Sequence diversity of the Bacillus thuringiensis and B. cereus sensu lato flagellin (H antigen) protein: comparison with H serotype diversity

We set out to analyze the sequence diversity of the Bacillus thuringiensis flagellin (H antigen [Hag]) protein and compare it with H serotype diversity. Some other Bacillus cereus sensu lato species and strains were added for comparison. The internal sequences of the flagellin (hag) alleles from 80 Bacillus thuringiensis strains and 16 strains from the B. cereus sensu lato group were amplified and cloned, and their nucleotide sequences were determined and translated into amino acids. The flagellin allele nucleotide sequences for 10 additional strains were retrieved from GenBank for a total of 106 Bacillus species and strains used in this study. These included 82 B. thuringiensis strains from 67 H serotypes, 5 B. cereus strains, 3 Bacillus anthracis strains, 3 Bacillus mycoides strains, 11 Bacillus weihenstephanensis strains, 1 Bacillus halodurans strain, and 1 Bacillus subtilis strain. The first 111 and the last 66 amino acids were conserved. They were referred to as the C1 and C2 regions, respectively. The central region, however, was highly variable and is referred to as the V region. Two bootstrapped neighbor-joining trees were generated: a first one from the alignment of the translated amino acid sequences of the amplified internal sequences of the hag alleles and a second one from the alignment of the V region amino acid sequences, respectively. Of the eight clusters revealed in the tree inferred from the entire C1-V-C2 region amino acid sequences, seven were present in corresponding clusters in the tree inferred from the V region amino acid sequences. With regard to B. thuringiensis, in most cases, different serovars had different flagellin amino acid sequences, as might have been expected. Surprisingly, however, some different B. thuringiensis serovars shared identical flagellin amino acid sequences. Likewise, serovars from the same H serotypes were most often found clustered together, with exceptions. Indeed, some serovars from the same H serotype carried flagellins with sufficiently different amino acid sequences as to be located on distant clusters. Species-wise, B. halodurans, B. subtilis, and B. anthracis formed specific branches, whereas the other four species, all in the B. cereus sensu lato group, B. mycoides, B. weihenstephanensis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis, did not form four specific clusters as might have been expected. Rather, strains from any of these four species were placed side by side with strains from the other species. In the B. cereus sensu lato group, B. anthracis excepted, the distribution of strains was not species specific.     

Taxonomy of Psychrophilic Strains of Bacillus

The morphological and physiological characteristics of 20 isolates of psychrophilic Bacillus were compared with 29 strains representing nine species of mesophilic Bacillus and 2 strains of Sporosarcina ureae to determine the taxonomic position of the psychrophiles. The psychrophiles formed four distinct groups which were sufficiently different from the mesophiles to warrant their designation as new species of Bacillus. The names B. psychrosaccharolyticus, B. insolitus, B. globisporus, and B. psychrophilus are proposed for the new species.     

Identification of some Bacteria from Paddy Antagonistic to Several Rice Fungal Pathogens

The effect of 23 bacterial strains from ricefields in the tropics on rice seed germination and on radicle and hypocotyl development of four rice cultivars was determined. There was a varietal difference in response to seed bacterization with the different bacterial strains. Germination of cv. IR58 increased from 78 to 93 %, that of cv. IR64, from 89 to 97 %. Less effects on germination of cvs IR42 and IR36 were observed. All strains inhibited the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani in vitro. The three strains, identified as Bacillus subtilis, inhibited the mycelial growth of eight fungal pathogens whereas the other strains were pathogen-specific. Seed bacterization with these bacterial strains provided a sheath blight protection of 4. 5 to 73 % in the glasshouse trial. These 23 bacterial strains were identified by phenotypic tests using the API systems, morphological and biochemical features, and by comparison of electrophoretic patterns after sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Bacterial strains were identified (number of strains in brackets) as: Bacillus subtilis (3), Bacillus laterosporus (1), Bacillus pumilus (1), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7), Pseudomonas belonging to section 1 (5), Erwina herbicola-like (1), and Serratia marcescens (1). The features of the other four strains were similar to Serratia except for the DNAase and lipase activities.

Proteases from Bacillus: a new insight into the mechanism of action for rhizobacterial suppression of nematode populations

AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of proteases in Bacillus spp. of rhizobacteria in suppressing nematode populations and to understand their mechanism of action. METHODS AND RESULTS: Rhizobacteria with nematicidal activity were isolated from soil samples of five root knot nematode-infested farms. Among these strains, nematotoxicities of Bacillus strains were intensively analysed. Further assays of nematicidal toxins from Bacillus sp. strain RH219 indicated an extracellular cuticle-degrading protease Apr219 was an important pathogenic factor. The Apr219 shared high similarity with previously reported cuticle-degrading proteases from Brevibacillus laterosporus strain G4 and Bacillus sp. B16 (Bacillus nematocida). The cuticle-degrading protease genes were also amplified from four other nematicidal Bacillus strains isolated from the rhizosphere. In addition to Apr219, a neutral protease Npr219 from Bacillus sp. RH219 was also investigated for activity against nematodes. CONCLUSIONS: The wide distribution of cuticle-degrading proteases in Bacillus strains with nematicidal activity suggested that these enzymes likely play an important role in bacteria-nematode-plant-environment interactions and that they may serve as important nematicidal factors in balancing nematode populations in the soil. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Increased understanding of the mechanism of action of Bacillus spp. against nematodes could potentially enhance the value of these species as effective nematicidal agents and develop new biological control strategies.     

In vitro assessment of probiotic properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus</Emphasis> isolated from naturally fermented congee from Inner Mongolia of China

A total of thirty-three strains of Bacillus were isolated from sixteen samples of naturally fermented congee in Inner Mongolia of China and identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Probiotic properties including acid, bile tolerance and artificial gastrointestinal juice resistance as well as inhibition on pathogenic bacteria were used for screening of Bacillus. After the preliminary selection, four strains including Bacillus licheniformis IMAUB1002, Bacillus subtilis IMAUB1011, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IMAUB1014 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IMAUB1034 showed high tolerance to simulated gastric juice at pH 2.0 for 3 h with survival rate all above 92%. And then through gastrointestinal transit, survival rates of these four strains were above 90%. Furthermore, Bacillus licheniformis IMAUB1002 performed well in tolerance to bile salt (0.6%) and inhibitory activity to five food-borne pathogens among four strains of Bacillus. The results suggested that Bacillus licheniformis IMAUB1002 should be considered as a potential probiotics. Further study will be focused on evaluation of these porbiotics properties in vivo and clarification of its other functional properties so as to use it in functional foods production in future.
