Microb Pathog 2024; 190:106604.

Abstract
Early blight caused by Alternaria solani is a common foliar disease of potato around the world, and serious infections result in reduced yields and marketability due to infected tubers. The major aim of this study is to figure out the synergistic effect between microorganism and fungicides and to evaluate the effectiveness of Bacillus subtilis NM4 in the control of early blight in potato. Based on its colonial morphology and a 16S rRNA analysis, a bacterial antagonist isolated from kimchi was identified as B. subtilis NM4 and it has strong antifungal and anti-oomycete activity against several phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes. The culture filtrate of strain NM4 with the fungicide effectively suppressed the mycelial growth of A. solani, with the highest growth inhibition rate of 83.48%. Although exposure to culture filtrate prompted hyphal alterations in A. solani, including bulging, combining it with the fungicide caused more severe hyphal damage with continuous bulging. Surfactins and fengycins, two lipopeptide groups, were isolated and identified as the main compounds in two fractions using LC-ESI-MS. Although the surfactin-containing fraction failed to inhibit growth, the fengycin-containing fraction, alone and in combination with chlorothalonil, restricted mycelial development, producing severe hyphal deformations with formation of chlamydospores. A pot experiment combining strain NM4, applied as a broth culture, with fungicide, at half the recommended concentration, resulted in a significant reduction in potato early blight severity. Our results indicate the feasibility of an integrated approach for the management of early blight in potato that can reduce fungicide application rates, promoting a healthy ecosystem in agriculture.

Abstract
Biological control is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides for controlling Fusarium spp. infestations. In this work, Bacillus siamensis Sh420 isolated from wheat rhizosphere showed a high antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum as a secure substitute for fungicides. Sh420 was identified as B. siamensis using phenotypic evaluation and 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. An in vitro antagonistic study showed that Sh420's lipopeptide (LP) extract exhibited strong antifungal properties and effectively combated F. graminearum. Meanwhile, lipopeptides have the ability to decrease ergosterol content, which has an impact on the overall structure and stability of the plasma membrane. The PCR-based screening revealed the presence of antifungal LP biosynthetic genes in this strain's genomic DNA. In the crude LP extract of Sh420, we were able to discover several LPs such as bacillomycin, iturins, fengycin, and surfactins using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Microscopic investigations (fluorescent/transmission electron microscopy) revealed deformities and alterations in the morphology of the phytopathogen upon interaction with LPs. Sh420 LPs have been shown in grape tests to be effective against F. graminearum infection and to stimulate antioxidant activity in fruits by avoiding rust and gray lesions. The overall findings of this study highlight the potential of Sh420 lipopeptides as an effective biological control agent against F. graminearum infestations.IMPORTANCEThis study addresses the potential of lipopeptide (LP) extracts obtained from the strain identified as Bacillus siamensis Sh420. This Sh420 isolate acts as a crucial player in providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides for suppressing Fusarium graminearum phytopathogen. Moreover, these LPs can reduce ergosterol content in the phytopathogen influencing the overall structure and stability of its plasma membrane. PCR screening provided confirmation regarding the existence of genes responsible for biosynthesizing antifungal LPs in the genomic DNA of Sh420. Several antibiotic lipopeptide compounds were identified from this bacterial crude extract using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Microscopic investigations revealed deformities and alterations in the morphology of F. graminearum upon interaction with LPs. Furthermore, studies on fruit demonstrated the efficacy of Sh420 LPs in mitigating F. graminearum infection and stimulating antioxidant activity in fruits, preventing rust and gray lesions.

Abstract
Microbial natural products form the basis of most of the antibiotics used in the clinic. The vast majority has not yet been discovered, among others because the hidden chemical space is obscured by previously identified (and typically abundant) antibiotics in culture extracts. Efficient dereplication is therefore key to the discovery of our future medicines. Here we present an analytical platform for the efficient identification and prioritization of low abundance bioactive compounds at nanoliter scale, called nanoRAPIDS. NanoRAPIDS encompasses analytical scale separation and nanofractionation of natural extracts, followed by the bioassay of interest, automated mass spectrometry identification, and Global Natural Products Social molecular networking (GNPS) for dereplication. As little as 10 μL crude extract is fractionated into 384 fractions. First, bioactive congeners of iturins and surfactins were identified in Bacillus, based on their bioactivity. Subsequently, bioactive molecules were identified in an extensive network of angucyclines elicited by catechol in cultures of Streptomyces sp. This allowed the discovery of a highly unusual N-acetylcysteine conjugate of saquayamycin, despite low production levels in an otherwise abundant molecular family. These data underline the utility and broad application of the technology for the prioritization of minor bioactive compounds in complex extracts.

Computational Methods Reveal a Series of Cyclic and Linear Lichenysins and Surfactins from the Vietnamese Marine Sediment-Derived Streptomyces Strain G222. Molecules 2024; 29:1458.

Abstract
The Streptomyces strain G222, isolated from a Vietnamese marine sediment, was confidently identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Its AcOEt crude extract was successfully analyzed using non-targeted LC-MS/MS analysis, and molecular networking, leading to a putative annotation of its chemical diversity thanks to spectral libraries from GNPS and in silico metabolite structure prediction obtained from SIRIUS combined with the bioinformatics tool conCISE (Consensus Annotation Propagation of in silico Elucidations). This dereplication strategy allowed the identification of an interesting cluster of a series of putative cyclic and linear lipopeptides of the lichenysin and surfactin families. Lichenysins (3-7) were isolated from the sub-fraction, which showed significant anti-biofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa MUC-N1. Their structures were confirmed by detailed 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, TOCSY, ROESY) recorded in CD3OH, and their absolute configurations were determined using the modified Marfey's method. The isolated lichenysins showed anti-biofilm activity at a minimum concentration of 100 µM. When evaluated for antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, two isolated lichenysins exhibited selective activity against the MRSA strain without affecting its growth curve and without membranotropic activity. This study highlights the power of the MS/MS spectral similarity strategy using computational methods to obtain a cross-validation of the annotated molecules from the complex metabolic profile of a marine sediment-derived Streptomyces extract. This work provides the first report from a Streptomyces strain of combined cyclic and linear lichenysins and surfactins, known to be characteristic compounds of the genus Bacillus.

