Abstract
Covering: up to October 2023Many bioactive natural products are synthesized by microorganisms that are either difficult or impossible to cultivate under laboratory conditions, or that produce only small amounts of the desired compound. By transferring biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) into alternative host organisms that are more easily cultured and engineered, larger quantities can be obtained and new analogues with potentially improved biological activity or other desirable properties can be generated. Moreover, expression of cryptic BGCs in a suitable host can facilitate the identification and characterization of novel natural products. Heterologous expression therefore represents a valuable tool for natural product discovery and engineering as it allows the study and manipulation of their biosynthetic pathways in a controlled setting, enabling innovative applications. Bacillus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria that is widely used in industrial biotechnology as a host for the production of proteins from diverse origins, including enzymes and vaccines. However, despite numerous successful examples, Bacillus species remain underexploited as heterologous hosts for the expression of natural product BGCs. Here, we review important advantages that Bacillus species offer as expression hosts, such as high secretion capacity, natural competence for DNA uptake, and the increasing availability of a wide range of genetic tools for gene expression and strain engineering. We evaluate different strain optimization strategies and other critical factors that have improved the success and efficiency of heterologous natural product biosynthesis in B. subtilis. Finally, future perspectives for using B. subtilis as a heterologous host are discussed, identifying research gaps and promising areas that require further exploration.

Abstract
Bacillus sp. has proven to be a goldmine of diverse bioactive lipopeptides, finding wide-range of industrial applications. This review highlights the importance of three major families of lipopeptides (iturin, fengycin, and surfactin) produced by Bacillus sp. and their diverse activities against plant pathogens. This review also emphasizes the role of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) as significant enzymes responsible for synthesizing these lipopeptides, contributing to their peptide diversity. Literature showed that these lipopeptides exhibit potent antifungal activity against various plant pathogens and highlight their specific mechanisms, such as siderophore activity, pore-forming properties, biofilm inhibition, and dislodging activity. The novelty of this review comes from its comprehensive coverage of Bacillus sp. lipopeptides, their production, classification, mechanisms of action, and potential applications in plant protection. It also emphasizes the importance of ongoing research for developing new and enhanced antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, this review article highlights the need for future research to improve the production efficiency of these lipopeptides for commercial applications. It recognizes the potential for these lipopeptides to expand the field of biological pest management for both existing and emerging plant diseases.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis HNDF2-3 can produce a variety of lipopeptide antibiotics with lower production. To improve its lipopeptide production, three genetically engineered strains were constructed. The results of real-time PCR showed that the highest transcriptional levels of the sfp gene in F2-3sfp, F2-3comA and F2-3sfp-comA were 29.01, 6.65 and 17.50 times of the original strain, respectively, while the highest transcriptional levels of the comA gene in F2-3comA and F2-3sfp-comA were 10.44 and 4.13 times of the original strain, respectively. The results of ELISA showed that the malonyl-CoA transacylase activity of F2-3comA was the highest, reaching 18.53 IU/L at 24 h, the data was 32.74% higher than that of the original strain. The highest total lipopeptide production of F2-3sfp, F2-3comA and F2-3sfp-comA induced by IPTG at optimal concentration were 33.51, 46.05 and 38.96% higher than that of the original strain, respectively. The results of HPLC showed that iturin A production of F2-3sfp-comA was the highest, which was 63.16% higher than that of the original strain. This study laid the foundation for further construction of genetically engineered strains with high lipopeptide production.

Abstract
The usage of microorganisms as biocontrol agents and biofertilizers has been recommended and recognized as an ecologically correct alternative to maintaining the productivity and safety of crops. Thus, the objectives of this work were to characterize twelve strains belonging to Invertebrate Bacteria Collection of Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology by molecular, morphological, and biochemical methods and to evaluate the pathogenicity of these strains against pests and diseases of agricultural interest. The morphological characteristic of the strains was performed according to the principles of Bergy's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. The genomes of the 12 strains were sequenced in Macrogen, Inc. (Seoul, Korea) using the HiSeq2000 and GS-FLX Plus high-performance platforms. In the determination of antibiotic sensibility profiles, disc-diffusion methods (Cefar Diagnótica Ltda) were adopted©. Selective bioassays were carried out with insects of the Lepidoptera (Spodoptera frugiperda, Helicoverpa armigera, and Chrysodeixis includens), Coleoptera (Anthonomus grandis), Diptera (Aedes aegypti) and Hemiptera (Euschistus heros) orders, and with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In addition, the antagonistic action of the phytopathogens Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum against the strains under study, and in vitro assays of phosphate solubilization were also performed. Sequencing of the complete genome of the 12 strains determined that all of them belonged to the Bacillus subtilis sensu lato group. In the strains genome were detected genic clusters responsible for encoding secondary metabolites such as surfactin, iturin, fengycins/plipastatin, bacillomycin, bacillisin, and siderophores. Due to the production of these compounds, there was a survival reduction of the Lepidoptera order insects and a reduction in the phytopathogens mycelial growth. These results show that the species of group B. subtilis s.l. can become promising microbiological alternatives to pest and disease control.

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
Lipopeptide (LP) biosurfactants from microbes have the potential to gradually replace chemical synthetic surfactants and fit the contemporary green and sustainable industrial production concept. However, their active participation is comparatively low in the global market pertaining to their low yield in microbial broth and costly downstream processes arising due to tedious isolation and purification methods. Herein, an efficient extraction method is developed that utilizes an aqueous biphasic system (ABS) comprising ionic liquids and polypropylene glycol 400 (PPG) to selectively extract a mixture of cyclic lipopeptides, namely, surfactin and fengycin from the culture broth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 5NPA-1, isolated from the halophyte Salicornia brachiata Roxb. Out of four different ABSs, the ABS composed of 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium formate and PPG displayed a maximum extraction efficiency of 82.30%. PPG-rich phase containing lipopeptides exhibited excellent antimicrobial and mosquito larvicidal properties with no toxic effect on plants. The developed method is simple, novel and accelerates the application of cyclic lipopeptides produced by the microbial source.

