  • Biochemical Characterization and 16S Rdna Sequencing of Lipolytic Thermophiles from Selayang Hot Spring, Malaysia

Abstract Thermophiles are well known as organisms that can withstand extreme temperature. Thermoenzymes from thermophiles have numerous potential for biotechnological applications due to their integral stability to tolerate extreme pH and elevated temperature. Because of the industrial importance of lipases, there is ongoing interest in the isolation of new bacterial strain producing lipases. Six isolates of lipases producing thermophiles namely K7S1T53D5, K7S1T53D6, K7S1T53D11, K7S1T53D12, K7S2T51D14 and K7S2T51D19 were isolated from the Selayang Hot Spring, Malaysia. The sampling site is neutral in pH with a highest recorded temperature of 53°C. For the screening and isolation of lipolytic thermopiles, selective medium containing Tween 80 was used. Thermostability and the ability to degrade the substrate even at higher temperature was proved and determined by incubation of the positive isolates at temperature 53°C. Colonies with circular borders, convex in elevation with an entire margin and opaque were obtained. 16S rDNA gene amplification and sequence analysis were done for bacterial identification. The isolate of K7S1T53D6 was derived of genus Bacillus that is the spore forming type, rod shaped, aerobic, with the ability to degrade lipid.

On the basis of the results of gene sequence analyses, these species were separated into two clusters. The B. brevis cluster included 10 species, namely, Bacillus brevis, Bacillus agri, Bacillus centrosporus, Bacillus choshinensis, Bacillus parabrevis, Bacillus reuszeri, Bacillus formosus, Bacillus borstelensis, Bacillus luterosporus, and Bacillus thermoruber. Bacillus aneurinolyticus and Bacillus migulunus belonged to the B. aneurinolyticus cluster. Moreover, the two clusters were phylogenetically distinct from other Bacillus, Amphibacillus, Sporoluctobacillus, Paenibacillus, and Alicyclobacillus species. On the basis of our data, we propose reclassification of the B. brevis cluster as Brevibacillus gen. nov. and reclassification of the B. aneurinolyticus cluster as Aneurinibacillus gen. nov. By using 16s rRNA gene sequence alignments, two specific PCR amplification primers were designed for differentiating the two new genera from each other and from other aerobic, endospore-formingorganisms. The aerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming genus Bacillus is a systematically diverse taxon (5).The members of this genus exhibit a wide range of DNA base compositions, and the major amino acid compositions of the cell walls of these organisms 8.

  • An Astrobiological Study of an Alkaline-Saline Hydrothermal Environment, Relevant to Understanding the Habitability of Mars
    An astrobiological study of an alkaline-saline hydrothermal environment, relevant to understanding the habitability of Mars A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Lottie Elizabeth Davis Department of Earth Sciences University College London March 2012 1 I, Lottie Elizabeth Davis confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Declaration Abstract The on going exploration of planets such as Mars is producing a wealth of data which is being used to shape a better understanding of potentially habitable environments beyond the Earth. On Mars, the relatively recent identification of minerals which indicate the presence of neutral/alkaline aqueous activity has increased the number of potentially habitable environments which require characterisation and exploration. The study of terrestrial analogue environments enables us to develop a better understanding of where life can exist, what types of organisms can exist and what evidence of that life may be preserved. The study of analogue environments is necessary not only in relation to the possibility of identifying extinct/extant indigenous life on Mars, but also for understanding the potential for contamination. As well as gaining an insight into the habitability of an environment, it is also essential to understand how to identify such environments using the instruments available to missions to Mars. It is important to be aware of instrument limitations to ensure that evidence of a particular environment is not overlooked. This work focuses upon studying the bacterial and archaeal diversity of Lake Magadi, a hypersaline and alkaline soda lake, and its associated hydrothermal springs.

  • Identification and Classification of Known and Putative Antimicrobial Compounds Produced by a Wide Variety of Bacillales Species Xin Zhao1,2 and Oscar P
    Zhao and Kuipers BMC Genomics (2016) 17:882 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-3224-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identification and classification of known and putative antimicrobial compounds produced by a wide variety of Bacillales species Xin Zhao1,2 and Oscar P. Kuipers1* Abstract Background: Gram-positive bacteria of the Bacillales are important producers of antimicrobial compounds that might be utilized for medical, food or agricultural applications. Thanks to the wide availability of whole genome sequence data and the development of specific genome mining tools, novel antimicrobial compounds, either ribosomally- or non-ribosomally produced, of various Bacillales species can be predicted and classified. Here, we provide a classification scheme of known and putative antimicrobial compounds in the specific context of Bacillales species. Results: We identify and describe known and putative bacteriocins, non-ribosomally synthesized peptides (NRPs), polyketides (PKs) and other antimicrobials from 328 whole-genome sequenced strains of 57 species of Bacillales by using web based genome-mining prediction tools. We provide a classification scheme for these bacteriocins, update the findings of NRPs and PKs and investigate their characteristics and suitability for biocontrol by describing per class their genetic organization and structure. Moreover, we highlight the potential of several known and novel antimicrobials from various species of Bacillales. Conclusions: Our extended classification of antimicrobial compounds demonstrates that Bacillales provide a rich source of novel antimicrobials that can now readily be tapped experimentally, since many new gene clusters are identified. Keywords: Antimicrobials, Bacillales, Bacillus, Genome-mining, Lanthipeptides, Sactipeptides, Thiopeptides, NRPs, PKs Background (bacteriocins) [4], as well as non-ribosomally synthesized Most of the species of the genus Bacillus and related peptides (NRPs) and polyketides (PKs) [5].

Accepted 27 November 2012 Studies of photosynthetic eukaryotes have revealed that the evolution of plastids from cyanobacteria Published involved the recruitment of non-cyanobacterial proteins. Our phylogenetic survey of .100 Arabidopsis 11 December 2012 nuclear-encoded plastid enzymes involved in amino acid biosynthesis identified only 21 unambiguous cyanobacterial-derived proteins. Some of the several non-cyanobacterial plastid enzymes have a shared phylogenetic origin in the three Plantae lineages. We hypothesize that during the evolution of plastids some enzymes encoded in the host nuclear genome were mistargeted into the plastid. Then, the activity of those Correspondence and foreign enzymes was sustained by both the plastid metabolites and interactions with the native requests for materials cyanobacterial enzymes. Some of the novel enzymatic activities were favored by selective compartmentation should be addressed to of additional complementary enzymes. The mosaic phylogenetic composition of the plastid amino acid A.R.-P.
