Abstract
Paenibacillus polymyxa (P. polymyxa) is a member of the genus Paenibacillus, which is a rod-shaped, spore-forming gram-positive bacterium. P. polymyxa is a source of many metabolically active substances, including polypeptides, volatile organic compounds, phytohormone, hydrolytic enzymes, exopolysaccharide (EPS), etc. Due to the wide range of compounds that it produces, P. polymyxa has been extensively studied as a plant growth promoting bacterium which provides a direct benefit to plants through the improvement of N fixation from the atmosphere and enhancement of the solubilization of phosphorus and the uptake of iron in the soil, and phytohormones production. Among the metabolites from P. polymyxa, EPS exhibits many activities, for example, antioxidant, immunomodulating, anti-tumor and many others. EPS has various applications in food, agriculture, environmental protection. Particularly, in the field of sustainable agriculture, P. polymyxa EPS can be served as a biofilm to colonize microbes, and also can act as a nutrient sink on the roots of plants in the rhizosphere. Therefore, this paper would provide a comprehensive review of the advancements of diverse aspects of EPS from P. polymyxa, including the production, extraction, structure, biosynthesis, bioactivity and applications, etc. It would provide a direction for future research on P. polymyxa EPS.

Abstract
Paenibacillus polymyxa is a non-pathogenic, Gram-positive bacterium endowed with a rich and versatile metabolism. However interesting, this bacterium has been seldom used for bioproduction thus far. In this study, we engineered P. polymyxa for isobutanol production, a relevant bulk chemical and next-generation biofuel. A CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing tool facilitated the chromosomal integration of a synthetic operon to establish isobutanol production. The 2,3-butanediol biosynthesis pathway, leading to the main fermentation product of P. polymyxa, was eliminated. A mutant strain harbouring the synthetic isobutanol operon (kdcA from Lactococcus lactis, and the native ilvC, ilvD and adh genes) produced 1 g L-1 isobutanol under microaerobic conditions. Improving NADPH regeneration by overexpression of the malic enzyme subsequently increased the product titre by 50%. Network-wide proteomics provided insights into responses of P. polymyxa to isobutanol and revealed a significant metabolic shift caused by alcohol production. Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase, the key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, was identified as a bottleneck that hindered efficient NADPH regeneration through this pathway. Furthermore, we conducted culture optimization towards cultivating P. polymyxa in a synthetic minimal medium. We identified biotin (B7), pantothenate (B5) and folate (B9) to be mutual essential vitamins for P. polymyxa. Our rational metabolic engineering of P. polymyxa for the production of a heterologous chemical sheds light on the metabolism of this bacterium towards further biotechnological exploitation.

Abstract
Due to its bioactivity and versatile applications, levan has appeared as a promising biomaterial. Levansucrase is responsible for the conversion of sucrose into levan. With the goal of enhancing levan production, the strategy for enhancing the stability of levansucrase is being intensively studied. To make proteins more stable under high temperatures, proline, the most rigid residue, can be introduced into previously flexible regions. Herein, G249, D250, N251, and H252 on the flexible coil close to the calcium binding site of Bacillus licheniformis levansucrase were replaced with proline. Mutations at G249P greatly enhance both the enzyme's thermodynamic and kinetic stability, while those at H252P improve solely the enzyme's kinetic stability. GPC analysis revealed that G249P synthesize more levan, but H252P generate primarily oligosaccharides. Molecular dynamics simulations (MD) and MM/GBSA analysis revealed that G249P mutation increased not only the stability of levansucrase, but also affinity toward fructan.

Abstract
2,3-Butanediol is an essential renewable fuel. The synthesis of 2,3-butanediol using Paenibacillus polymyxa has attracted increasing attention. In this study, the glucose-derived 2,3-butanediol pathway and its related genes were identified in P. polymyxa using combined transcriptome and metabolome analyses. The functions of two distinct genes ldh1 and ldh3 encoding lactate dehydrogenase, the gene bdh encoding butanediol dehydrogenase, and the spore-forming genes spo0A and spoIIE were studied and directly knocked out or overexpressed in the genome sequence to improve the production of 2,3-butanediol. A raw hydrolysate of poplar wood containing 27 g/L glucose and 15 g/L xylose was used to produce 2,3-butanediol with a maximum yield of 0.465 g/g and 93 % of the maximum theoretical value, and the total production of 2,3-butanediol and ethanol reached 21.7 g/L. This study provides a new scheme for engineered P. polymyxa to produce renewable fuels using raw poplar wood hydrolysates.