Lipopeptides from an isolate of Bacillus subtilis complex have inhibitory and antibiofilm effects on Fusarium solani. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 107:6103-6120.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis species complex is known as lipopeptide-producer with biotechnological potential for pharmaceutical developments. This study aimed to identify lipopeptides from a bacterial isolate and evaluate their antifungal effects. Here, we isolated and identified a lipopeptide-producing bacterium as a species of Bacillus subtilis complex (strain UL-1). Twenty lipopeptides (six iturins, six fengycins, and eight surfactins) were identified in the crude extract (CE) and fractions (F1, F2, F3, and F4), and the highest content of total lipopeptides was observed in CE and F2. The chemical quantification data corroborate with the hemolytic and antifungal activities that CE and F2 were the most hemolytic and inhibited the fungal growth at lower concentrations against Fusarium spp. In addition, they caused morphological changes such as shortening and/or atypical branching of hyphae and induction of chlamydospore-like structure formation, especially in Fusarium solani. CE was the most effective in inhibiting the biofilm formation and in disrupting the mature biofilm of F. solani reducing the total biomass and the metabolic activity at concentrations ≥ 2 µg/mL. Moreover, CE significantly inhibited the adherence of F. solani conidia on contact lenses and nails as well as disrupted the pre-formed biofilms on nails. CE at 100 mg/kg was nontoxic on Galleria mellonella larvae, and it reduced the fungal burden in larvae previously infected by F. solani. Taken together, the lipopeptides obtained from strain UL-1 demonstrated a potent anti-Fusarium effect inducing morphological alterations and antibiofilm activities. Our data open further studies for the biotechnological application of these lipopeptides as potential antifungal agents. KEY POINTS: • Lipopeptides inhibit Fusarium growth and induce chlamydospore-like structures. • Lipopeptides hamper the adherence of conidia and biofilms of Fusarium solani. • Iturins, fengycins, and surfactins were associated with antifungal effects.

Abstract
Protocols to identify lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts contained in complex residual streams are very important, as fermented agri-food matrices are potential sources of these valuable compounds. For instance, corn steep liquor (CSL), a secondary stream of the corn wet-milling industry, is composed of a mixture of microbial metabolites, produced during the corn steeping process, and other natural metabolites released from corn, that can interfere with the purification and analysis of lipopeptides. Electrophoresis could be an interesting technique for the purification and further characterization of lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts contained in secondary residual streams like CSL, but there is little existing literature about it. It is necessary to consider that lipopeptide biosurfactants, like Surfactin, usually are substances that are poorly soluble in water at acidic or neutral pH, forming micelles what can inhibit their separation by electrophoresis. In this work, two lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts obtained directly from CSL, after liquid-liquid extraction with chloroform or ethyl acetate, were purified by applying a second liquid extraction with ethanol. Following that, ethanolic biosurfactant extracts were subjected to electrophoresis under different conditions. Lipopeptides on Tricine-SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gels) were better visualized and identified by fluorescence using SYPRO Ruby dye than using Coomassie blue dye. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis of lipopeptide isoforms separated by electrophoresis revealed the presence of masses at 1,044, 1,058, and 1,074 m/z, concluding that Tricine-SDS-PAGE electrophoresis combined with MALDI-TOF-MS could be a useful tool for purifying and identifying lipopeptides in complex matrices.

Abstract
Lipopeptides, a class of compounds consisting of a peptide ring and a fatty acid chain, are secondary metabolites produced by Bacillus spp. As their hydrophilic and oleophilic properties, lipopeptides are widely used in food, medicine, environment and other industrial or agricultural fields. Compared with artificial synthetic surfactants, microbial lipopeptides have the advantages of low toxicity, high efficiency and versatility, resulting in urgent market demand and broad development prospect of lipopeptides. However, due to the complex metabolic network and precursor requirements of synthesis, the specific and strict synthesis pathway, and the coexistence of multiple homologous substances, the production of lipopeptides by microorganisms has the problems of high cost and low production efficiency, limiting the mass production of lipopeptides and large-scale application in industry. This review summarizes the types of Bacillus-produced lipopeptides and their biosynthetic pathways, introduces the versatility of lipopeptides, and describes the methods to improve the production of lipopeptides, including genetic engineering and optimization of fermentation conditions.

J Biotechnol 2023; 362:24-35. [PMID: 36563858 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2022.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The growth-associated metabolites are produced during the exponential phase; however, this phase terminates due to substrate depletion or product inhibition. In the present study, a semicontinuous mode with a fill-and-draw strategy was applied to extend the exponential phase of the biosurfactant production to overcome the product inhibition and in turn, enhance the yield. Bioreactor studies were performed in batch mode, followed by the semicontinuous operation. A potential biosurfactant producer Bacillus subtilis RSL2 was used in this study at the previously optimized conditions of pH 6.6, temperature 41 °C and 5% (w/v) of molasses. A better mass transfer was achieved in the bioreactor as compared to the shake flask study. In the batch bioreactor study, 90% of sugar was utilized with simultaneous 13.7 g L-1 of biosurfactant production. The sugar utilization was further improved to > 98% in the case of semicontinuous operation employing a fill-and-draw strategy. The exponential phase got extended up to 18 days and a total of 13 L of media was fed in the semicontinuous operation of 21 days as compared to 1.5 L of working volume in the batch reactor. The biosurfactant yield was enhanced by 1.5 folds and was found to be 0.97 g g-1. The produced biosurfactant was identified as a lipopeptide. The interfacial properties of the biosurfactant along with colloidal and thermal stability have been investigated. The critical micelle concentration of the produced biosurfactant was 70 mg L-1. The present study highlighted the efficient utilization of molasses for the production of biosurfactant, an alternative metabolite, in a semicontinuous mode of bioreactor.

