Over 1,000 compounds, including ecteinascidin-743 and didemnin B, have been isolated from ascidians, with most having bioactive properties such as antimicrobial, antitumor, and enzyme-inhibiting activities. In recent years, direct and indirect evidence has shown that some bioactive compounds isolated from ascidians are not produced by ascidians themselves but by their symbiotic microorganisms. Isolated culturable bacteria associated with ascidians and investigating their potential bioactivity are an important approach for discovering novel compounds. In this study, a total of 269 bacteria were isolated from the ascidian Styela clava collected from the coast of Weihai in the north of the Yellow Sea, China. Phylogenetic relationships among 183 isolates were determined using their 16S rRNA gene sequences. Isolates were tested for antimicrobial activity against seven indicator strains, and an antiproliferative activity assay was performed to test for inhibition of human hepatocellular carcinoma Bel 7402 and human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell proliferation. Our results showed that the isolates belonged to 26 genera from 18 families in four phyla (Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria,andBacteroidetes). Bacillus and Streptomyces were the most dominant genera; 146 strains had potent antimicrobial activities and inhibited at least one of the indicator strains. Crude extracts from 29 strains showed antiproliferative −1 activity against Bel 7402 cells with IC50 values below 500 �g⋅mL , and 53 strains showed antiproliferative activity against HeLa −1 cells, with IC50 values less than 500 �g⋅mL . Our results suggest that culturable bacteria associated with the ascidian Styela clava may be a promising source of novel bioactive compounds. 1. Introduction activities [3].

Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain Ca7T was grouped in the genus Bacillus, most closely related to Bacillus nanhaiensis JSM 082006T (100 %), Bacillus barbaricus V2-BIII-A2T (99.2 %) and Bacillus arsenicus Con a/3T (97.7 %). Moderate 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were found to the type strains of the species Bacillus gelatini and Bacillus rigui (96.4 %), Bacillus macauensis (95.1 %) and Bacillus solisalsi (96.1 %). All these species were grouped into a monophyletic cluster and showed very low sequence similarities (,94 %) to the type species of the genus Bacillus, Bacillus subtilis.Thequinonesystemof strain Ca7T consists predominantly of menaquinone MK-7. The polar lipid profile exhibited the major compounds diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. In addition, minor compounds of an unidentified phospholipid and an aminophospholipid were detected. No glycolipids were found in strain Ca7T, which was consistent with the lipid profiles of B.

From the outer circle to the inward circle, the circle indicates rRNA and/or tRNA, reverse CDS, forward CDS, GC skew and the GC ratio. A 2017 ⎪ Vol. 27⎪ No. 0 2Name et al. Fig. S2. OrthoANI distance Neighbor-Joining tree with 60 strains (extended OrthoANI tree). A neighbor-joining tree based on the OrthoANI distance matrix. B. subtilis with three subspecies contains 59 genomes and S. aureus subsp. aureus DSM 20231T was used as an outgroup. The scale bar indicates the sequence divergence. J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. Title 3 Fig. S3. The tarABD MLST NJ tree and heatmap with 60 strains (extended NJ tree). A) Phylogenetic tree using the tarABD Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree and B) heatmap based on the similarities of the tarABD from B. subtilis genome to the reference tar or tag genes. B. subtilis with three subspecies contains 59 genomes and S. aureus subsp. aureus DSM 20231T was used for outgroup. Bootstrap values (>70%) based on 1000 replicates are shown at branch nodes. The brand nodes also recovered maximum-likelihood (ML) and maximum-parsimony (MP) trees are marked by the filled black circles. The bar indicates nucleotide substitution rate in given length of the scale. The color indicated the tblastn nucleotide similarities to reference tar (red) or tag (green) genes.
