In vitro effects of alginate lyase SG4 + produced by Paenibacillus lautus alone and combined with antibiotics on biofilm formation by mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: Alginate is a major extra polymeric substance in the biofilm formed by mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is the main proven perpetrator of lung infections in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. Alginate lyases are very important in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. This study evaluated the role of standalone and in conjugation, effect of alginate lyase of SG4 + isolated from Paenibacillus lautus in enhancing in vitro bactericidal activity of gentamicin and amikacin on mucoid P. aeruginosa. Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) alginate lyase SG4 + production was optimized in shake flask and there 8.49-fold enhancement in enzyme production. In fermenter, maximum growth (10.15 mg/ml) and alginate lyase (1.46 International Units) production, 1.71-fold was increased using Central Compo
