Project description:Bacillus cytotoxicus is the thermotolerant representative of the Bacillus cereus group. This group, also known as B. cereus sensu lato, comprises both beneficial and pathogenic members and includes psychrotolerant and thermotolerant species. Bacillus cytotoxicus was originally recovered from a fatal outbreak in France in 1998. This species forms a remote cluster from the B. cereus group members and reliably contains the cytk-1 gene, coding for a cytotoxic variant of cytotoxin K. Although this species was originally thought to be homogenous, intra-species diversity has been recently described with four clades, six random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns, and 11 plasmids profiles. This study aimed to get new insights into the genomic diversity of B. cytotoxicus and to decipher the underlying chromosomal and plasmidial variations among six representative isolates through whole genome sequencing (WGS). Among the six sequenced strains, four fitted the previously described genomic clades A and D, while the remaining two constituted new distinct branches. As for the plasmid content of these strains, three large plasmids were putatively conjugative and three small ones potentially mobilizable, harboring coding genes for putative leaderless bacteriocins. Mobile genetic elements, such as prophages, Insertion Sequences (IS), and Bacillus cereus repeats (bcr) greatly contributed to the B. cytotoxicus diversity. As for IS elements and bcr, IS3 and bcr1 were the most abundant elements and, along with the group II intron B.c.I8, were found in all analyzed B. cytotoxicus strains. When compared to other B. cytotoxicus strains, the type-strain NVH 391-98 displayed a relatively low number of IS. Our results shed new light on the contribution of mobile genetic elements to the genome plasticity of B. cytotoxicus and their potential role in horizontal gene transfer.

Project description:Soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 exhibits strong ammonia taste in medium temperature below 37℃ and prominent soy sauce-like aroma moderate temperatures above 45℃. The transcriptome sequencing of Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 (incubating at 37°C and 45°C) has been completed, screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through data analysis, and analyzing their metabolic pathways, laying a foundation for exploring the regulatory mechanism of soy sauce-like aroma formation.

Project description:Geothermal areas are the niches of a rich microbial diversity that is not only part of the intangible patrimony of a country but also the source of many microbial species with potential biotechnological applications. Particularly, microbial species in geothermal areas in Argentina have been scarcely explored regarding their possible biotechnological uses. The purpose of this work was to explore the proteolytic and keratinolytic enzymatic potential of microorganisms that inhabit in the Domuyo geothermal area in the Neuquén Province. To this end, we did enrichment cultures from two high-temperature natural samples in mineral media only supplemented with whole chicken feathers. After the isolation and the phylogenetic and morphologic characterization of different colonies, we obtained a collection of Bacillus cytotoxicus isolates, a species with no previous report of keratinolytic activity and only reported in rehydrated meals connected with food poisoning outbreaks. Its natural habitat has been unknown up to now. We characterized the proteolytic and keratinolytic capacities of the B.cytotoxicus isolates in different conditions, which proved to be remarkably high compared with those of other similar species. Thus, our work represents the first report of the isolation as well as the keratinolytic capacity characterization of strains of B. cytotixicus obtained from a natural environment.
