families and 57 subfamilies. Eight cellulose metabolism enzyme-related genes and nine hemicellulose metabolism enzyme-related genes were annotated by the CAZyme database. The starch and sucrose metabolic pathway (ko00500) was the most enriched with 46 genes in carbohydrate metabolism. B. subtilis RLI2019 was co-cultured with wheat straw for 7 days of fermentation, the contents of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose, and lignin were significantly reduced by 5.8%, 10.3%, 1.0%, and 4.7%, respectively. Moreover, the wheat straw substrate exhibited 664.9 μg/mL of reducing sugars, 1.22 U/mL and 6.68 U/mL of endoglucanase and xylanase activities, respectively. Furthermore, the fiber structures were effectively disrupted, and the cellulose crystallinity was significantly reduced from 40.2% to 36.9%. CONCLUSIONS The complex diversity of CAZyme composition mainly contributed to the strong cellulolytic attribute of B. subtilis RLI2019. These findings suggest that B. subtilis RLI2019 has favorable potential for biodegradation applications, thus it can be regarded as a promising candidate bacterium for lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

Abstract
To minimize environmental pollution and waste of resources, distillers' grains (DG) was used to produce 1,3-propanediol. Biological, physical, and chemical methods were used for pretreatment. The correlation between features of pretreated samples and enzymatic digestibility was analyzed. The results showed that the glucan and xylan conversion of dilute sulfuric acid pretreated DG increased by 69.59% and 413.68%, respectively. The glucan conversion of microwave pretreated and xylan conversion of laccase pretreated DG increased by 14.22% and 34.19%, respectively. Pretreatment enhanced enzymatic digestibility through changing the dense structure and features of DG making them conductive to enzymatic hydrolysis. The production of 1,3-propanediol using enzymatic hydrolysate of pretreated DG and glycerol in shake-flask was 17 g/L. The utilization of DG not only provides plentiful raw materials replacing fossil fuels to produce biofuels and other chemicals but efficiently reduces environmental waste.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae HML366 is a newly screened cellulase-producing strain. The endoglucanase HML ED1 from A. oryzae HML366 was quickly purified by a two-step method that combines ammonium sulfate precipitation and strong anion exchange column. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis indicated that the molecular weight of the enzyme was 68 kDa. The optimum temperature of the purified endoglucanase was 60 ℃ and the enzyme activity was stable below 70 ℃. The optimum pH was 6.5, and the enzyme activity was stable at pH between 4.5 and 9.0. The analysis indicated that additional Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Zn2+ reduced the catalytic ability of enzyme to the substrate, but Mn2+ enhanced its catalytic ability to the substrate.The Km and Vmax of the purified endoglucanase were 8.75 mg/mL and 60.24 μmol/min·mg, respectively. In this study, we report for the first time that A. oryzae HML366 can produce a heat-resistant and wide pH tolerant endoglucanase HML ED1, which has potential industrial application value in bioethanol, paper, food, textile, detergent, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Slowly digestible starch (SDS) has attracted increasing attention for its function of preventing metabolic diseases. Based on transglycosylation, starch branching enzymes (1,4-α-glucan branching enzymes, GBEs, EC 2.4.1.18) can be used to regulate the digestibility of starch. In this study, a GBE gene from Bacillus licheniformis (bl-GBE) was cloned, expressed, purified, and characterized. Sequence analysis and structural modeling showed that bl-GBE belong to the glycoside hydrolase 13 (GH13) family, with which its active site residues were conserved. The bl-GBE was highly active at 80 °C and a pH range of 7.5-9.0, and retained 90% of enzyme activity at 70 °C for 16 h. bl-GBE also showed high substrate specificity (80.88 U/mg) on potato starch. The stability and the changes of the secondary structure of bl-GBE at different temperature were determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The CD data showed a loss of 20% of the enzyme activity at high temperatures (80 °C), due to the decreased content of the α -helix in the secondary structure. Furthermore, potato starch treated with bl-GBE (300 U/g starch) showed remarkable increase in stability, solubility, and significant reduction viscosity. Meanwhile, the slowly digestible starch content of bl-GBE modified potato starch increased by 53.03% compared with native potato starch. Our results demonstrated the potential applications of thermophilic bl-GBE in food industries.

