Project description:L-asparaginase is a target for many researchers as its properties against cancer, especially leukaemia, and protective agents reduce acrylamide in fried food. In this study, the water samples from Thumba Arattuvazhi Beach in Kerala were screened for l-asparaginase producing microorganisms. This was followed by colourimetric screening using modified M9 media with 0.009% Phenol red dye and using l-asparagine as a sole nitrogen source. Then, the Nessler assay was performed to quantify the enzyme. Molecular identification was made by 16SrRNA sequencing and aligned the sequence with GeneBank for phylogenetic tree construction using BLAST. Seawater was serially diluted for 10-1 to 10-6 using nutrient agar plates. A total of 19 bacterial colonies were isolated. The colonies were evaluated to produce l-asparaginase according to the pink zone around the colonies on the modified M9 medium using a red phenol indicator. The KB1 sample was selected for further studies according to plate colour assay. Nessler assay of L-asparaginase quantified as 2.537 IU/ml. Molecular characterisation showed the sequence association with Bacillus altitudinis the sequence submitted in Genebank as B. altitudinis KB1 strain. The l-asparaginase II gene (AnsB) was amplified based on the entire length of the hypothetical protein of annotated genome with accession number CP022319.2. The l-asparaginase activity in this study was 57% higher than the reference organism B. altitudinis BITHSP010. The l-asparaginase producing bacterium B. altitudinis KB1 from a marine source in Kerala can produce asparaginase, which can be utilised for biotechnology applications.

Project description:Ribonucleases are considered as promising tools for anticancer treatment due to their selective cytotoxicity against tumor cells. We investigated a new RNase from Bacillus altitudinis termed BALNASE (B. altitudinis RNase). Balnase is a close homolog of the well-known cytotoxic binase, differing by only one amino acid residue: nonpolar hydrophobic alanine at position 106 in the balnase molecule is replaced by a polar uncharged threonine in binase. The most exciting question is how the physico-chemical properties and biological effects of RNase might be changed by A106T substitution. Here, we have developed a chromatography-based rapid and modern technique for the purification of this new RNase which allowed us to get a protein sample of high quality with specific activity of 1.2 × 10(6) units in preparative amounts, suitable for further investigation of its biological properties.

Project description:The plant microbiome and plant-associated bacteria are known to support plant health, but there are limited studies on seed and seedling microbiome to reveal how seed-associated bacteria may confer disease resistance. In this study, the application of antibiotics on soybean seedlings indicated that seed-associated bacteria were involved in the seed rot resistance against a soil-borne pathogen Calonectria ilicicola, but this resistance cannot be carried to withstand root rot. Using PacBio 16S rRNA gene full-length sequencing and microbiome analyses, 14 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) including 2 ASVs matching to Bacillus altitudinis were found to be more abundant in the four most resistant varieties versus the four most susceptible varieties. Culture-dependent isolation obtained two B. altitudinis isolates that both exhibit antagonistic capability against six fungal pathogens. Application of B. altitudinis on the most resistant and susceptible soybean varieties revealed different colonization compatibility, and the seed rot resistance was restored in the five varieties showing higher bacterial colonization. Moreover, quantitative PCR confirmed the persistence of B. altitudinis on apical shoots till 21 days post-inoculation (dpi), but 9 dpi on roots of the resistant variety TN5. As for the susceptible variety HC, the persistence of B. altitudinis was only detected before 6 dpi on both shoots and roots. The short-term colonization of B. altitudinis on roots may explain the absence of root rot resistance. Collectively, this study advances the insight of B. altitudinis conferring soybean seed rot resistance and highlights the importance of considering bacterial compatibility with plant varieties and colonization persistence on plant tissues.

Project description:Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria that can exert beneficial effects on plant growth directly or indirectly by different mechanisms. PGPB-based inoculant formulation has been used to replace chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In our previous studies, two endophytic endospore-forming bacteria identified as Bacillus altitudinis were isolated from roots of Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. seedlings and selected for their plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties shown in vitro and in vivo. The purposes of this work were to assemble the genomes of B. altitudinis 19RS3 and T5S-T4, using different assemblers available for Windows and Linux and to select the best assembly for each strain. Both genomes were also automatically annotated to detect PGP genes and compare sequences with other genomes reported. Library construction and draft genome sequencing were performed by Macrogen services. Raw reads were filtered using the Trimmomatic tool. Genomes were assembled using SPAdes, ABySS, Velvet, and SOAPdenovo2 assemblers for Linux, and Geneious and CLC Genomics Workbench assemblers for Windows. Assembly evaluation was done by the QUAST tool. The parameters evaluated were the number of contigs ≥ 500 bp and ≥ 1000 bp, the length of the longest contig, and the N50 value. For genome annotation PROKKA, RAST, and KAAS tools were used. The best assembly for both genomes was obtained using Velvet. The B. altitudinis 19RS3 genome was assembled into 15 contigs with an N50 value of 1,943,801 bp. The B. altitudinis T5S-T4 genome was assembled into 24 contigs with an N50 of 344,151 bp. Both genomes comprise several genes related to PGP mechanisms, such as those for nitrogen fixation, iron metabolism, phosphate metabolism, and auxin biosynthesis. The results obtained offer the basis for a better understanding of B. altitudinis 19RS3 and T5S-T4 and make them promissory for bioinoculant development.

Project description:This study is aimed to isolate marine actinomycetes from sediments from Andaman and the Gulf of Thailand. All 101 marine actinomycetes were screened for anti-biofilm activity. Streptomyces sp. GKU223 showed significantly inhibited biofilm formation of S. aureus. The evaluation of supernatants of anti-biofilm activity produced by Streptomyces sp. GKU223 has been performed. Since the interaction between marine actinomycetes and biofilm forming bacteria has never been investigated, proteomic analysis has been used to identify whole cell proteins involved in anti–biofilm activity. Understanding the interaction at molecular level will lead to sustainably use for anti-biofilm producing marine actinomycetes in pharmaceutical and medicinal applications in the future.

Project description:A thermostable keratinase designated as KBALT was purified from Bacillus altitudinis RBDV1 from a poultry farm in Gujarat, India. The molecular weight of the native KBALT (nKBALT) purified using ammonium sulfate and ion exchange and gel permeation chromatography with a 40% yield and 80-fold purification was estimated to be ~ 43 kDa. The gene for KBALT was successfully cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant KBALT (rKBALT) when purified using a single step Ni-NTA His affinity chromatography achieved a yield of 38.20% and a 76.4-fold purification. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of rKBALT with known proteases of Bacillus species and inhibitory effect of PMSF suggest that rKBALT was a subtilisin-like serine protease. Both native and rKBALT exhibited higher activity at 85 °C and pH 8.0 in the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Ba2+ and Fe3+ metal ions. Interestingly, 70% of their activity was retained at temperatures ranging from 35 to > 95 °C. The keratinolytic activity of both nKBALT and rKBALT was enhanced in the presence of reducing agents. They exhibited broad substrate specificity towards various protein substrates. KBALT was determined for its kinetic properties by calculating its Km (0.61 mg/ml) and Vmax (1673 U/mg/min) values. These results suggest KBALT as a robust and promising contender for enzymatic processing of keratinous wastes in waste processing plants.
