Anti-influenza Activity of a Bacillus subtilis Probiotic Strain.

ABSTRACT: Among Bacillus bacteria, B. subtilis is the species that produces the most antimicrobial compounds. In this study, we analyzed the activity of probiotic strain B. subtilis 3 against the influenza virus. The antiviral effect of this strain has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo A new peptide, P18, produced by the probiotic strain was isolated, purified, chemically synthesized, and characterized. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrated no toxic effect of P18 on Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, even at the highest concentration tested (100 ?g/ml). Complete inhibition of the influenza virus in vitro was observed at concentrations of 12.5 to 100 ?g/ml. The protective effect of P18 in mice was comparable to that of oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu). Further study will assess the potential of peptide P18 as an antiviral compound and as a promising candidate for the development of new antiviral vaccines.

Data on the genome analysis of the probiotic strain Bacillus subtilis GM5.

Project description:In the present study, we report data on the draft genome sequence of a lipopeptide producing rhizospheric Bacillus subtilis GM5 isolate. The genome consists of 4,271,280?bp with a GC-pair content of 43.3%. A total of 4518 genes including 75 tRNA genes, 3 operons coding for rRNA genes and 56 pseudogenes were annotated. Gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites were validated. Six of the thirty-three clusters identified in the genome code for antimicrobial non-ribosomal peptides synthesis. The Whole Genome Shotgun project of B. subtilis GM5 has been deposited in the NCBI database under the accession number NZ_NKJH00000000 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NZ_NKJH00000000.1).

Dietary Probiotic Bacillus subtilis Strain fmbj Increases Antioxidant Capacity and Oxidative Stability of Chicken Breast Meat during Storage.

Project description:This study was aimed to measure the dietary effects of probiotic Bacillus subtilis strain fmbj (BS fmbj) on antioxidant capacity and oxidative stability of chicken breast meat during storage. Treatment groups were fed the basal diet with BS fmbj at 0 g/kg (CON), 0.2 g/kg (BS-1), 0.3 g/kg (BS-2), or 0.4 g/kg (BS-3) doses without antibiotics. During 8 days of storage at 4°C, BS-2 group showed a significant improvement (P < 0.05) on meat quality (pH, Drip loss, Cooking loss, Shear force, color L*, a*, b*), free radical scavenging activity (DPPH, ABTS+, H2O2), tissues antioxidant enzyme capacity (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, GSH, T-SH), mitochondria antioxidant enzyme capacity (MnSOD, GPx, GSH), mRNA expression of antioxidant genes (Nrf2, HO-1, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) and mitochondrial function genes (avUCP, NRF1, NRF2, TFAM, PGC-1?), oxidative damage index (MDA, ROS, PC, 8-OHdG), and MMP level in chicken breast meat as compared to the CON group. These results indicate that dietary BS fmbj in broiler diets can protect breast meat against the storage-induced oxidative stress by improving their free radical scavenging capacity and antioxidant activity during 8 days of storage at 4°C.

Probiotic Bacillus subtilis Protects against ?-Synuclein Aggregation in C. elegans.

Project description:Recent discoveries have implicated the gut microbiome in the progression and severity of Parkinson's disease; however, how gut bacteria affect such neurodegenerative disorders remains unclear. Here, we report that the Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain PXN21 inhibits ?-synuclein aggregation and clears preformed aggregates in an established Caenorhabditis elegans model of synucleinopathy. This protection is seen in young and aging animals and is partly mediated by DAF-16. Multiple B. subtilis strains trigger the protective effect via both spores and vegetative cells, partly due to a biofilm formation in the gut of the worms and the release of bacterial metabolites. We identify several host metabolic pathways differentially regulated in response to probiotic exposure, including sphingolipid metabolism. We further demonstrate functional roles of the sphingolipid metabolism genes lagr-1, asm-3, and sptl-3 in the anti-aggregation effect. Our findings provide a basis for exploring the disease-modifying potential of B. subtilis as a dietary supplement.

Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis Strain 3NA.

Project description:Bacillus subtilis 3NA reaches high cell densities during fed-batch fermentation and is an interesting target for further optimization as a production strain. Here, we announce the full genome of B. subtilis 3NA. The presence of specific Bacillus subtilis 168 and W23 genetic features suggests that 3NA is a hybrid of these strains.

Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis Strain ∆6.

Project description:Bacillus subtilis ∆6 is a genome-reduced strain that was cured from six prophages and AT-rich islands. This strain is of great interest for biotechnological applications. Here, we announce the full-genome sequence of this strain. Interestingly, the conjugative element ICEBs1 has most likely undergone self-excision in B. subtilis ∆6.

Probiotic characterization of Bacillus subtilis P223 isolated from kimchi.

Project description:Probiotic characteristics of Bacillus subtilis P223 isolated from kimchi were investigated in this study. Spore cells of B. subtilis P223 showed high tolerance to artificial gastric juice (pH 2.5, 0.3% pepsin, 3 h) and bile salts (0.3% oxgall, 24 h). Spore cells of B. subtilis P223 showed more adherence to intestinal cells (HT-29 cells) than vegetative cells. In addition, B. subtilis P223 showed high autoaggregation ability, similar to a commercial strain (Bacillus clausii ATCC 700160). Moreover, its coaggregation abilities with pathogens were strong. The adherence of three pathogens (Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922) to HT-29 cells was inhibited by B. subtilis P223. It was found that B. subtilis P223 could not produce β-glucuronidase, a carcinogenic enzyme. However, it had amylase and protease activities. Antibiotic susceptibility was measured using disk diffusion assay. It was revealed that B. subtilis P223 was only resistant to streptomycin among eight kinds of antibiotics. In addition, B. subtilis P223 showed no hemolysis activity. It did not have enterotoxin genes. Results of this study suggest that B. subtilis P223 isolated from kimchi has potential as a probiotic strain.

Genome of a Gut Strain of Bacillus subtilis.

Project description:Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium. We present the genome sequence of an undomesticated strain, BSP1, isolated from poultry. The sequence of the BSP1 genome supports the view that B. subtilis has a biphasic lifestyle, cycling between the soil and the animal gastrointestinal tract, and it provides molecular-level insight into the adaptation of B. subtilis to life under laboratory conditions.

Structural insights into the regulation of Bacillus subtilis SigW activity by anti-sigma RsiW.

Project description:Bacillus subtilis SigW is localized to the cell membrane and is inactivated by the tight interaction with anti-sigma RsiW under normal growth conditions. Whereas SigW is discharged from RsiW binding and thus initiates the transcription of its regulon under diverse stress conditions such as antibiotics and alkaline shock. The release and activation of SigW in response to extracytoplasmic signals is induced by the regulated intramembrane proteolysis of RsiW. As a ZAS (Zinc-containing anti-sigma) family protein, RsiW has a CHCC zinc binding motif, which implies that its anti-sigma activity may be regulated by the state of zinc coordination in addition to the proteolytic cleavage of RsiW. To understand the regulation mode of SigW activity by RsiW, we determined the crystal structures of SigW in complex with the cytoplasmic domain of RsiW, and compared the conformation of the CHCC motif in the reduced/zinc binding and the oxidized states. The structures revealed that RsiW inhibits the promoter binding of SigW by interacting with the surface groove of SigW. The interaction between SigW and RsiW is not disrupted by the oxidation of the CHCC motif in RsiW, suggesting that SigW activity might not be regulated by the zinc coordination states of the CHCC motif.