Abstract
Taxonomic and functional characterization of a total of 90 bacterial isolates representing bulk and rhizosphere soils of diverse niches of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India were carried out. Twelve bacterial isolates were found promising for the biological suppression of agriculturally important fungal and bacterial plant pathogens such as Ralstonia solanacearum, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed their identity as belonging to Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Lysinibacillus sphaericus. The isolates were positive for plant growth promotion (PGP) traits including siderophore production, and nutrient solubilization especially phosphorous, zinc, and potassium. Interestingly, the PCR test confirmed the presence of 62 antimicrobial peptides (AMP) biosynthesis genes specific to the genus Bacillus. Whilst all tested species of Bacillus harboured the bacD biosynthesis gene, the B. subtilis (Ba_Abi), and B. amyloliquefaciens (Ba_Abi) harboured the maximum AMP biosynthesis genes analysed in the study. Upon in planta evaluation, the biocontrol potential of the bacterial isolates against leaf spot disease of chilli was observed. The study culminated in the isolation and identification of diverse Bacillus species for exploitation as bioinoculants for plant health management programmes.

Abstract
Simple Summary The poultry industry sustains severe economic loss under heat stress conditions. Heat stress adversely affects the productivity, physiological status, and immunity of birds. To date, several mitigation measures have been adopted to minimize the negative effects of heat stress in poultry. Nutritional strategies have been explored as a promising approach to mitigate heat stress-associated deleterious impacts. Of these, probiotic feeding has a strong potential as a nutritional strategy, and this approach warrants further investigation to improve thermotolerance in poultry. Abstract Heat stress has emerged as a serious threat to the global poultry industry due to climate change. Heat stress can negatively impact the growth, gut health, immune function, and production and reproductive performances of poultry. Different strategies have been explored to mitigate heat stress in poultry; however, only a few have shown potential. Probiotics are gaining the attention of poultry nutritionists, as they are capable of improving the physiology, gut health, and immune system of poultry under heat stress. Therefore, application of probiotics along with proper management are considered to potentially help negate some of the negative impacts of heat stress on poultry. This review presents scientific insight into the impact of heat stress on poultry health and growth performance as well as the application of probiotics as a promising approach to alleviate the negative effects of heat stress in poultry.

Abstract
Four aerobic bacteria with bacteriolytic capabilities were isolated from the brackish water site Strait Uzynaral of Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan. The morphology and physiology of the bacterial isolates have subsequently been analyzed. Using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrum and partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, three of the isolates have been identified as Pseudomonas veronii and one as Paenibacillus apiarius. We determined the capability of both species to lyse pre-grown cells of the Gram-negative strains Pseudomonas putida SBUG 24 and Escherichia coli SBUG 13 as well as the Gram-positive strains Micrococcus luteus SBUG 16 and Arthrobacter citreus SBUG 321 on solid media. The bacteriolysis process was analyzed by creating growth curves and electron micrographs of co-cultures with the bacteriolytic isolates and the lysis sensitive strain Arthrobacter citreus SBUG 321 in nutrient-poor liquid media. One metabolite of Paenibacillus apiarius was isolated and structurally characterized by various chemical structure determination methods. It is a novel antibiotic substance.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are inherently occurring proteins that are produced by microorganisms as secondary metabolites. Members of genus Bacillus produce many types of AMPs by ribosomal (bacteriocins) and non-ribosomal (polymyxins and iturins) mechanisms. Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized peptides that inhibit the growth of closely related bacterial strains. Moreover, bacteriocins produced by Bacillus species have been widely used in pharmaceutical, food industry, fishery, livestock as well as in agriculture sector. The objective of this review is to assess the characterization of the Bacillus-derived bacteriocins, their potential use in different sectors and structure-activity relationships.

Surfactin Shows Relatively Low Antimicrobial Activity against Bacillus subtilis and Other Bacterial Model Organisms in the Absence of Synergistic Metabolites. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10040779. [PMID: 35456828 PMCID: PMC9030240 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10040779] [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: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Surfactin is described as a powerful biosurfactant and is natively produced by Bacillus subtilis in notable quantities. Among other industrially relevant characteristics, antimicrobial properties have been attributed to surfactin-producing Bacillus isolates. To investigate this property, stress approaches were carried out with biotechnologically established strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida with the highest possible amounts of surfactin. Contrary to the popular opinion, the highest growth-reducing effects were detectable in B. subtilis and E. coli after surfactin treatment of 100 g/L with 35 and 33%, respectively, while P. putida showed no growth-specific response. In contrast, other antimicrobial biosurfactants, like rhamnolipids and sophorolipids, showed significantly stronger effects on bacterial growth. Since the addition of high amounts of surfactin in defined mineral salt medium reduced the cell growth of B. subtilis by about 40%, the initial stress response at the protein level was analyzed by mass spectrometry, showing induction of stress proteins under control of alternative sigma factors σB and σW as well as the activation of LiaRS two-component system. Overall, although surfactin is associated with antimicrobial properties, relatively low growth-reducing effects could be demonstrated after the surfactin addition, challenging the general claim of the antimicrobial properties of surfactin.