Abstract
This study was aim at investigating antifungal activities of Bacillus velezensis FJAT-52631 and its lipopeptides against Colletotrichum acutatum ex situ and in situ. The results showed that the strain FJAT-52631 and its crude lipopeptides (10 mg/ml) exhibited strong inhibitory effects on growth of C. acutatum FJAT-30256 with an inhibition rate of 75.3% and an inhibition zone diameter of 17.66 mm, respectively. Both the viable bacterial cultures and lipopeptides of FJAT-52631 could delay the onset of loquat anthracnose by 1 day and lower the incidence of loquat anthracnose in situ. The whole cultures of B. velezensis FJAT-52631 displayed a 50% biocontrol efficacy on loquat anthracnose at the fourth day after inoculation, but the crude lipopeptides not. The average lesion diameter of the whole-culture treated group was 5.62 mm, which was smaller than that of control group (6.81 mm). All the three types of lipopeptides including iturin A, fengycin, and surfactin A secreted from the strain FJAT-52631 exhibited antifungal activities. Among them, surfactin A displayed higher antifungal activity at a concentration of 1.25 mg/mL than other two lipopeptides even if at a concentration of 60 mg/mL. Thus, the results indicated that surfactin A produced by FJAT-52631 played a major role in the biocontrol of the loquat anthracnose. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed the structural deformities in the mycelia of C. acutatum. The above results suggested that the antifungal lipopeptides from B. velezensis FJAT-52631 would be potential in biocontrol against anthracnose disease of loquat caused by C. acutatum.

[PMID: 36542232 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-022-00314-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Mustard-rapeseed cultivation is affected by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum resulting in loss of oil yield and degradation of crop quality. This study adopted an environment friendly biocontrol approach of screening mustard endophytes against the pathogen. Two bacterial isolates, Bacillus safensis (TS46 bac4) and Bacillus australimaris (SM2) showed potential biocontrol activity under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Dual culture assay reported 90% inhibition of fungal growth. The bacterial cell free supernatant of isolate SM2 showed 52.89% inhibition and the other isolate TS46 bac4 showed 57.97% inhibition. The crude (10 mg/ml) and purified (10 mg/ml) metabolite extract of SM2 showed 100% and 97% inhibition respectively. Both crude (10 mg/ml) and purified (7.5 mg/ml) metabolite extract of TS46 bac4 exhibited 99% inhibition of the pathogen. Antifungal lipopeptides: surfactin, iturin and fengycin were identified in bacterial metabolite extract of the isolates. Both strains promoted healthy germination and prevented the formation of any disease symptoms in seedling. The selected Bacillus strains applied by spray method showed better results against fungal infection on mustard leaf and stem. Microscopic studies revealed degradation of fungal mycelial growth by both isolates. These findings support the employment of the bacterial strains as potential biocontrol agents to reduce the effects of S. sclerotiorum in mustard-rapeseed.

Abstract
Bacillus spp. can exert plant growth-promoting effects and biocontrol effects after effective colonization, and bacterial chemotaxis toward plant root exudates is the initial step to colonize. Under biotic stress, plants are able to alter their root exudates to attract or avoid different types of microbes. Hence, Bacillus chemotaxis toward root exudates after pathogen infection is crucial for exerting their beneficial effects. In this study, the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens OR2-30 strain, which exhibited greater chemotaxis ability toward maize root exudates after Fusarium graminearum infection, was screened from 156 rhizosphere microorganisms. The infected maize root exudates were further confirmed to improve the swarming and biofilm formation ability of the OR2-30 strain. Chemotaxis, swarming, and biofilm formation ability were able to influence bacterial colonization. Indeed, the the OR2-30 strain displayed more effective colonization ability in the maize rhizosphere after F. graminearum inoculation. Moreover, lipopeptides produced by OR2-30 were identified as iturins and responsible for suppressing F. graminearum growth. Further study showed that lipopeptides suppressed the growth of F. graminearum by inhibiting conidia formation and germination, inducing reactive oxygen species production and causing cell death in mycelium. Eventually, the OR2-30 strain increased maize resistance against F. graminearum. These results suggested that maize root exudates could recruit B. amyloliquefacines OR2-30 after F. graminearum infection, and that OR2-30 then suppresses the F. graminearum by producing lipopeptides, such as iturins, to protect maize.

Abstract
Potato common scab is caused by Streptomyces, which resides in soil and has become a serious disease in potato planting areas worldwide. In this study, we obtained a Bacillus subtilis YPS-32 strain by natural screening, and atmospheric and room-temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis and field trial results showed that B. subtilis YPS-32 has a control efficacy of 83.70% against potato common scab. The complete genome of B. subtilis YPS-32 was sequenced, and multiple genes related to the synthesis of antibiotics and plant growth promoters were detected. Based on the genomic information for B. subtilis YPS-32, the sfp gene-inactivated (related to the synthesis of secondary metabolites) mutant strain B. subtilis YPS-32Δsfp was constructed. Analysis of crude extract metabolites using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) techniques revealed that strain YPS-32 encodes antagonists, such as surfactin and fengycin, which have antimicrobial effects. This study clarifies the mode of action by which B. subtilis YPS-32 antagonizes Streptomyces scabies and provides a reference for further research on antibacterial genes in the future.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the biological activity of extracts from cultures of marine bacteria against Toxoplasma gondii and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Ethyl acetate extracts obtained from seven marine bacteria were tested against T. gondii GFP-RH and M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The cytotoxicity on HFF-1 cells was measured by a microplate resazurin fluorescent approach, and the haemolytic activity was determined photometrically. The extracts from Bacillus sp. (INV FIR35 and INV FIR48) affected the tachyzoite viability. The extracts from Bacillus, Pseudoalteromonas, Streptomyces and Micromonospora exhibited effects on infection and proliferation processes of parasite. Bacillus sp. INV FIR48 extract showed an minimum inhibitory concentration value of 50 µg ml-1 against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. All the extracts exhibited relatively low toxicity to HFF-1 cells and the primary culture of erythrocytes, except Bacillus sp. INV FIR35, which decreased cell viability under 20%. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis of the most active bacterial extract Bacillus sp. INV FIR48 showed the presence of peptide metabolites related to surfactin. CONCLUSIONS The extract from culture of deep-sea Bacillus sp. INV FIR48 showed anti-T. gondii and anti-tuberculosis (TB) biological activity with low cytotoxicity. In addition, peptide metabolites were detected in the extract. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Toxoplasmosis and TB are among the most prevalent diseases worldwide, and the current treatment drugs exhibit side effects. This study confirm that marine bacteria are on hand sources of anti-infective natural products.

