J Basic Microbiol 2023; 63:223-234. [PMID: 36538731 DOI: 10.1002/jobm.202200528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
In this study, selected properties of protease and the complete genome sequence of Bacillus licheniformis NWMCC0046 were investigated, to discover laundry applications and other potential probiotic properties of this strain. Partial characterization of B. licheniformis NWMCC0046 showed that its protease has good activity both in alkaline environments and at low temperatures. Also, the protease is compatible with commercial detergents and can be used as a detergent additive for effective stain removal at low temperatures. The complete genome sequence of B. licheniformis NWMCC0046 is comprised of a 4,321,565 bp linear chromosome with a G + C content of 46.78% and no plasmids. It had 4504 protein-encoding genes, 81 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 24 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Genomic analysis revealed genes involved in exocellular enzyme production and probiotic properties. In addition, genomic sequence analysis revealed specific genes encoding carbohydrate metabolism pathways, resistance, and cold adaptation capacity. Overall, protease properties show its potential as a detergent additive enzyme. The complete genome sequence information of B. licheniformis NWMCC0046 was obtained, and functional prediction revealed its numerous probiotic properties.

Abstract
In these days, for bacterial genome sequence determination, ultralong reads with homopolymeric troubles are used in combinations with short reads, resulting in genomic sequences with possible incorrect uniformity of repeat sequences. We have been determining complete bacterial genomic sequences based on NGS short reads and Newbler assemblage by utilizing functions implemented in 3 software GenoFinisher, AceFileViewer, and ShortReadManager without conducting additional experiments for gap closing, proving the concept that NGS short reads enclose enough information to determine complete genome sequences. Although some manual in silico tasks are to be conducted, they will ultimately be solved in a single pipeline. In this review, we describe the tools and implemented ideas that have enabled complete sequence determination solely based on short reads, which would be useful for establishing the basis for the future development of a short-read-based assembler that enables complete and accurate genome sequence determination at a lower cost.

Microorganisms 2019; 8:microorganisms8010026. [PMID: 31877822 PMCID: PMC7022639 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms8010026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Bacillus licheniformis strain TAB7 is a bacterium used as a commercial deodorizing agent for compost in Japan. In this work, its ability to biotransform the following monocyclic phenolic compounds was assessed: ferulate, vanillate, p-coumarate, caffeate, protocatechuate, syringate, vanillin, and cinnamate (a precursor for some phenolic compounds). These compounds are abundant in composting material and are reported to have allelopathic properties. They come from sources such as plant material decomposition or agro-industrial waste. Biotransformation assays were carried out in LB supplemented with 0.2 mg/mL of an individual phenolic compound and incubated for up to 15 days followed by extraction and HPLC analysis. The results showed that TAB7 could biotransform ferulate, caffeate, p-coumarate, vanillate, protocatechuate, and vanillin. It, however, had a poor ability to transform cinnamate and syringate. LC-MS/MS analysis showed that ferulate was transformed into 4-vinylguaiacol as the final product, while caffeate was transformed into 4-ethylcatechol. TAB7 genome analysis suggested that, while TAB7 may not mineralize phenolic compounds, it harbored genes possibly encoding phenolic acid decarboxylase, vanillate decarboxylase, and some protocatechuate degradation pathway enzymes, which are involved in the catabolism of phenolic compounds known to have negative allelopathy on some plants. The results thus suggested that TAB7 can reduce such phenolic compounds in compost.