Abstract
Lipopeptide biosurfactants (LBs) are biological molecules with low toxicity that have aroused growing interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Their chemical structure confers antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties against different species. Despite their potential, few studies have demonstrated their capability against Malassezia spp., commensal yeasts which can cause dermatitis and serious infections. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of biosurfactants produced by new strains of Bacillus subtilis TIM10 and B. vallismortis TIM68 against M. furfur and their potential for removal and inhibition of yeast biofilms. Biosurfactants were classified as lipopeptides by FTIR, and their composition was characterized by ESI-Q-TOF/MS, showing ions for iturin, fengycin, and surfactin, with a greater abundance of surfactin. Through the broth microdilution method, both biosurfactants inhibited the growth of clinical M. furfur strains. Biosurfactant TIM10 showed greater capacity for growth inhibition, with no statistical difference compared to those obtained by the commercial antifungal fluconazole for M. furfur 153DR5 and 154DR8 strains. At minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC-2), TIM10 and TIM68 were able to inhibit biofilm formation, especially TIM10, with an inhibition rate of approximately 90%. In addition, both biosurfactants were able to remove pre-formed biofilm. Both biosurfactants showed no toxicity against murine fibroblasts, even at concentrations above MIC-2. Our results show the effectiveness of LBs in controlling the growth and biofilm formation of M. furfur clinical strains and highlight the potential of these agents to compose new formulations for the treatment of these fungi.

Abstract
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel virus that is responsible for the largest pandemic in recent times. Although numerous studies have explored methods to cope with COVID-19 and targeted drugs and vaccines have been developed, the spread of disease remains rapid due to the high infectivity and mutation capability of SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus of COVID-19. Therefore, there is an urgent necessity to seek more efficient treatments and approaches to combat the disease. Methods In this study, molecular docking was used to predict the binding of different lipopeptides, which exhibit significant biological functions, to the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (also known as nsp12) of SARS-CoV-2, the central component of coronaviral replication and transcription machinery. Results The results showed that seven lipopeptides bound to nsp12 at the same location as the FDA-approved drug remdesivir, with higher affinities. Notably, iron-chelating ferrocin A (ferrocin A–iron complex [FAC]) bound to nsp12 most tightly, releasing up to 9.1 kcal mol−1 of free energy. Protein-ligand interaction analysis revealed that FAC formed four hydrogen bonds, two hydrophobic interactions, and three salt bridges with nsp12. These active amino acids are mainly distributed in the fingers and thumb subdomains of nsp12 and are highly conserved. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the abovementioned lipopeptides can tightly bind to nsp12, and thus represent promising drug candidates for anti-coronaviral treatments with the potential to fight SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has been a growing concern that gradually undermines our tradition treatment regimens. The fact that few antibacterial drugs with new scaffolds or targets have been approved in the past two decades aggravates this crisis. Repurposing drugs as potent antibiotic adjuvants offers a cost-effective strategy to mitigate the development of resistance and tackle the increasing infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Herein, we found that benzydamine, a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in clinic, remarkably potentiated broad-spectrum antibiotic-tetracyclines activity against a panel of clinically important pathogens, including MRSA, VRE, MCRPEC and tet(X)-positive Gram-negative bacteria. Mechanistic studies showed that benzydamine dissipated membrane potential (▵Ψ) in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which in turn upregulated the transmembrane proton gradient (▵pH) and promoted the uptake of tetracyclines. Additionally, benzydamine exacerbated the oxidative stress by triggering the production of ROS and suppressing GAD system-mediated oxidative defensive. This mode of action explains the great bactericidal activity of the doxycycline-benzydamine combination against different metabolic states of bacteria involve persister cells. As a proof-of-concept, the in vivo efficacy of this drug combination was evidenced in multiple animal infection models. These findings indicate that benzydamine is a potential tetracyclines adjuvant to address life-threatening infections by MDR bacteria.

Abstract
Bacteria produce specialized metabolites with a range of functions. In this issue of the Journal of Bacteriology, Schoenborn et al. study the production and role of secondary metabolites during biofilm development and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis (A. A. Schoenborn, S. M. Yannarell, E. D. Wallace, H. Clapper, et al., J Bacteriol 203:e00337-21, 2021, https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00337-21). Most metabolites studied are produced during differentiation, and six are required for the development of biofilms and/or spores. The authors propose a model for the timing of production and role in differentiation exerted by each secondary metabolite.

Abstract
Biosurfactants are molecules with surfactant properties produced by microorganisms, and can be used in various industrial sectors, e.g., the oil industry. These molecules can be used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the pre-salt and post-salt reservoirs, where conditions of temperature, pressure, and salinity are quite varied, requiring a study of the stability of these molecules under these conditions. Bacillus velezensis H2O-1 produces five different surfactin homologs with a fatty-acid chain ranging from C11 to C16 and with a high capacity to reduce surface (24.8 mN.m-1) and interfacial tensions (1.5 and 0.8 8 mN.m-1 using light, medium oil and n-hexadecane, respectively). The critical micellar concentration (CMC) was 38.7 mg.L-1. Inversion wettability tests were carried out under the salinity conditions found in the post-salt (35 g.L-1) and pre-salt (70 g.L-1) reservoirs, in which it was observed that the surfactin reversed 100 % of the wettability of the calcite impregnated with light and medium oil. Using a central composite rotatable design, we demonstrated that surfactin maintained its interfacial properties when subjected simultaneously to extreme conditions of pressure, temperature and salinity commonly found in the post-salt (70 °C, 70 g.L-1 and 27.58 MPa) and pre-salt (100 °C, 150 g.L-1 and 48.2 MPa) layers. The results presented here highlight the efficiency and stability of H2O-1 surfactin in environmental conditions found in pre-salt and post-salt oil reservoirs.

Abstract
![]()
Fengycins
are cyclic lipo-depsipeptides
produced by Bacillus spp. that display potent antifungal
properties but are chemically unstable. This instability has meant
that no total synthesis of any fengycin has been published. Here we
report the synthesis of fengycin A analogues that display enhanced
antifungal properties and chemical stability under both basic and
acidic conditions. The analogues prepared also demonstrate that the
fengycin core structure can be modified and simplified without the
loss of antifungal activity.