Abstract
The European Union banned the usage of antibiotic growth promoters in animal production. The probiotic microorganism of the genus Bacillus appeared to be an attractive candidate to replace antibiotics. The Bacillus subtilis DSM 29784 is one of these strains. To date, the probiotic effect has not been completely understood, but it is supposed that the effect depends on metabolites of the microorganism. Imaging high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is a powerful tool to visualize differences in the metabolite profile of bacteria with high genetic similarity to allow a better understanding of the probiotic effect. In comparison to other bacteria, especially these bacterial cells were more robust to harsh cultivation conditions and produced a higher level of antioxidants or bioactive substances such as surfactin. HPTLC enabled the comparison of pure cell cultures to the spore cultivation in the feed, and the results explain and support the probiotic effect.

Evaluation of Calcium Alginate-Based Biopolymers as Potential Component of Membranes for Recovering Biosurfactants from Corn Steep Water. WATER 2021.

Abstract
Corn steep water (CSW) is a complex agro-food stream that is used as a source of cost-competitive biosurfactants, since they are produced spontaneously in the steeping process of corn, avoiding production costs. Nevertheless, the extraction of biosurfactants from CSW using sustainable processes is still a challenge. Consequently, the use of calcium alginate membranes could present a novel and sustainable technology for recovering biosurfactants from aqueous streams. Therefore, the aim of this work is to evaluate calcium alginate-based biopolymers, without and with the presence of grape marc as an additive, as a key component of membranes for the recovery of biosurfactants in corn steep water. Biosurfactants are present in CSW, together with other inorganic solutes and biomolecules, such as organic acids, sugars, cations, anions as well as metals. Hence, the competition of these mentioned compounds for the active sites of the calcium alginate-based biopolymers was high. However, they showed a good adsorption capacity for biosurfactants, recovering around 55 ± 2% and 47 ± 1%, of biosurfactants from CSW using both calcium alginate-based biopolymers, with and without biodegraded grape marc. Regarding adsorption capacity, it was 54.8 ± 0.6 mg biosurfactant/g bioadsorbent for the biopolymer containing grape marc, and 46.8 ± 0.4 mg biosurfactant/g bioadsorbent for the calcium alginate-based biopolymer alone. Based on these results, it could be postulated that the formulation of green membranes, based on calcium alginate-based polymers, could be an interesting alternative for the recovery of biosurfactants from aqueous streams including CSW.

Abstract
Cyclic lipopeptides produced by Bacillus species exhibit interesting therapeutic potential. However, their clinical use remains limited due to their low stability, undesirable interactions with host macromolecules, and their potential toxicity to mammalian cells. The present work aims to develop suitable lipopeptide-loaded chitosan nanoparticles with improved biological properties and reduced toxicity. Surfactin and bacillomycin D lipopeptides produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B84 strain were loaded onto chitosan nanoparticles by ionotropic gelation process. Nanoformulated lipopeptides exhibit an average size of 569 nm, a zeta potential range of 38.8 mV, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 85.58%. Treatment of Candida (C.) albicans cells with encapsulated lipopeptides induced anti-adhesive activity of 81.17% and decreased cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) by 25.53% at 2000 µg/mL. Nanoformulated lipopeptides also induced antileishmanial activity against Leishmania (L.) major promastigote and amastigote forms at respective IC50 values of 14.37 µg/mL and 22.45 µg/mL. Nanoencapsulated lipopeptides exerted low cytotoxicity towards human erythrocytes and Raw 264.7 macrophage cell line with respective HC50 and LC50 values of 770 µg/mL and 234.56 µg/mL. Nanoencapsulated lipopeptides could be used as a potential delivery system of lipopeptides to improve their anti-adhesive effect against C. albicans cells colonizing medical devices and their anti-infectious activity against leishmania.

