Optimization of Bacillus subtilis NRC1 growth conditions using response surface methodology for sustainable biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have different unique properties and a wide range of applications in different fields. Thereby, there is a growing urgency for the production of AuNPs using a safe and an economic method. In this study, optimization of fermentation conditions by Bacillus subtilis NRC1 for extracellular AuNPs synthesis using response surface methodology was achieved. The data obtained from Plackett-Burman design followed by Box-Behnken design indicated the accuracy and reliability of the model and it could be used to navigate the design space with a reasonable accuracy. Numerical optimization of Bacillus subtilis NRC1 active extracellular filtrate production, showed the optimum conditions of 0.74% (w/v) casein hydrolysate, 3.99% (w/v) dextrin, 47 × 10⁶ CFU/ml inoculum size at pH 7.76 and 25 [Formula: see text]C to give the maximum AuNPs biosynthesis. The model was highly valid and the obtained data had a confidence factor of 98.48%. Statistical optimization resulted in a 2.6-fold increase in AuNPs production compared with that of the non-optimized medium.

Project description:In a Mars exploration scenario, knowing if and how highly resistant Bacillus subtilis spores would survive on the Martian surface is crucial to design planetary protection measures and avoid false positives in life-detection experiments. Therefore, in this study a systematic screening was performed to determine whether B. subtilis spores could survive an average day on Mars. For that, spores from two comprehensive sets of isogenic B. subtilis mutant strains, defective in DNA protection or repair genes, were exposed to 24 h of simulated Martian atmospheric environment with or without 8 h of Martian UV radiation [M(+)UV and M(-)UV, respectively]. When exposed to M(+)UV, spore survival was dependent on: (1) core dehydration maintenance, (2) protection of DNA by α/β-type small acid soluble proteins (SASP), and (3) removal and repair of the major UV photoproduct (SP) in spore DNA. In turn, when exposed to M(-)UV, spore survival was mainly dependent on protection by the multilayered spore coat, and DNA double-strand breaks represent the main lesion accumulated. Bacillus subtilis spores were able to survive for at least a limited time in a simulated Martian environment, both with or without solar UV radiation. Moreover, M(-)UV-treated spores exhibited survival rates significantly higher than the M(+)UV-treated spores. This suggests that on a real Martian surface, radiation shielding of spores (e.g., by dust, rocks, or spacecraft surface irregularities) might significantly extend survival rates. Mutagenesis were strongly dependent on the functionality of all structural components with small acid-soluble spore proteins, coat layers and dipicolinic acid as key protectants and efficiency DNA damage removal by AP endonucleases (ExoA and Nfo), non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), mismatch repair (MMR) and error-prone translesion synthesis (TLS). Thus, future efforts should focus on: (1) determining the DNA damage in wild-type spores exposed to M(+/-)UV and (2) assessing spore survival and viability with shielding of spores via Mars regolith and other relevant materials.