Abstract
Among several animals, Rattus rattus (rat) lives in polluted environments and feeds on organic waste/small invertebrates, suggesting the presence of inherent mechanisms to thwart infections. In this study, we isolated gut bacteria of rats for their antibacterial activities. Using antibacterial assays, the findings showed that the conditioned media from selected bacteria exhibited bactericidal activities against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli K1, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, and Salmonella enterica) and Gram-positive (Bacillus cereus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes) pathogenic bacteria. The conditioned media retained their antibacterial properties upon heat treatment at boiling temperature for 10 min. Using MTT assays, the conditioned media showed minimal cytotoxic effects against human keratinocyte cells. Active conditioned media were subjected to tandem mass spectrometry, and the results showed that conditioned media from Bacillus subtilis produced a large repertoire of surfactin and iturin A (lipopeptides) molecules. To our knowledge, this is the first report of isolation of lipopeptides from bacteria isolated from the rat gut. In short, these findings are important and provide a platform to develop effective antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioremediation has taken its call for removing pollutants for years. The oilcontaminated surroundings are majorly hazardous for sustaining life, but a great contribution to nature in the form of microorganisms. The complex carbon-hydrogen chain has served as classic raw material to chemical industries, which has perked up the hydrocarbon waste. Microbial remediation has been thus, focused to deal with the lacuna, where the new addition to this category is Microbacterium species. OBJECTIVES The identification and characterization of lipopeptide biosurfactant producing Microbacterium spp. isolated from brackish river water. METHODS The strain was isolated from an oil-contaminated lake. The strain was tested with all the other isolated species for oil degradation using screening protocols such as haemolysis, oil spread assay, BATH, E24, etc. The produced biosurfactant was extracted by acid precipitation, followed by solvent recovery. The strain with maximum potential was sequenced and was subjected to phylogeny assessment using in silico tools. RESULTS Novel Microbacterium species produce the extracellular biosurfactant. The surface tension of Microbacterium was found to be 32mN/m, indicates its powerful surface tension-reducing property. The strain was optimized for the production of biosurfactant and the best results were obtained with sucrose (2%) and yeast extract (3%) medium at 7 pH and 40°C temperature. CONCLUSION The isolate was confirmed to be a novel Microbacterium species that could produce 0.461 gm biosurfactant in 100 ml of the medium throughout a life cycle and novel strain of isolate was deposited to NCBI as Microbacterium spp. ANSKSLAB01 using an accession number: KU179507.

Abstract
Here we show that Bacillus pumilus ICVB403 recently isolated from copepod eggs is able to produce, after 48-72 h of growth in Landy medium, extracellular inhibitory compounds, which are active against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) ATCC 43300, MRSA-S1, Staphylococcus epidermidis 11EMB, Staphylococcus warneri 27EMB, and Staphylococcus hominis 13EMB. Moreover, these extracellular inhibitory compound(s) were able to potentiate erythromycin against the aforementioned staphylococci. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of erythromycin was reduced from 32 μg/mL to 8 μg/mL for MRSA ATCC 43300 and MRSA SA-1 strains, and from 32-64 μg/mL to 4 μg/mL for S. epidermidis 11EMB and S. hominis 13EMB strains.The genome sequencing and analysis of B. pumilus ICVB403 unveiled 3.666.195 nucleotides contained in 22 contigs with a G + C ratio of 42.0%, 3.826 coding sequences, and 73 RNAs. In silico analysis guided identification of two putative genes coding for synthesis of surfactin A, a lipopeptide with 7 amino acids, and for a circular bacteriocin belonging to the circularin A/uberolysin family, respectively.

Abstract
Microorganisms area treasure in terms of theproduction of various bioactive compounds which are being explored in different arenas of applied sciences. In agriculture, microbes and their bioactive compounds are being utilized in growth promotion and health promotion withnutrient fortification and its acquisition. Exhaustive explorations are unraveling the vast diversity of microbialcompounds with their potential usage in solving multiferous problems incrop production. Lipopeptides are one of such microbial compounds which havestrong antimicrobial properties against different plant pathogens. These compounds are reported to be produced by bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, and few other microorganisms; however, genus Bacillus alone produces a majority of diverse lipopeptides. Lipopeptides are low molecular weight compounds which havemultiple industrial roles apart from being usedas biosurfactants and antimicrobials. In plant protection, lipopeptides have wide prospects owing totheirpore-forming ability in pathogens, siderophore activity, biofilm inhibition, and dislodging activity, preventing colonization bypathogens, antiviral activity, etc. Microbes with lipopeptides that haveall these actions are good biocontrol agents. Exploring these antimicrobial compounds could widen the vistasof biological pest control for existing and emerging plant pathogens. The broader diversity and strong antimicrobial behavior of lipopeptides could be a boon for dealing withcomplex pathosystems and controlling diseases of greater economic importance. Understanding which and how these compounds modulate the synthesis and production of defense-related biomolecules in the plants is a key question—the answer of whichneeds in-depth investigation. The present reviewprovides a comprehensive picture of important lipopeptides produced by plant microbiome, their isolation, characterization, mechanisms of disease control, behavior against phytopathogens to understand different aspects of antagonism, and potential prospects for future explorations as antimicrobial agents. Understanding and exploring the antimicrobial lipopeptides from bacteria and fungi could also open upan entire new arena of biopesticides for effective control of devastating plant diseases.

Horng YB, Yu YH, Dybus A, Hsiao FSH, Cheng YH. Antibacterial activity of Bacillus species-derived surfactin on Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Clostridium perfringens. AMB Express 2019; 9:188.