Abstract
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic surface-active molecules of microbial origin principally produced by hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria; in addition to the bioremediation properties, they can also present antimicrobial activity. The present study highlights the chemical characterization and the antimicrobial activities of biosurfactants produced by deep-sea marine bacteria from the genera Halomonas, Bacillus, Streptomyces, and Pseudomonas. The biosurfactants were extracted and chemically characterized through Chromatography TLC, FT-IR, LC/ESI-MS/MS, and a metabolic analysis was done through molecular networking. Six biosurfactants were identified by dereplication tools from GNPS and some surfactin isoforms were identified by molecular networking. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of biosurfactant from Halomonas sp. INV PRT125 (7.27 mg L-1) and Halomonas sp. INV PRT124 (8.92 mg L-1) were most effective against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans ATCC 10231. For Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300, the biosurfactant from Bacillus sp. INV FIR48 was the most effective with IC50 values of 25.65 mg L-1 and 21.54 mg L-1 for C. albicans, without hemolytic effect (< 1%), and non-ecotoxic effect in brine shrimp larvae (Artemia franciscana), with values under 150 mg L-1, being a biosurfactant promising for further study. The extreme environments as deep-sea can be an important source for the isolation of new biosurfactants-producing microorganisms with environmental and pharmaceutical use.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis is ubiquitous and capable of producing various metabolites, which make the bacterium a good candidate as a biocontrol agent for managing plant diseases. In this study, a phyllosphere bacterium B. subtilis PMB102 isolated from tomato leaf was found to inhibit the growth of Alternaria brassicicola ABA-31 on PDA and suppress Alternaria leaf spot on Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa). The genome of PMB102 (Accession no. CP047645) was completely sequenced by Nanopore and Illumina technology to generate a circular chromosome of 4,103,088 bp encoding several gene clusters for synthesizing bioactive compounds. PMB102 and the other B. subtilis strains from different sources were compared in pangenome analysis to identify a suite of conserved genes involved in biocontrol and habitat adaptation. Two predicted gene products, surfactin and fengycin, were extracted from PMB102 culture filtrates and verified by LC-MS/MS. The antifungal activity of fengycin was tested on A. brassicicola ABA-31 in bioautography to inhibit hyphae growth, and in co-culturing assays to elicit the formation of swollen hyphae. Our data revealed that B. subtilis PMB102 suppresses Alternaria leaf spot by the production of antifungal metabolites, and fengycin plays an important role to inhibit the vegetative growth of A. brassicicola ABA-31.

[PMID: 34212287 DOI: 10.1007/s12275-021-1161-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Bacillus velezensis is a plant growth-promoting bacterium that can also inhibit plant pathogens. However, based on its properties, it is emerging as a probiotic in animal feed. This review focuses on the potential characteristics of B. velezensis for use as a probiotic in the animal feed industry. The review was conducted by collecting recently published articles from peer-reviewed journals. Google Scholar and PubMed were used as search engines to access published literature. Based on the information obtained, the data were divided into three groups to discuss the (i) probiotic characteristics of B. velezensis, (ii) probiotic potential for fish, and (iii) the future potential of this species to be developed as a probiotic for the animal feed industry. Different strains of B. velezensis isolated from different sources were found to have the ability to produce antimicrobial compounds and have a beneficial effect on the gut microbiota, with the potential to be a candidate probiotic in the animal feed industry. This review provides valuable information about the characteristics of B. velezensis, which can provide researchers with a better understanding of the use of this species in the animal feed industry.

Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26123488. [PMID: 34201182 PMCID: PMC8230125 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26123488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Most biosurfactants are obtained using costly culture media and purification processes, which limits their wider industrial use. Sustainability of their production processes can be achieved, in part, by using cheap substrates found among agricultural and food wastes or byproducts. In the present study, crude glycerol, a raw material obtained from several industrial processes, was evaluated as a potential low-cost carbon source to reduce the costs of surfactin production by Bacillus subtilis #309. The culture medium containing soap-derived waste glycerol led to the best surfactin production, reaching about 2.8 g/L. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing surfactin production by B. subtilis using stearin and soap wastes as carbon sources. A complete chemical characterization of surfactin analogs produced from the different waste glycerol samples was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermore, the surfactin produced in the study exhibited good stability in a wide range of pH, salinity and temperatures, suggesting its potential for several applications in biotechnology.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis produces a wide range of secondary metabolites providing diverse plant growth-promoting and biocontrol abilities. These secondary metabolites include nonribosomal peptides with strong antimicrobial properties, causing either cell lysis, pore formation in fungal membranes, inhibition of certain enzymes, or bacterial protein synthesis. However, the natural products of B. subtilis are mostly studied either in laboratory strains or in individual isolates, and therefore, a comparative overview of secondary metabolites from various environmental B. subtilis strains is missing. In this study, we isolated 23 B. subtilis strains from 11 sampling sites, compared the fungal inhibition profiles of wild types and their nonribosomal peptide mutants, followed the production of targeted lipopeptides, and determined the complete genomes of 13 soil isolates. We discovered that nonribosomal peptide production varied among B. subtilis strains coisolated from the same soil samples. In vitro antagonism assays revealed that biocontrol properties depend on the targeted plant pathogenic fungus and the tested B. subtilis isolate. While plipastatin alone is sufficient to inhibit Fusarium spp., a combination of plipastatin and surfactin is required to hinder growth of Botrytis cinerea Detailed genomic analysis revealed that altered nonribosomal peptide production profiles in specific isolates are due to missing core genes, nonsense mutation, or potentially altered gene regulation. Our study combines microbiological antagonism assays with chemical nonribosomal peptide detection and biosynthetic gene cluster predictions in diverse B. subtilis soil isolates to provide a broader overview of the secondary metabolite chemodiversity of B. subtilis IMPORTANCE Secondary or specialized metabolites with antimicrobial activities define the biocontrol properties of microorganisms. Members of the Bacillus genus produce a plethora of secondary metabolites, of which nonribosomally produced lipopeptides in particular display strong antifungal activity. To facilitate the prediction of the biocontrol potential of new Bacillus subtilis isolates, we have explored the in vitro antifungal inhibitory profiles of recent B. subtilis isolates, combined with analytical natural product chemistry, mutational analysis, and detailed genome analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters. Such a comparative analysis helped to explain why selected B. subtilis isolates lack the production of certain secondary metabolites.