Abstract
Considered a "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) bacterium, the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Paenibacillus has been widely applied in: agriculture, medicine, industry, and environmental remediation. Paenibacillus species not only accelerate plant growth and degrade toxic substances in wastewater and soil but also produce industrially-relevant enzymes and antimicrobial peptides. Due to a lack of genetic manipulation tools and methods, exploitation of the bioresources of naturally isolated Paenibacillus species has long been limited. Genetic manipulation tools and methods continue to improve in Paenibacillus, such as shuttle plasmids, promoters, and genetic tools of CRISPR. Furthermore, genetic transformation systems develop gradually, including: penicillin-mediated transformation, electroporation, and magnesium amino acid-mediated transformation. As genetic manipulation methods of homologous recombination and CRISPR-mediated editing system have developed gradually, Paenibacillus has come to be regarded as a promising microbial chassis for biomanufacturing, expanding its application scope, such as: industrial enzymes, bioremediation and bioadsorption, surfactants, and antibacterial agents. In this review, we describe the applications of Paenibacillus bioproducts, and then discuss recent advances and future challenges in the development of genetic manipulation systems in this genus. This work highlights the potential of Paenibacillus as a new microbial chassis for mining bioresources.

Abstract
This study investigated the antivirulence capacity and mechanism of apple-skin-derived phloretin against Serratia marcescens NJ01, a vegetable spoilage bacterium. At 0.5 to 2 mg/mL doses, phloretin considerably inhibited the secretion of acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), indicating that phloretin disrupted quorum sensing (QS) in S. marcescens NJ01. The dysfunction of QS resulted in reduced biofilms and the decreased production of protease, prodigiosin, extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs), and swimming and swarming motilities. Dysfunctional QS also weakened the activity of antioxidant enzymes and improved oxidative injury. The improved oxidative injury changed the composition of the membrane, improved membrane permeability, and eventually increased the susceptibility of biofilm cells to amikacin, netilmicin, and imipenem. The disrupted QS and enhanced oxidative stress also caused disorders of amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, and nucleic acid metabolism, and ultimately attenuated the ability of S. marcescens NJ01 to induce spoilage. Our results indicated that phloretin can act as a potent drug to defend against spoilage by S. marcescens.

Abstract
Paenibacillus antarcticus IPAC21, an endospore-forming and bioemulsifier-producing strain, was isolated from King George Island, Antarctica. As psychrotolerant/psychrophilic bacteria can be considered promising sources for novel products such as bioactive compounds and other industrially relevant substances/compounds, the IPAC21 genome was sequenced using Illumina Hi-seq, and a search for genes related to the production of bioemulsifiers and other metabolic pathways was performed. The IPAC21 strain has a genome of 5,505,124 bp and a G + C content of 40.5%. Genes related to the biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides, such as the gene that encodes the extracellular enzyme levansucrase responsible for the synthesis of levan, the 2,3-butanediol pathway, PTS sugar transporters, cold-shock proteins, and chaperones were found in its genome. IPAC21 cell-free supernatants obtained after cell growth in trypticase soy broth at different temperatures were evaluated for bioemulsifier production by the emulsification index (EI) using hexadecane, kerosene and diesel. EI values higher than 50% were obtained using the three oil derivatives when IPAC21 was grown at 28°C. The bioemulsifier produced by P. antarcticus IPAC21 was stable at different NaCl concentrations, low temperatures and pH values, suggesting its potential use in lower and moderate temperature processes in the petroleum industry.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to improve resource use efficiency in agricultural systems and agro-based industries, reduce wastes that go to landfills and incinerators, and consequently, improve the economics of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) production. This study evaluated the feasibility of 2,3-BD production by replacing the mineral nutrients, and buffers with anaerobic digestate (ADE), poultry-litter (PLBC)- and forage-sorghum (FSBC)-derived biochars. Fermentation media formulations with ADE and 5–20 g/L PLBC or FSBC were evaluated for 2,3-BD production using Paenibacillus polymyxa as a biocatalyst. An optimized medium containing nutrients and buffers served as control. While 2,3-BD production in the ADE cultures was 0.5-fold of the maximum generated in the control cultures, 2,3-BD produced in the PLBC and FSBC cultures were ~1.3-fold more than the control (33.6 g/L). Cost analysis showed that ADE and biochar can replace mineral nutrients and buffers in the medium with the potential to make bio-based 2,3-BD production profitably feasible.