Abstract
Swine dysentery and necrotic enteritis are a bane to animal husbandry worldwide. Some countries have already banned the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal production. Surfactin is a potential alternative to antibiotics and antibacterial agents. However, the antibacterial activity of Bacillus species-derived surfactin on Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Clostridium perfringens are still poorly understood. In the current study, the antibacterial effects of surfactin produced from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis on B. hyodysenteriae and C. perfringens were evaluated. Results showed that multiple surfactin isoforms were detected in B. subtilis, while only one surfactin isoform was detected in B. licheniformis fermented products. The surfactin produced from B. subtilis exhibited significant antibacterial activity against B. hyodysenteriae compared with surfactin produced from B. licheniformis. B. subtilis-derived surfactin could inhibit bacterial growth and disrupt the morphology of B. hyodysenteriae. Furthermore, the surfactin produced from B. subtilis have the highest activity against C. perfringens growth. In contrast, B. licheniformis fermented product-derived surfactin had a strong bacterial killing activity against C. perfringens compared with surfactin produced from B. subtilis. These results together suggest that Bacillus species-derived surfactin have potential for development as feed additives and use as a possible substitute for antibiotics to prevent B. hyodysenteriae and C. perfringens-associated disease in the animal industry.

Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae is a major pathogen causing streptococcosis. To prevent and control this bacterial disease, antagonistic bacteria have become a new research hotspot. This study evaluated the probiotic potential of Bacillus velezensis LF01 strain, which is antagonistic to S. agalactiae. The active compounds produced by LF01 showed antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of fish pathogens, including S. agalactiae, Streptococcus iniae, Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella tarda, Edwardsiella ictaluri, Aeromonas schubertii, Aeromonas veronii, Aeromonas jandaei, and Vibrio harveyi. The antimicrobial compounds were heat stable, pH stable, UV stable, resistant to proteases, and could be stored for a long time. To evaluate the probiotic function of LF01 in Nile tilapia, juveniles were divided into three treatment groups: a control group, an interval feeding group, and a continuous feeding group. Tilapia fed with LF01-supplemented diets (1.0 × 109 CFU/g) showed significantly better growth performances than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Tilapia fed with LF01-supplemented diets significantly increased lysozyme (LZY) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. The expression of three immune-related genes (C3, lyzc, and MHC-IIβ) was higher in the intestine, head kidney, and gill of tilapia from the continuous feeding group than in those from the control group (P < 0.05). Tilapia fed with LF01-supplemented diets showed remarkably improved survival rates after S. agalactiae infection, and analysis of their intestinal tract pathogens revealed that the abundance of Edwardsiella and Plesiomonas had significantly decreased compared with the control group. Our findings demonstrate that LF01 is an effective antagonist against various fish pathogens and has potential for controlling infections by Streptococcus spp. and other pathogens in tilapia.

Abstract
AIMS To study the antimicrobial agents of the Bacillus velezensis strain HC6 and assess the application potential of B. velezensis HC6 in maize. METHODS AND RESULTS We applied a dual culture technique to test the antimicrobial activity of B. velezensis HC6 against bacteria and fungi of common contaminated crops. Bacillus velezensis HC6 showed antagonistic action on pathogenic fungi, including Aspergillus and Fusarium, as well as pathogenic bacteria (especially Listeria monocytogenes). When applied in maize, B. velezensis HC6 could also inhibit the growth of multiple pathogenic fungi and reduce their production of aflatoxin and ochratoxin. Three kinds of antimicrobial lipopeptides, including iturin, fengycin and surfactin were identified in B. velezensis HC6 culture supernatant by high-performance liquid chromatography and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Iturin and fengycin showed obvious antimicrobial activity to the tested fungal strains. CONCLUSIONS Bacillus velezensis HC6 produces three kinds of lipopeptides which showed antimicrobial activity against several common pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Bacillus velezensis HC6 is potential to be biocontrol bacteria in maize. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Bacillus velezensis HC6 shows obvious antimicrobial activity to important crops pathogenic fungi which usually produce mycotoxins that are harmful to animal and human health. We demonstrate that three different types of lipopeptides produced by B. velezensis contributed to the antimicrobial activity. Bacillus velezensis HC6 has the potential to be effective biocontrol agent in crops.

Suppression of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by the Induction of Systemic Resistance and Regulation of Antioxidant Pathways in Tomato Using Fengycin Produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9100613.

Abstract
Lipopeptides from Bacillus species exhibit promising biological control activity against plant pathogens. This study aimed to explore the potential of purified fengycin to induce systemic resistance in tomato against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, its mutant AK1S, and their corresponding metabolites showed in vitro inhibition of S. sclerotiorum mycelium. Fengycin derived from an AK1S mutant was purified and identified through HPLC and MALDI-TOF-MS, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed structural deformities in the fungal mycelium. Moreover, fengycin induced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in S. sclerotiorum mycelium and downregulated the expression of ROS-scavenging genes viz., superoxide dismutase (SsSOD1), peroxidase (SsPO), and catalase (SsCAT1) compared to the untreated control. Furthermore, the lesion size was dramatically reduced in fengycin-treated tomato plants compared to plants infected with S. sclerotiorum only in a greenhouse experiment. Additionally, the transcriptional regulation of defense-related genes GST, SOD, PAL, HMGR, and MPK3 showed the highest upsurge in expression at 48 h post-inoculation (hpi). However, their expression was subsequently decreased at 96 hpi in fengycin + S. sclerotiorum treatment compared to the plants treated with fengycin only. Conversely, the expression of PPO increased in a linear manner up to 96 hpi.