Effect of zinc oxide nanoparticle supplementation on the enhanced production of surfactin and iturin lipopeptides of endophytic Bacillus sp. Fcl1 and its ameliorated antifungal activity. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:1035-1041.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipopeptides from the Bacillus spp. possess an excellent spectrum of antimicrobial properties which make them suitable candidates to be explored for the food, agricultural, pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications. As the low yield of the lipopeptides limits their applications, methods to enhance their production are highly significant. RESULTS In this study, extracts prepared from endophytic Bacillus sp. Fcl1 cultured in the presence of various supplements were screened for antifungal activity against Pythium aphanidermatum. From the results, the supplementation of carbon sources and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was found to have an enhancement effect on the antifungal activity of Bacillus sp. Fcl1. Among these, the highest antifungal activity (73.2%) could be observed for the Fcl1 sample cultured with 5 mg L-1 of ZnONP supplementation. The growth of Fcl1 in the presence of ZnONPs also indicated its compatibility with the nano-supplement in the concentration range used. By liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF-MS) analysis, the synthesis of increased numbers of lipopeptide surfactin derivatives could be identified from the extracts of Fcl1 prepared from the carbon sources and ZnONP-supplemented cultures. In addition to the surfactin derivatives, the presence of another lipopeptide iturin was also detected from the extracts of Fcl1 cultured with ZnONPs. CONCLUSION ZnONP supplementation was found to enhance antifungal activity and lipopeptide production in the Bacillus sp. Fcl1. The use of nanoparticles to enhance the antifungal mechanisms of Fcl1 as observed in the study provides novel insights to explore its applications for sustainable agricultural productivity.

Abstract
Members of the genus Malassezia are known to be opportunistic pathogens responsible for causing skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff, pityriasis versicolor, folliculitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Due to the side effects caused by prolonged use of current topical antifungal agents, development of an alternative treatment is necessary. Fermentative production of antimicrobial metabolites from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MTCC 10456 was carried out, and their antagonistic activity against Malassezia furfur and Malassezia globosa was evaluated. The antifungal metabolites were isolated by acid precipitation, and bioassay-guided simultaneous separation of the antimicrobial compounds was done by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The fraction which demonstrated antifungal activity consisted of bacilysin, homologues of bacillomycin D, and members of the macrolactin family. The presence of bacilysin was detected using specific inhibitor assays and homologues of bacillomycin D, and macrolactins were identified using liquid chromatography/high-resolution electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC/HRESI-MS/MS) analysis. Synergism among the identified compounds was observed which enhanced the antagonistic activity against Malassezia spp. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the co-production and separation of members of macrolactin antibiotics, lipopeptides such as bacillomycin D and dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin, by any Bacillus strain from marine environment. Activity of individual compounds against Malassezia has been reported which may facilitate their application in the field of dermatology and in cosmetic products.

Abstract
Plant diseases have been threatening food production. Controlling plant pathogens has become an important strategy to ensure food security. Although chemical control is an effective disease control strategy, its application is limited by many problems, such as environmental impact and pathogen resistance. In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to develop more chemical reagents with new functional mechanisms. Due to their special living environment, marine organisms have produced a variety of bioactive compounds with novel structures, which have the potential to develop new fungicides. In the past two decades, screening marine bioactive compounds to inhibit plant pathogens has been a hot topic. In this review, we summarize the screening methods of marine active substances from plant pathogens, the identification of marine active substances from different sources, and the structure and antibacterial mechanism of marine active natural products. Finally, the application prospect of marine bioactive substances in plant disease control was prospected.

Abstract
Phytopathogenic diseases are a major concern in modern agriculture, and for decades, pesticides have been used to prevent potential damage. Bacillus megaterium is proposed as a biological controlling agent, and gene expression of the lipopeptide genes FEND and ITUDI was assessed using RT-qPCR. Inhibition effects of B. megaterium on Alternaria sp. and Botrytis sp. were examined over a period of nine days, which confirmed the potential use of this bacterium to counteract these two pathogens. In addition, expression of FEND and ITUDI genes was assessed over nine days in the aforementioned dual cultures and inhibition tests. FEND expression in B. megaterium increased 20.16-fold in response to Alternaria sp., and ITUDI expression increased 3.20-fold in response to Botrytis sp. on day five of incubation. These results were corroborated by gene expression data obtained from B. megaterium during fermentation, where FEND and ITUDI gene expression increased 95.14- and 18.70-fold, respectively. In conclusion, B. megaterium can increase lipopeptide synthesis when exposed to these particular phytopathogens and can significantly increase the respective expression during fermentation.

Abstract
Corrugated cardboard boxes are one of the largest paper-based packaging forms used for shipping and handling of wide variety of products in different end-use industries due to low cost, low weight and recyclability. Due to its organic composition, they are highly susceptible to spoilage from heat-resistant microbial spores, leading to economic losses and health risks. In this study, the efficacy of lipopeptides produced from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MTCC 10456 against thermotolerant Thermoascus crustaceus, Neosartorya hiratsukae and Bacillus subtilis, isolated from spoiled cardboard boxes, was investigated. Lipopeptides were isolated by salt-precipitation of fermentation broth and activity-guided Reverse Phase-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). Inhibitory fractions consisted of bacillomycin D and surfactin, which were identified using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis. Mixture of lipopeptides with nisin (3:2 w/w) asserted significant synergistic effect on the tested pathogens which reduced the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values and increased their inhibition spectra. Preservative coating containing lipopeptides and nisin was applied on the corrugated cardboard surfaces by mixing with starch-based additive by spread-coating method. It demonstrated biopreservative efficacy against the targeted microorganisms at during the observational period of 180 days. Reduction in microbial count of 4 log cycles was observed in 20 days and showed controlled release of coated peptides which indicate its suitability for packaging purposes. Findings from this study suggests an effective and scalable strategy to prevent microbial spoilage thereby extending the storage period of cardboard boxes.

