Polyhydroxy butyrate Polymer industry soil, (PHB) is the best-known member of the PHA series of polyesters. PHB pro- ducing strain of Amphibacillus sp was isolated from polymer industry soil ’s manual of determi- and identified by comparison with keys given in Bergey native bacteriology. The initial yield of PHA was 39.90 0.5% in the produc- tion medium. Different carbon and nitrogen sources were tested for PHB production by this bacterium Maximum yield of PHA was observed with glucose (82.20 0.4 %) followed by fructose (47.09 0.51%) and mannose (47.09 0.4%), arabinose (41.42 0.5 %). Sucrose, being a cheaper substrate, was used for further studies. Among the nitrogen sources beef extract and tryptone promoted PHB synthesis with 42.42 0.3 % and 41.65 0.02 % respectively. Growth conditions for production of PHA by the Amphibacillus sp were studied. The optimized conditions with 30 0.50C of temperature and pH 7.0 0.1 with 3 % inoculum at 250 rpm at 48 h of fermentation using sucrose as the carbon source yielded 67.03 0.5% of PHB.

At high oxygen conditions and at low temperature, significant impairment of growth and viability of bacterial cells is found to occur as the result of free radical attack. The imposed oxidative stress leads - to an increase of intracellularly generated reactive oxygen species (mainly O2 , H2O2 and HO·), which disturbs the cellular homeostasis due to catabolic imbalance and results in growth inhibition. The so- called “free radical burst” probably is responsible for the induction of a host defence mechanism against the destructive impact of high oxygen.

Summary Bacteria live in almost any imaginable environment, from the most extreme envi- ronments (e.g. in hydrothermal vents) to the bovine and human gastrointestinal tract. By adapting to such diverse environments, they have developed a large arsenal of enzymes involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. While some such enzymes support our digestion or can be used for the optimization of biotechnological processes, others may be harmful { e.g. mediating the roles of bacteria in human diseases.

Amphibacillus xy- lanus, the type species of the genus, grows well under both strictly anaerobic and aerobic condi- tions in spite of lacking any isoprenoid quinones, cytochromes, and catalase. Amphibacillus fermentum and Amphibacillus tropicus were later proposed by Zhilina et al. in 2001 for the iso- lates from a soda lake. In this paper, we revealed the latter two species also lacked isoprenoid quinones, cytochrome and catalase, and that they grew well under strictly anaerobic and aerobic conditions. The consistent growth of A. xylanus under both conditions is due to the presence of anaerobic and aerobic pathways for glucose metabolism in the organism. Although A. fermen- tum and A. tropicus are supposed to have a side enzymatic pyruvate pathway to produce lactate under both conditions, the two species have two major pyruvate metabolic pathways as ob- served in A.

The genus is composed of 22 species and two subspecies, but the relationship between its lifestyle and genome is little understood. In this study, two high-quality draft genomes were generated from Anoxybacillus spp. SK3-4 and DT3-1, isolated from Malaysian hot springs. De novo assembly and annotation were performed, followed by comparative genome analysis with the complete genome of Anoxybacillus flavithermus WK1 and two additional draft genomes, of A. flavithermus TNO-09.006 and A. kamchatkensis G10. The genomes of Anoxybacillus spp. are among the smaller of the family Bacillaceae. Despite having smaller genomes, their essential genes related to lifestyle adaptations at elevated temperature, extreme pH, and protection against ultraviolet are complete. Due to the presence of various competence proteins, Anoxybacillus spp. SK3-4 and DT3-1 are able to take up foreign DNA fragments, and some of these transferred genes are important for the survival of the cells. The analysis of intact putative prophage genomes shows that they are highly diversified.

Department ofAgriculture, Peoria, Illinois 616042 We determined the taxonomic status of six Bacillus species (Bacillus alginolyticus, Bacillus chondroitinus, Bacillus curdlanolyticus, Bacillus glucanolyticus, Bacillus kobensis, and Bacillus thiaminolyticus) by using the results of 168 rR A gene sequence and cellular fatty acid composition analyses. Phylogenetic analysis clus­ tered these species closely with the Paenibacillus species. Like the Paenibacillus species, the six Bacillus species contained anteiso-C 1s:o fatty acid as a major cellular fatty acid. The use of a specific PCR primer designed for differentiating the genus Paenibacillus from other members of the Bacillaceae showed that the six Bacillus species had the same amplified 168 rRNA gene fragment as members of the genus Paenibacillus. Based on these observations and other taxonomic characteristics, the six Bacillus species were transferred to the genus Paenibacillus. In addition, we propose emendation of the genus Paenibacillus. Rod-shaped, aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria have gen­ among the Bacillaceae, we determined the sequences of their erally been assigned to the genus Bacillus, a systematically 16S rR A genes and compared these sequences with homol­ diverse taxon (5).