Abstract
A thermophilic cellulase-producing bacterium, Bacillus velezensis strain MRC 5958, from Bakra natural hot Springs, India was characterized through genome sequencing. It has a genome size of 4,467,129 bp and a GC content of 45.7%. A cellulase purified from its fermentation broth has a molecular weight of about 18 kDa. The optimum temperature and pH for carboxymethyl cellulase activity were at 55 °C and pH ~ 7.0. The enzyme is stable over a wide range of temperatures from 30 °C to 70 °C with maximum activity observed at 48 h of incubation. The strain produces cellulase on alkali-treated sugarcane bagasse, rice straw, rice husk, rice bran, and sawdust. The sugarcane bagasse exhibited the most effective carbon source for cellulase production at (85 U/ml) followed by rice bran (68 U/ml), rice husk (60 U/ml), rice straw (48 U/ml), and sawdust (39 U/ml). Therefore, this strain can be a potential thermostable cellulase-producing candidate for converting the waste biomass into biofuel and other industrial enzymes.

Abstract
Bacillus as a predominant genus of enzyme-producing bacteria presents desirable features to fulfill the vast demand of specific industries, whereas the knowledge of the Bacillus communities and their capacities of producing industrial hydrolytic enzymes across the microhabitats of the Paracel Islands is limited. Herein, a total of 193 culturable Bacillus strains belonging to 19 species were isolated across the microhabitats of seawater, sediment, coral and seagrass, covering 39 stations of the Paracel Islands. Each microhabitat displayed its unique species, while the species of Bacillus paramycoides besides being the dominant species with an abundance of 54.94% also was the only species shared by all microhabitats of the Paracel Islands. Of the Bacillus communities, 97.41% of the isolates exhibited the capacity of producing one-or-more types of enzymes with comparatively higher and broader ranges of enzyme activities, including 163 protease-, 27 cellulase-, 118 alginate lyase-, 140 K-carrageenase- and 158 agarose-producing strains. By the correlation analyses of "Bacillus-environmental factors" and "Enzyme-producing Bacillus-environmental factors", the cross-habitat distribution and enzyme-producing capacity pattern of the Bacillus communities were strongly driven by habitat type, and the environmental factors made habitat-dependent differential contributions to that in the Paracel Islands. It's worth noting that the cellulase-producing strain wasn't detected in seagrass due to its survival strategy to prevent cellulose degradation by inhibiting cellulase-producing bacteria, while coral contained more stable microbial metabolic functions to protect against environmental fluctuations. These findings besides providing large quantities of promising enzyme-producing candidates for specific industrial desires, also facilitate the development and utilization of marine microbial resources and the environmental policy- and/or law-making according to environmental features across the microhabitats of the Paracel Islands.

Abstract
For a long time, the genus Bacillus has been known and considered among the most applicable genera in several fields. Recent taxonomical developments resulted in the identification of more species in Bacillus-related genera, particularly in the order Bacillales (earlier heterotypic synonym: Caryophanales), with potential application for biotechnological and industrial purposes such as biofuels, bioactive agents, biopolymers, and enzymes. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the taxonomy, growth requirements and physiology, genomics, and metabolic pathways in the highly diverse bacterial order, Bacillales, will facilitate a more robust designing and sustainable production of strain lines relevant to a circular economy. This paper is focused principally on less-known genera and their potential in the order Bacillales for promising applications in the industry and addresses the taxonomical complexities of this order. Moreover, it emphasizes the biotechnological usage of some engineered strains of the order Bacillales. The elucidation of novel taxa, their metabolic pathways, and growth conditions would make it possible to drive industrial processes toward an upgraded functionality based on the microbial nature.

Abstract
Distiller's grains (DGs) possessed great potential utilization value due to their rich active ingredients. However, its utilization efficiency was limited by the large amount of lignocellulose components and water-insoluble proteins. In this work, single screw extrusion was applied to modify physicochemical properties of DGs. Results indicated that extruded distiller's grains (EDGs) exhibited the lower crude fiber content (26.01%), the higher soluble fiber (9.07%) and the smaller particle size when compared with those of Control, and subsequently achieving the increased bulk density, swelling capacity and water/oil holding capacity. The crude protein in EDGs decreased slightly, while the total amount of acid hydrolyzed amino acids showed a significant increase. Additionally, the looser, coarser and fragmentary microstructure of EDGs were observed. The main macromolecules in EDGs had been modified distinctly based on thermal analysis, crystallinity and functional groups analyses, while the possible schematic diagram was conducted to better understand the modification mechanism.