Abstract
In this study, the lipopeptide biosurfactant was extracted, purified and characterized from the Bacillus isolate LK5.4 obtained from kinema samples of Sikkim. Plant growth-promoting property of the biosurfactant producing bacterium was also evaluated. Out of fifty-seven isolates, only ten were biosurfactant producer as determined by the oil displacement test. Bacillus isolate LK5.4 showed the maximum emulsification index (52.3 ± 0.02), reduced surface tension up to 40% and produced 754 mgL-1 biosurfactant in the nutrient broth. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the isolate LK5.4 was identified as B. tequilensis. Biosurfactant was purified by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Evaluation of the chemical characteristics by TLC, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy identified the biosurfactant as surfactin. The effect of different concentration of biosurfactant in maize seed germination was evaluated under in vitro condition. It showed the fastest growth of seedlings at 300 µg/ml biosurfactant solution. Similar results were shown by the potted plant experiment, where the soil was directly treated with biosurfactant producing bacterium LK5.4. The LK5.4 treated plants showed a mean height of 29.17 ± 0.47 cm and mean leaf length of 18.42 ± 0.17 cm while the mean height and mean length of the leaf were 15.48 ± 0.98 cm and 11.12 ± 0.40 cm respectively in the control plants. The treated plants had higher moisture content (68.48 ± 2.79%) than the control plants (50.53 ± 1.63%), which is because of higher bioadsorption in the treated plants. These results provided indirect evidence of plant growth-promoting property of the biosurfactant.

Abstract
Background There is an urgent need to discover biocontrol agents to control bacterial wilt. This study reports on a new lipopeptide-producing biocontrol strain FJAT-46737 and explores its lipopeptidic compounds, and this study investigates the antagonistic effects of these compounds. Results Based on a whole genome sequence analysis, the new strain FJAT-46737 was identified as Bacillus velezensis, and seven gene clusters responsible for the synthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites in FJAT-46737 were predicted. The antimicrobial results demonstrated that FJAT-46737 exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities in vitro against three bacteria and three fungi. Pot experiments showed that the control efficiencies for tomato bacterial wilt of the whole cultures, the 2-fold diluted supernatants and the crude lipopeptide of FJAT-46737 were 66.2%, 82.0%, and 96.2%, respectively. The above results suggested that one of the antagonistic mechanisms of FJAT-46737 was the secretion of lipopeptides consisting of iturins, fengycins and surfactins. The crude lipopeptides had significant antagonistic activities against several pathogens (including Ralstonia solanacearum, Escherichia coli and Fusarium oxysporum) and fengycins were the major antibacterial components of the lipopeptides against R. solanacearum in vitro. Furthermore, the rich organic nitrogen sources (especially yeast extracts) in the media promoted the production of fengycin and surfactin by FJAT-46737. The secretion of these two lipopeptides was related to temperature fluctuations, with the fengycin content decreasing by 96.6% and the surfactins content increasing by 59.9% from 20 °C to 40 °C. The optimal temperature for lipopeptide production by FJAT-46737 varied between 20 °C and 25 °C. Conclusions The B. velezensis strain FJAT-46737 and its secreted lipopeptides could be used as new sources of potential biocontrol agents against several plant pathogens, and especially the bacterial wilt pathogen R. solanacearum.

Abstract
An antimicrobial substance producing strain designated as A52 was isolated from a marine sediment sample and identified as Bacillus sp., based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The ANI and dDDH analysis of the genome sequence displayed high identity with two strains of B. subtilis sub sp. subtilis. Strain A52 yielded two antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that differed in activity spectrum. MALDI mass spectrometry analysis of HPLC purified fractions revealed mass of peptides as 3881.6 and 1061.9 Da. The antiSMASH analysis of genome sequence unraveled presence of identical biosynthetic cluster involved in production of sublancin from B. subtilis sub sp. subtilis strain 168, which yielded peptide with identical mass. The low molecular weight peptide is found to be a cyclic lipopeptide containing C16 β-hydroxy fatty acid that resembled surfactin-like group of biosurfactants. However, it differed in fatty acid composition and antimicrobial spectrum in comparison to other surfactins produced by strains of B. subtilis. It exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity, inhibited growth of pathogenic strains of Candida and filamentous fungi. Further, it exhibited hemolytic activity, but did not show phytotoxic effect in seed germination experiment. The emulgel formulation of surfactin-like lipopeptide showed antimicrobial activity in vitro and did not show any irritation effects in animal studies using BALB/c mice. Moreover, surfactin-like lipopeptide displayed synergistic activity with fluconazole against Candida, indicating its potential for external therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Alternaria japonica causes annual losses of up to 25 % of the world broccoli crops, for this reason this research focused on the development of biopreparations containing Bacillus megaterium to prevent the outbreak of this disease caused by Alternaria japonica in the crop of Brassica oleracea var. italica. During the laboratory phase two types of biopreparations were evaluated, the first biopreparation was obtained by liquid fermentation composed of 40 g.L-1 of fava bean flour and 5 g.L-1 of ground brown sugar. This showed a maximum cell growth of 3.8 × 108 CFU. mL-1; while the second biopreparation was obtained by solid fermentation composed of wheat bran and it achieved a maximum cell growth of 4.7 × 109 CFU. g-1. In the fieldwork phase the aforementioned biopreparations were applied in an open-field crop. At the end of the cultivation period, the degree of the disease in leaves and in the inflorescences was measured and through the statistical analysis, a significant difference was evidenced (α = 0.05). On the broccoli leaves the disease index values do not exceed 15.56 % and the disease index for postharvest florets was around 38 %. The evaluated variables showed a statistical similarity with the chemical treatment, thus determining the effective effect of the biopreparations.