Abstract
In a previously study, the Bacillus sp. strain IA was successfully isolated with high sensitivity to rice husk biochar (RHB). Moreover, RHB promoted an antibiotic iturin A production by strain IA. In order to develop the biocontrol agent, we attempted to reveal the functions of the RHB in promoting the production of iturin A by strain IA. The promotion effects of growth, sporulation and iturin A production of strain IA by the RHB were explained as follows. First, the manganese ion, released from RHB, promoted the sporulation and iturin A production of strain IA. Second, the silicon dioxide contained in RHB adsorbed the metabolic inhibitor(s) and promoted the iturin A production of strain IA. Finally, the combination of manganese ion and silicon dioxide promoted the growth, sporulation and iturin A production of the Bacillus sp. strain IA. To culture strain IA in the medium combining manganese ion and silicon dioxide, the total cells, spore cells and iturin A production increased 15 times, 10,000 times and 18 times higher than the control medium, respectively.

Abstract
Verticillium dahliae is a soilborne fungus and the primary causal agent of vascular wilt diseases worldwide. The fungus produces melanized microsclerotia that are crucially important for the survival and spread of V. dahliae. There are no fungicides available that are both effective and environmentally friendly to suppress the fungus. Previously, Bacillus subtilis C232 was isolated from soil and was demonstrated to suppress microsclerotia formation in V. dahliae. In this study, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry revealed that the antifungal substance is actually a mixture of lipopeptides. Exposure of V. dahliae to these lipopeptides resulted in hyphal swelling, cell lysis, and downregulation of melanin-related genes. RNA sequencing analyses of the lipopeptide-suppressed transcriptome during microsclerotial development revealed that 5,974 genes (2,131 upregulated and 3,843 downregulated) were differentially expressed versus nonsuppressive conditions. Furthermore, gene ontology enrichment analyses revealed that genes involved in response to stress, cellular metabolic processes, and translation were significantly enriched. Additionally, the lipopeptides inhibited expression of genes associated with secondary metabolism, protein catabolism, and the high-osmolarity glycerol response signaling pathway. Together, these findings provide evidence for the mechanism by which B. subtilis lipopeptides suppress microsclerotia formation. The transcriptomic insight garnered here may facilitate the development of biological agents to combat Verticillium wilt.

Abstract
Background Iturins, which belong to antibiotic cyclic lipopeptides mainly produced by Bacillus sp., have the potential for application in biomedicine and biocontrol because of their hemolytic and antifungal properties. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LL3, isolated previously by our lab, possesses a complete iturin A biosynthetic pathway as shown by genomic analysis. Nevertheless, iturin A could not be synthesized by strain LL3, possibly resulting from low transcription level of the itu operon. Results In this work, enhanced transcription of the iturin A biosynthetic genes was implemented by inserting a strong constitutive promoter C2up into upstream of the itu operon, leading to the production of iturin A with a titer of 37.35 mg l−1. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses demonstrated that the strain produced four iturin A homologs with molecular ion peaks at m/z 1044, 1058, 1072 and 1086 corresponding to [C14 + 2H]2+, [C15 + 2H]2+, [C16 + 2H]2+ and [C17 + 2H]2+. The iturin A extract exhibited strong inhibitory activity against several common plant pathogens. The yield of iturin A was improved to 99.73 mg l−1 by the optimization of the fermentation conditions using a response surface methodology. Furthermore, the yield of iturin A was increased to 113.1 mg l−1 by overexpression of a pleiotropic regulator DegQ. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first report on simultaneous production of four iturin A homologs (C14–C17) by a Bacillus strain. In addition, this study suggests that metabolic engineering in combination with culture conditions optimization may be a feasible method for enhanced production of bacterial secondary metabolites.

Abstract
An endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain called C5, able to produce biosurfactant lipopeptides with a broad antibacterial activity spectrum, has been isolated from the roots of olive tree. Optimization of antibacterial activity was undertaken using grape seed flour (GSF) substrate at 0.02, 0.2, and 2% (w/v) in M9 medium. Strain C5 exhibited optimal growth and antimicrobial activity (MIC value of 60 μg/ml) when incubated in the presence of 0.2% GSF while lipopeptide production culminated at 2% GSF. Thin layer chromatography analysis of lipopeptide extract revealed the presence of at least three active spots at Rf 0.35, 0.59, and 0.72 at 0.2% GSF. Data were similar to those obtained in LB-rich medium. MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of lipopeptide extract obtained from 0.2% GSF substrate revealed the presence of surfactin and bacillomycin D. These results show that GSF could be used as a low-cost culture medium supplement for optimizing the production of biosurfactants by strain C5.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to isolate the beneficial microorganisms whose growth is promoted in the presence of charcoal materials. We successfully isolated strain IA, whose growth is promoted on an agar plate with charcoal materials, and identified it as a novel strain of the Bacillus sp. The growth of strain IA in the liquid medium was promoted by the addition of both activated charcoal (AC) and rice husk biochar (RHB). Moreover, the sporulation of strain IA in the RHB medium and the antifungal activity of the culture supernatant of the RHB medium were much higher than those with AC. HPLC and MS analyses revealed that strain IA produced an antifungal lipopeptide iturin A, and the yield of iturin A in the RHB medium was 8 times higher than that in the medium without RHB. This is the first paper to describe the positive effect of RHB on microbial metabolisms.