Abstract
Approximately 30% or more of the total proteins annotated from sequenced bacteria genomes are annotated as hypothetical or uncharacterized proteins. However, elucidation on the function of these proteins is hindered by the lack of simple and rapid screening methods, particularly with novel or hard-to-transform bacteria. In this report, we employed cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) -peptide nucleotide acid (PNA) conjugates to elucidate the function of such uncharacterized proteins in vivo within the native bacterium. Paenibacillus, a hard-to-transform bacterial genus, was used as a model. Two hypothetical genes showing amino acid sequence similarity to ι-carrageenases, termed cgiA and cgiB, were identified from the draft genome of Paenibacillus sp. strain YYML68, and CPP-PNA probes targeting the mRNA of the acyl carrier protein gene, acpP, and the two ι-carrageenase candidate genes were synthesized. Upon direct incubation of CPP-PNA targeting the mRNA of the acpP gene, we successfully observed growth inhibition of strain YYML68 in a concentration-dependent manner. Similarly, both the function of the candidate ι-carrageenases were also inhibited using our CPP-PNA probes allowing for the confirmation and characterization of these hypothetical proteins. In summary, we believe that CPP-PNA conjugates can serve as a simple and efficient alternative approach to characterize proteins in the native bacterium.

Abstract
The persistence of Staphylococcus aureus within biofilm can lead to contamination of medical devices and life-threatening infections. Luckily, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have an inhibitory effect on the growth of these bacteria. This study aims to select LAB strains from fermented vegetables, and analyze their potential inhibition activities against S. aureus. In total, 45 isolates of LAB were successfully isolated from Sichuan pickles, and the CFS of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LR-14 exerted the strongest inhibitory effect against S. aureus. Moreover, S. aureus cells in planktonic and biofilm states both wrinkled and damaged when treated with the CFS of L. plantarum LR-14. In addition, whole genome sequencing analysis indicates that L. plantarum LR-14 contains various functional genes, including predicted extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) biosynthesis genes, and genes participating in the synthesis and metabolism of fatty acid, implying that L. plantarum LR-14 has the potential to be used as a probiotic with multiple functions.

Background Paenibacillus polymyxa is a typical plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR), and synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is one of the reasons for its growth-promoting capacity. The synthetic pathways of IAA in P. polymyxa must be identified and modified. Results P. polymyxa SC2 and its spontaneous mutant SC2-M1 could promote plant growth by directly secreting IAA. Through metabonomic and genomic analysis, the genes patA, ilvB3, and fusE in the native IPyA pathway of IAA synthesis in strain SC2-M1 were predicted. A novel strong promoter P04420 was rationally selected, synthetically analyzed, and then evaluated on its ability to express IAA synthetic genes. Co-expression of three genes, patA, ilvB3, and fusE, increased IAA yield by 60% in strain SC2-M1. Furthermore, the heterogeneous gene iaam of the IAM pathway and two heterogeneous IPyA pathways of IAA synthesis were selected to improve the IAA yield of strain SC2-M1. The genes ELJP6_14505, ipdC, and ELJP6_00725 of the entire IPyA pathway from Enterobacter ludwigii JP6 were expressed well by promoter P04420 in strain SC2-M1 and increased IAA yield in the engineered strain SC2-M1 from 13 to 31 μg/mL, which was an increase of 138%. Conclusions The results of our study help reveal and enhance the IAA synthesis pathways of P. polymyxa and its future application.