Abstract
Recent advancements in the use of microbial cells for scalable production of industrial enzymes encourage exploring new environments for efficient microbial cell factories (MCFs). Here, through a comparison study, ten newly sequenced Bacillus species, isolated from the Rabigh Harbor Lagoon on the Red Sea shoreline, were evaluated for their potential use as MCFs. Phylogenetic analysis of 40 representative genomes with phylogenetic relevance, including the ten Red Sea species, showed that the Red Sea species come from several colonization events and are not the result of a single colonization followed by speciation. Moreover, clustering reactions in reconstruct metabolic networks of these Bacillus species revealed that three metabolic clades do not fit the phylogenetic tree, a sign of convergent evolution of the metabolism of these species in response to special environmental adaptation. We further showed Red Sea strains Bacillus paralicheniformis (Bac48) and B. halosaccharovorans (Bac94) had twice as much secreted proteins than the model strain B. subtilis 168. Also, Bac94 was enriched with genes associated with the Tat and Sec protein secretion system and Bac48 has a hybrid PKS/NRPS cluster that is part of a horizontally transferred genomic region. These properties collectively hint towards the potential use of Red Sea Bacillus as efficient protein secreting microbial hosts, and that this characteristic of these strains may be a consequence of the unique ecological features of the isolation environment.

Abstract
A bacterial isolate screened from wet land soil sample, found to posses antimicrobial activity against an array of fungal plant pathogens viz., Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, Alternaria solani, Fusarium oxysporum under in vitro dual culture plate assay. Further the isolate was identified into Bacillus amyloliquefaciens based on 16S rRNA sequencing. The antimicrobial fraction from the extracellular supernatant of the isolate comprises chiefly of surfactin molecules and also iturin and fengycin group of compounds. The surfactins were partially purified by tangential flow ultra-filtration and quantified with liquid chromatography yielding 316.1 mg L-1. Further the surfactin molecules were characterized by HPLC separation, FT-IR, LC-MS spectroscopy and PCR amplification of antibiotic genes. The surfactin molecule with m/z 1022 performed for MS-MS fragmentation and produced two different patterns of ion dissociation.

Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important crop and a primary food source for more than half of the world's population. Notably, scientists in China have developed several types of rice that can be grown in seawater, avoiding the use of precious freshwater resources and potentially creating enough food for 200 million people. The plant-affecting fungus Magnaporthe grisea is the causal agent of rice blast disease, and biological rather than chemical control of this threatening disease is highly desirable. In this work, we discovered fengycin BS155, a cyclic lipopeptide material produced by the marine bacterium Bacillus subtilis BS155, which showed strong activity against M. grisea. Our results elucidate the mechanism of fengycin BS155-mediated M. grisea growth inhibition and highlight the potential of B. subtilis BS155 as a biocontrol agent against M. grisea in rice cultivation under both fresh- and saltwater conditions. Rice blast caused by the phytopathogen Magnaporthe grisea poses a serious threat to global food security and is difficult to control. Bacillus species have been extensively explored for the biological control of many fungal diseases. In the present study, the marine bacterium Bacillus subtilis BS155 showed a strong antifungal activity against M. grisea. The active metabolites were isolated and identified as cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) of the fengycin family, named fengycin BS155, by the combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Analyses using scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that fengycin BS155 caused morphological changes in the plasma membrane and cell wall of M. grisea hyphae. Using comparative proteomic and biochemical assays, fengycin BS155 was demonstrated to reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), induce bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and downregulate the expression level of ROS-scavenging enzymes. Simultaneously, fengycin BS155 caused chromatin condensation in fungal hyphal cells, which led to the upregulation of DNA repair-related protein expression and the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Altogether, our results indicate that fengycin BS155 acts by inducing membrane damage and dysfunction of organelles, disrupting MMP, oxidative stress, and chromatin condensation, resulting in M. grisea hyphal cell death. Therefore, fengycin BS155 and its parent bacterium are very promising candidates for the biological control of M. grisea and the associated rice blast and should be further investigated as such.

Abstract
Chemical examination of the octocoral-associated Bacillus species (sp.) DT001 led to the isolation of pumilacidins A (1) and C (2). We investigated the effect of these compounds on the viability of Plasmodium falciparum and the mechanism of pumilacidin-induced death. The use of inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) was able to prevent the effects of pumilacidins A and C. The results indicated also that pumilacidins inhibit parasite growth via mitochondrial dysfunction and decreased cytosolic Ca2+.

Abstract
In recent years, the decreased efficacy of existing antibiotics toward management of emergent drug-resistant strains has necessitated the search for novel antibiotics from natural products. In this regard, Bacillus sp is well known for producing variety of secondary metabolites of potential use. Therefore, we performed an investigation to isolate and identify Bacillus sp from oral cavity for production of novel antimicrobial compounds. We extracted, purified, and identified a novel bioactive compound by B. megaterium (KC246043.1). The optimal production of compound was observed on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe broth by incubating at 37 °C, and pH 7.0 for 4 days. The bioactive compound was extracted by using n-butanol (2:1 v/v), purified on TLC plates with detection at Rf 7.8 cm; further characterized and identified as a cyclic ploypeptide sharing structural similarity with bacitracin. Minimum inhibitory concentration of bioactive compound was found to be 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 3.125 and 6.25 μg/ml against Micrococcus luteus ATCC10240, Salmonella typhi ATCC19430, Escherichia coli ATCC35218. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 respectively, with no activity against Candida albicans ATCC10231. Our findings have revealed a novel cyclic peptide compound from B. megaterium with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has become one of the world’s most severe problems because of the overuse of antibiotics. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are more difficult to kill and more expensive to treat. Researchers have been studied on antibiotic alternatives such as antimicrobial peptides and lipopeptides. A functional bacteria MB01 producing lipopeptides which can be used as bacteriostat was isolated from the Bohai Sea sediments, which had been identified as Bacillus licheniformis by the morphological, physiological, and biochemical identification and 16s rDNA sequence. The lipopeptides produced by MB01 were determined to be cyclic surfactin homologs by LC-ESI-MS structural identification after crude extraction and LH-20 chromatography. [M+H]+m/z 994, 1008, 1022, and 1036 were all the characteristic molecular weight of surfactin homologs. CID analysis revealed that the molecular structure of the lipopeptides was Rn-Glu1-Leu/Ile2-Leu3-Val4-Asp5-Leu6-Leu/Ile7. The lipopeptides showed well resistance to UV light and the change of pH and temperature.