Abstract
A rapid and efficient solid-phase strategy for the synthesis of dehydroxy fengycins derivatives is described. This synthetic approach involved the linkage of a Tyr to a Wang resin via a Mitsunobu reaction and the elongation of the peptide sequence followed by subsequent acylation of the N-terminus of the resulting linear peptidyl resin, esterification of the phenol group of a Tyr with an Ile, and final macrolactamization. The amino acid composition as well as the presence of the N-terminal acyl group significantly influenced the stability of the macrolactone. Cyclic lipodepsipeptides with a l-Tyr3/d-Tyr9 configuration were more stable than those containing the Tyr residues with an opposite configuration. This work constitutes the first approach on the total solid-phase synthesis of dehydroxy fengycin derivatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whether vertebrates/invertebrates living in polluted environments are an additional source of antimicrobials. KEY FINDINGS Majority of antimicrobials have been discovered from prokaryotes and those which are of eukaryotic origin are derived mainly from fungal and plant sources. With this in mind, it is important to note that pests, such as cockroaches come across pathogenic bacteria routinely, yet thrive in polluted environments. Other animals, such as snakes thrive from feeding on germ-infested rodents. Logically, such species must have developed an approach to protect themselves from these pathogens, yet they have largely been ignored as a potential source of antimicrobials despite their remarkable capability to fight disease-causing organisms. SUMMARY Animals living in polluted environments are an underutilized source for potential antimicrobials, hence it is believed that several novel bioactive molecule(s) will be identified from these sources to counter increasingly resistant bacterial infections. Further research will be necessary in the development of novel antimicrobial(s) from these unusual sources which will have huge clinical impact worldwide.

Abstract
Bacillus species are commonly used as probiotics in the poultry feed industry for preventing infectious diseases and improving productivity by altering gastrointestinal microbiota. The growth parameters of Bacillus subtilis for surfactin production in fermentation and the benefits of surfactin on broiler chickens remain unclear. In this study, we examined the growth parameters of B. subtilis in fermentation and evaluated the effects of surfactin from B. subtilis-fermented products on Clostridium perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis and growth performance in broilers. Results showed that the highest viable biomass of B. subtilis was observed at 10% molasses and 2% yeast supplementation during fermentation. The 4- and 6-day fermented B. subtilis products were heat-, acid- and bile-resistant. Furthermore, the 4-day fermented B. subtilis products with the highest surfactin concentration showed the maximal antimicrobial activity against pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium and C. perfringens. Dietary B. subtilis-fermented product supplementation in broilers significantly improved intestinal morphology and necrotic lesions under C. perfringens challenge. Bacillus subtilis treatments could enhance broiler productivity, as well as promote bone quality and intestinal morphology. These results together indicate that B. subtilis-fermented products containing surfactin have potential for the development as feed additives and use as possible substitutes for antibiotics to treat C. perfringens in the poultry industry.

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
Bacillus sp. strain MA04 a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) showed hemolytic activity on blood agar plates, and the supernatant from liquid culture in nutrient broth at 24 h exhibited emulsification activity, suggesting the production of biosurfactants. In antagonist assays, the supernatant showed antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi such as Penicillium expansum, Fusarium stilboides, Sclerotium rolfsii y Rhizoctonia solani, finding a reduction of mycelial growth of all fungi tested, ranging from 35 to 69%, this activity was increased with time of culture, accomplishing percentages of inhibition up to 85% with supernatants obtained at 72 h. Then, the crude biorsurfactant (CB) was isolated from the supernatant in order to assay its antagonistic effect on the phytopathogens previously tested, finding an increase in the inhibition up to 97% at 500 mg/L of CB. The composition of CB was determined by infrared spectroscopy, identifying various functional groups related to lipopeptides, which were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed by MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS, revealing a mixture of fengycins A and B whose high antifungal activity is been widely recognized. These results show that PGPR Bacillus sp. MA04 could also contribute to plant health status through the production of metabolites with antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing interest in the use of biological control agents (BCAs) and botanicals (BOTs) due to increasing awareness of the environmental and human health risks associated with synthetic plant protection products. The BCAs Bacillus subtilis strain QST713, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 and Aureobasidium pullulans strains DSM14940 and DSM14941, and the BOTs Melaleuca alternifolia and terpenic extracts are proposed for the control of grey mould in vineyards. This study was aimed at evaluating their effectiveness in integrated crop management strategies and their outcomes in terms of the management of fungicide resistance and residues. RESULTS In field trials carried out on table grapes in southern Italy, use of BCAs or BOTs alternately or mixtures of BCAs or BOTs with the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide fluopyram showed efficacy of up to 96% against grey mould on bunches, comparable with the chemical reference strategy (up to 87%). By contrast, use of BCAs or BOTs (up to 11 sprays) alone was not effective (< 30%) under high disease pressure. The integrated use of BCAs or BOTs reduced the spread of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor-resistant conidia, as well as fungicide residues in grapes. CONCLUSIONS Spray schedules based on integration of BCAs or BOTs with fungicides are effective against grey mould and reduce the risk of fungicide resistance in B. cinerea and fungicide residues in grapes. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A previous study has demonstrated that the treatment of Arabidopsis plants with chemical inhibitors of apyrase enzymes increases their sensitivity to herbicides. In this study, we found that the addition of the same or related apyrase inhibitors could potentiate the ability of different fungicides to inhibit the growth of five different pathogenic fungi in plate growth assays. The growth of all five fungi was partially inhibited by three commonly used fungicides: copper octanoate, myclobutanil and propiconazole. However, when these fungicides were individually tested in combination with any one of four different apyrase inhibitors (AI.1, AI.10, AI.13 or AI.15), their potency to inhibit the growth of five fungal pathogens was increased significantly relative to their application alone. The apyrase inhibitors were most effective in potentiating the ability of copper octanoate to inhibit fungal growth, and least effective in combination with propiconazole. Among the five pathogens assayed, that most sensitive to the fungicide-potentiating effects of the inhibitors was Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Overall, among the 60 treatment combinations tested (five pathogens, four apyrase inhibitors, three fungicides), the addition of apyrase inhibitors increased significantly the sensitivity of fungi to the fungicide treatments in 53 of the combinations. Consistent with their predicted mode of action, inhibitors AI.1, AI.10 and AI.13 each increased the level of propiconazole retained in one of the fungi, suggesting that they could partially block the ability of efflux transporters to remove propiconazole from these fungi.