Effects of Different Concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus licheniformis on Silage Quality, In Vitro Fermentation and Microbial Community of Hybrid Pennisetum. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12141752. [PMID: 35883299 PMCID: PMC9311531 DOI: 10.3390/ani12141752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of the experiment was to study the effects of different concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) and Bacillus licheniformis (BL) on the quality of hybrid Pennisetum (HP) silage. The experiment consisted of five treatment groups. The control group did not use additives, and the experimental groups were added with LP or BL of 1 × 105 cfu/g fresh weight (FW) and 1 × 107 cfu/g FW, respectively. The results showed that LP and BL could increase the in vitro fermentation gas production and reduce the ammonia nitrogen (AN) content in HP silage. Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), lactic acid (LA) content, and gas production in the LP group were positively correlated with LP addition, and acetic acid (AA) was negatively correlated with addition. The content of WSC and LA in the LP7 group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05), and AA was lower than that in the control group (p > 0.05). Dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), and gas production were negatively correlated with the addition of BL, while acid detergent fiber (ADF) content was positively correlated with the addition of BL. Furthermore, in the above indicators, the BL5 group reached a significant level with the control group (p < 0.05). The results of 16sRNA showed that the use of LP and BL could increase the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and decrease the relative abundance of Weissella in HP silage compared with the control group. In conclusion, LP and BL can significantly improve the quality of HP silage. The LP7 group and the BL5 group have the best silage effect. From the perspective of gas production in in vitro fermentation, the LP7 group had stronger fermentability and higher nutritional value.

Abstract
The effective degradation of KL from paper mill effluent is an important for environmental safety. This research is primarily concerned with the identification of KL-degrading Bacillus cereus from activated sludge and their possible use for the degradation of Kraft lignin (KL). This strain was involved in the production of lignin peroxidase-LiP (3.20 U/mL), manganese peroxidase-MnP (20.36 U/mL), and laccase (21.35 U/mL) enzymes, which were responsible for high KL degradation (89%) and decolorization (40%) at 1000 mg/L KL in 3 days. The SEM-EDS, UV-Vis, FTIR, and GC-MS analysis were used to analyze the bacterial cell and KL interactions to trace the KL degradation process. The significant reduction of pollutants (KL-72.5%, color-62.0%, COD-45.05%) and reduction in toxicity (80%) of bacterial-treated effluent indicated that B. cereus has the potential to be used in the degradation of pollutants from paper mill effluents.

Abstract
There is an urgent requirement to treat cellulose present in papermaking black liquor since it induces severe economic wastes and causes environmental pollution. We characterized cellulase activity at different temperatures and pH to seek thermo-alkali-stable cellulase-producing bacteria, a natural consortium of Serratia sp. AXJ-M and Arthrobacter sp. AXJ-M1 was used to improve the degradation of cellulose. Notably, the enzyme activities and the degradation rate of cellulose were increased by 30%-70% and 30% after co-culture, respectively. In addition, the addition of cosubstrates increased the degradation rate of cellulose beyond 30%. The thermo-alkali-stable endoglucanase (bcsZ) gene was derived from the strain AXJ-M and was cloned and expressed. The purified bcsZ displayed the maximum activity at 70 °C and pH 9. Mn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Tween-20 had beneficial effects on the enzyme activity. Structurally, bcsZ potentially catalyzed the degradation of cellulose. The co-culture with ligninolytic activities significantly decreased target the parameters (cellulose 45% and COD 95%) while using the immobilized fluidized bed reactors (FBRs). Finally, toxicological tests and antioxidant enzyme activities indicated that the co-culture had a detoxifying effect on black liquor. Our study showed that Serratia sp. AXJ-M acts synergistically with Arthrobacter sp. AXJ-M1 may be potentially useful for bioremediation for black liquor.