Abstract
Brewers' spent grains (BSG) are a by-product of the brewing industry that is mainly used as feedstock; otherwise, it has to be disposed according to regulations. Due to the high content of glucose and xylose, after pretreatment and hydrolysis, it can be used as a main carbohydrate source for cultivation of microorganisms for production of biofuels or biochemicals like 2,3-butanediol or lactate. 2,3-Butanediol has applications in the pharmaceutical or chemical industry as a precursor for varnishes and paints or in the food industry as an aroma compound. So far, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, Clostridium sp., and Enterobacter aerogenes are being used and investigated in different bioprocesses aimed at the production of 2,3-butanediol. The main drawback is bacterial pathogenicity which complicates all production steps in laboratory, pilot, and industrial scales. In our study, a gram-positive GRAS bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa DSM 742 was used for the production of 2,3-butanediol. Since this strain is very poorly described in literature, bacterium cultivation was performed in media with different glucose and/or xylose concentration ranges. The highest 2,3-butanediol concentration of 18.61 g l-1 was achieved in medium with 70 g l-1 of glucose during 40 h of fermentation. In contrast, during bacterium cultivation in xylose containing medium there was no significant 2,3-butanediol production. In the next stage, BSG hydrolysates were used for bacterial cultivation. P. polymyxa DSM 742 cultivated in the liquid phase of pretreated BSG produced very low 2,3-butanediol and ethanol concentrations. Therefore, this BSG hydrolysate has to be detoxified in order to remove bacterial growth inhibitors. After detoxification, bacterium cultivation resulted in 30 g l-1 of lactate, while production of 2,3-butanediol was negligible. The solid phase of pretreated BSG was also used for bacterium cultivation after its hydrolysis by commercial enzymes. In these cultivations, P. polymyxa DSM 742 produced 9.8 g l-1 of 2,3-butanediol and 3.93 g l-1 of ethanol. On the basis of the obtained results, it can be concluded that different experimental setups give the possibility of directing the metabolism of P. polymyxa DSM 742 toward the production of either 2,3-butanediol and ethanol or lactate.

Abstract
To improve the screening efficiency of high-yield neomycin sulfate (NM) Streptomyces fradiae strains after mutagenesis, a high-throughput screening method using streptomycin resistance prescreening (8 μg/mL) and a 24-deep well plates/microplate reader (trypan blue spectrophotometry) rescreening strategy was developed. Using this approach, we identified a high-producing NM mutant strain, Sf6-2, via six rounds of atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis and screening. The mutant displayed a NM potency of 7780 ± 110 U/mL and remarkably stable genetic properties over six generations. Furthermore, the key components (soluble starch, peptone, and (NH4)2SO4) affecting NM potency in fermentation medium were selected using Plackett-Burman and optimized by Box-Behnken designs. Finally, the NM potency of Sf6-2 was increased to 10,849 ± 141 U/mL at the optimal concentration of each factor (73.98 g/L, 9.23 g/L, and 5.99 g/L, respectively), and it exhibited about a 40% and 100% enhancement when compared with before optimization conditions and the wild-type strain, respectively. In this study, we provide a new S. fradiae NM production strategy and generate valuable insights for the breeding and screening of other microorganisms.

Abstract
Paenibacilli are efficient producers of potent agents against bacterial and fungal pathogens, which are of great interest both for therapeutic applications in medicine as well as in agrobiotechnology. Lipopeptides produced by such organisms play a major role in their potential to inactivate pathogens. In this work we investigated two lipopeptide complexes, the fusaricidins and the polymyxins, produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa strains DSM 32871 and M1 by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The fusaricidins show potent antifungal activities and are distinguished by an unusual variability. For strain DSM 32871 we identified numerous yet unknown variants mass spectrometrically. DSM 32871 produces polymyxins of type E (colistins), while M1 forms polymyxins P. For both strains, novel but not yet completely characterized polymyxin species were detected, which possibly are glycosylated. These compounds may be of interest therapeutically, because polymyxins have gained increasing attention as last-resort antibiotics against multiresistant pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, the volatilomes of DSM 32781 and M1 were investigated with a GC–MS approach using different cultivation media. Production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was strain and medium dependent. In particular, strain M1 manifested as an efficient VOC-producer that exhibited formation of 25 volatiles in total. A characteristic feature of Paenibacilli is the formation of volatile pyrazine derivatives.