Abstract
Novel compounds and innovative methods are required considering that antibiotic resistance has reached a crisis point. In the study, two cell-bound antimicrobial compounds produced by Lactococcus lactis ID1.5 were isolated and partially characterized. Following purification by cationic exchange and a solid-phase C18 column, antimicrobial activity was recovered after three runs of RPC using 60% (v/v) and 100% (v/v) of 2-propanol for elution, suggesting that more than one antimicrobial compound were produced by L. lactis ID1.5, which were in this study called compounds AI and AII. The mass spectrum of AI and AII showed major intensity ions at m/z 1070.05 and 955.9 Da, respectively. The compound AI showed a spectrum of antimicrobial activity mainly against L. lactis species, while the organisms most sensitive to compound AII were Bacillus subtilis, Listeria innocua, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antimicrobial activity of both compounds was suppressed by treatment with Tween 80. Nevertheless, both compounds showed high stability to heat and proteases treatments. The isolated compounds, AI and AII, showed distinct properties from other antimicrobial substances already reported as produced by L. lactis, and have a significant inhibitory effect against two clinically important respiratory pathogens.

Abstract
Several products of industrial interest are produced by Bacillus, including enzymes, antibiotics, amino acids, insecticides, biosurfactants and bacteriocins. This study aimed to investigate the potential of two bacterial isolates (P5 and C3) from puba, a regional fermentation product from cassava, to produce multiple substances with antimicrobial and surface active properties. Phylogenetic analyses showed close relation of isolates P5 and C3 with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus thuringiensis, respectively. Notably, Bacillus sp. P5 showed antimicrobial activity against pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus, in addition to antifungal activity. The presence of genes encoding pre-subtilosin (sboA), malonyl CoA transacylase (ituD), and the putative transcriptional terminator of surfactin (sfp) were detected in Bacillus sp. P5, suggesting the production of the bacteriocin subtilosin A and the lipopeptides iturin A and surfactin by this strain. For Bacillus sp. C3 the presence of sboA and spas (subtilin) genes was observed by the first time in members of B. cereus cluster. Bacillus sp. P5 showed emulsifying capability on mineral oil, soybean biodiesel and toluene, while Bacillus sp. C3 showed emulsifying capability only on mineral oil. The reduction of the surface tension in culture medium was also observed for strain P5, confirming the production of surface-active compounds by this bacterium. Monoprotonated molecular species and adducts of sodium and potassium ions of surfactin, iturin, and fengycin were detected in the P5 culture medium. Comparative MS/MS spectra of the peak m/z 1030 (C14 surfactin A or C15 surfactin B [M+Na]+) and peak m/z 1079 (C15 iturin [M+Na]+) showed the same fragmentation profile of standards, confirming the molecular identification. In conclusion, Bacillus sp. P5 showed the best potential for the production of antifungal, antibacterial, and biosurfactant substances.

[PMID: 27627697 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.08.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2016] [Revised: 07/26/2016] [Accepted: 08/11/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Effect of biosurfactant on biodegradation of pyrene was studied using a microbial consortium predominantly composed of Pseudomonas viridiflava (49.5%) and Pseudomonas nitroreducens (32.5%) in a batch experiment containing lipopeptidic biosurfactant, produced by Paenibacillus dendritiformis CN5 strain, and mineral salt medium. The results showed that the lipopeptide at 600 and 300mgL-1 enhanced pyrene degradation to 83.5% and 67% respectively in 24days compared to 16% degradation in its absence. However degradation of pyrene was reduced to 57% as the lipopeptide supplementation was raised to 900mgL-1. This demonstrates that the biodegradation of pyrene was found to increase with an increase in the lipopeptide concentration up to a threshold level. The experimental data were fitted to the logistic kinetic model which provided best fit with a coefficient of determination (R2) values≥0.97. Maximum specific growth rate, μmax of 0.97 and 0.69d-1 were achieved in the 600 and 300mgL-1 lipopeptide amendments in comparison to 0.54d-1 in the unamended one. The carrying capacity, Xmax increased 4.4-fold in 600mgL-1 lipopeptide supplemented samples in comparison to its absence. Generally the lipopeptide showed potential application in improving bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contaminated environmental media.

Chen JN, Wei CW, Liu HC, Chen SY, Chen C, Juang YM, Lai CC, Yiang GT. Extracts containing CLPs of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens JN68 isolated from chicken intestines exert antimicrobial effects, particularly on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. Mol Med Rep 2016; 14:5155-5163.

Abstract
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens JN68, which has been discussed with regards to its antimicrobial activities, was successfully isolated from healthy chicken intestines in the present study. Using the spot-on-the-lawn antagonism method, the preliminary study indicated that a suspension culture of the B. amyloliquefaciens JN68 strain can inhibit the growth of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium pinophilum. Furthermore, the cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) produced by the B. amyloliquefaciens JN68 strain were further purified through acid precipitation and Bond Elut®C18 chromatography, and their structures were identified using the liquid chromatography‑electrospray ionization‑mass spectrometry (MS)/MS method. Purified CLPs exerted broad spectrum antimicrobial activities on various pathogenic and foodborne bacteria and fungi, as determined using the agar well diffusion method. Listeria monocytogenes can induce listeriosis, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Methicillin‑resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major pathogenic bacteria that causes nosocomial infections. Therefore, L. monocytogenes and MRSA are currently of great concern. The present study aimed to determine whether B. amyloliquefaciens JN68 extracts could inhibit L. monocytogenes and MRSA. The results indicated that extracts of B. amyloliquefaciens JN68 have CLP components, and can successfully inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes and MRSA.