Abstract
The bioconversion of lignocellulose into monosaccharides is critical for ensuring the continual manufacturing of biofuels and value-added bioproducts. Enzymatic degradation, which has a high yield, low energy consumption, and enhanced selectivity, could be the most efficient and environmentally friendly technique for converting complex lignocellulose polymers to fermentable monosaccharides, and it is expected to make cellulases and xylanases the most demanded industrial enzymes. The widespread nature of thermophilic microorganisms allows them to proliferate on a variety of substrates and release substantial quantities of cellulases and xylanases, which makes them a great source of thermostable enzymes. The most significant breakthrough of lignocellulolytic enzymes lies in lignocellulose-deconstruction by enzymatic depolymerization of holocellulose into simple monosaccharides. However, commercially valuable thermostable cellulases and xylanases are challenging to produce in high enough quantities. Thus, the present review aims at giving an overview of the most recent thermostable cellulases and xylanases isolated from thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microbes. The emphasis is on recent advancements in manufacturing these enzymes in other mesophilic host and enhancement of catalytic activity as well as thermostability of thermophilic cellulases and xylanases, using genetic engineering as a promising and efficient technology for its economic production. Additionally, the biotechnological applications of thermostable cellulases and xylanases of thermophiles were also discussed.

Abstract
In our study, we used 16SrRNA and ITS to investigate the microbial community composition and the effect of compound bacterial agent on the microbial community composition in the aerobic composting process of food waste (FW). At the bacterial level, the main phyla of Group A (compost naturally) were Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, and the main species were Pseudomonas_sp._GR7, Bacillus licheniformis and Pediococcus acidilactici. The main phyla of Group B (compost with compound bacterial agent) were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Streptophyta, and the main species were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Cronobacter sakazakii, Macrococcus caseolyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, Citrobacter freundii and Bacillus velezensis. It is worth noting that M. caseolyticus may be able to improve the effect of odour which is an important sensory index during aerobic composting. At the fungal level, the main phylum of both Groups A and B was Ascomycota, and the main species of Group A were Paecilomyces variotii, Byssochlamys spectabilis and Aspergillus fumigatus. The main species of Group B were Ogataea polymorpha and Millerozyma farinosa. Finally, the degradation rate of Group B was 81% that was about 15% higher than that of Group A, indicating that the compound bacterial agent could effectively improve the degradation rate and the composting process, while the low abundance of the compound bacterial agent in the composting process might be due to the small initial addition or the inhibition of other bacteria or fungi in the composting process.

Abstract
Background Cellulolytic microorganisms are considered a key player in the degradation of plant biomass in various environments. These microorganisms can be isolated from various environments, such as soils, the insect gut, the mammalian rumen and oceans. The Red Sea exhibits a unique environment in terms of presenting a high seawater temperature, high salinity, low nutrient levels and high biodiversity. However, there is little information regarding cellulase genes in the Red Sea environment. This study aimed to examine whether the Red Sea can be a resource for the bioprospecting of microbial cellulases by isolating cellulase-producing microorganisms from the Red Sea environment and characterizing cellulase genes. Results Three bacterial strains were successfully isolated from the plankton fraction and the surface of seagrass. The isolated strains were identified as Bacillus paralicheniformis and showed strong cellulase activity. These results suggested that these three isolates secreted active cellulases. By whole genome sequencing, we found 10 cellulase genes from the three isolates. We compared the expression of these cellulase genes under cellulase-inducing and non-inducing conditions and found that most of the cellulase genes were generally upregulated during cellulolysis in the isolates. Our operon structure analysis also showed that cellulase genes form operons with genes involved in various kinds of cellular reactions, such as protein metabolism, which suggests the existence of crosstalk between cellulolysis and other metabolic pathways in the bacterial isolates. These results suggest that multiple cellulases are playing important roles in cellulolysis. Conclusions Our study reports the isolation and characterization of cellulase-producing bacteria from the Red Sea. Our whole-genome sequencing classified our three isolates as Bacillus paralicheniformis, and we revealed the presence of ten cellulase orthologues in each of three isolates’ genomes. Our comparative expression analysis also identified that most of the cellulase genes were upregulated under the inducing conditions in general. Although cellulases have been roughly classified into three enzyme groups of beta-glucosidase, endo-β-1,4-glucanase and exoglucanase, these findings suggest the importance to consider microbial cellulolysis as a more complex reaction with various kinds of cellulase enzymes.
