Three new cyclic lipopeptides (compounds 1–3) were isolated from Bacillus sp. SY27F, which collected from the deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Indian Ocean. The planar structures of compounds 1–3 were characterized by LC–MS, GC–MS and NMR, whereas their absolute configurations were determined by modified Marfey’s analysis and optical rotation contrast. They shared the same heptapeptide chain (N-L-Gln 1 -D-Leu 2 -L-Leu 3 -L-Val 4 -L-Asp 5 -D-Leu 6 -L-Ile 7 -C), differing only by the length of the fatty acid chain. Compounds 1–3 displayed significant cytotoxic activity against DU145, MCF-7 and HepG2 cancer cell lines with IC 50 values of 96.8–190.7 nM and moderate to weak cytotoxicity against A549, HeLa and HT1080, with IC 50 values of 9.3–43.2 μM, respectively. However, none of the three compounds showed any antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Monilia albicans .

The biological denitrification of low-C/N wastewater is a great challenge in treatment plants due to the lack of microorganisms with heterotrophic nitrification–aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) abilities. In this study,Bacillussp. L2 was isolated from aeration tank water samples using a nitrification medium and screened for its ability to perform HN-AD in low-C/N wastewater. The strain showed a maximum NH4+-N removal rate of 98.37% under low-C/N conditions. In the presence of a mixed N source, strain L2 was capable of completely removing NH4+-N within 24 h. Furthermore, optimal nitrogen removal conditions for strain L2 were found to be C/N = 9, pH = 9, and sodium acetate as the C source. Under optimal conditions, the strain was able to maintain a high NH4+-N removal rate under 0–3% salinity and an NH4+-N concentration of 200 mg/L or less. The denitrification pathways of strain L2 were NH4+→NH2OH→NO2−(↔NO3−)→NO→N2O→N2and NH4+→NH2OH→NO→N2O→N2. Furthermore, semi-continuous wastewater treatment was conducted using immobilized technology, which resulted in more than 82% NH4+-N removal after three cycles of reuse. This study demonstrates the great potential ofBacillussp. L2 in wastewater treatment applications.

The corrosion of carbon steel causes dramatic economic losses each year. Since conventional corrosion prevention approaches may cause pollution problems to the environment, ecofriendly and effective corrosion approaches are desired. Microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI) has been reported as a sustainable corrosion prevention method. This work aims to evaluate the corrosion inhibition effect of two bacterial strains,Tenacibaculum mesophilumD-6 andBacillussp. Y-6 by choosing Q235 carbon steel as a model system. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and a series of electrochemical techniques were applied to study the corrosion prevention effect. The electrochemical and pitting results indicated thatT. mesophilumD-6 displayed a better corrosion protection effect.T. mesophilumD-6 formed a denser and thicker biofilm on the Q235 surface thanBacillussp. Y-6. The maximum thickness of theT. mesophilumD-6 biofilms was 11.6 ± 0.7 μm, which is about twice as thick than that ofBacillussp. Y-6. The corrosion prevention mechanism was ascribed to the formation of biofilms as a barrier to block corrosive agents such as O2. This study provides a theoretical foundation for the application of biofilms as green and effective corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel.Keywords:Q235 carbon steel;Tenacibaculum mesophilumD-6;Bacillussp.

In this study, magnetic humic acid (MHA) nanoparticle was prepared and confirmed the enhancement on reduction of azo dyes under high salt concentration. The anaerobic growth of the strain Bacillus sp. on quinones makes the biogenic hydroquinone feasible, and the latter was proven to reduce the azo dyes stoichiometrically. This in-situ reversibly oxidation and reduction of MHA acts as electron shuttle to catalyze the biotic reduction of the azo dyes. The biodegradation efficiencies in batch experiments and sequencing batch reactor with MHA were increased by 1.5–2.5 times as compared to that of control without the catalyzer. Moreover, the negligible leaching of HA under various environmental conditions suggests the robustness of the coating of HA on Fe/O surface. These results indicated that the as-prepared MHA could be used as redox mediator to accelerate the extracellular electron transfer, which is of great environmental significance for the removal of hazardous compounds.

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-degrading strains resuscitated by resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) enlarged pure degraders to screen effective bio-inoculants for soil bioaugmentation . In this study, whole-genome analysis and PCB-degrading performance of a resuscitated strain LS1 were investigated. Importantly, the persistence and the physiological response of soil-inoculated LS1 were checked. The results indicate that the Bacillus sp. strain LS1 possessed the potential to degrade polycyclic aromatic compounds. LS1 exhibited better performance in degrading PCBs 18 and 52, but lower PCB 77 degradation capability. At PCBs concentration of 10 mg/L, the degradation efficiencies of PCBs 18, 52 and 77 within 96 h were 62.8 %, 59.6 % and 39.8 %, respectively. Combined the bph genes and metabolites detected, as well as the genes found in the genome, the abilities of LS1 for oxidative dehalogenation and mineralization of PCBs via HOPDA-benzoate-protocatechuate- β -ketoadipate pathway were determined. Notably, LS1 can still maintain survival and culturable state after inoculation into PCB-contaminated soil for 70 days. This is the first report to demonstrate the fate of resuscitated strain when used as soil bio-inoculant, which revealed the necessity and feasibility of using resuscitated strains to enhance bioremediation of PCB-contaminated soils.

A highly efficient bioflocculant, i . e ., Na-Bsp was successfully prepared by using a tolerant strain- Bacillus sp. under high-salt condition without sterilization. Salt-containing medium was not infected by other strains throughout the whole incubation period in 168 h. The as-prepared Na-Bsp was found to be cation-dependent, exhibiting high flocculant efficiency (FE) i.e., 97.69 ± 0.61%, towards kaolin particles by aid of Fe 3+ . High FE values were well maintained under a wide pH range and/or boiled water treatment , likely because of the main constituent of polysaccharide . The presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amine groups on the bioflocculant surface were possibly responsible for strong interactions with heavy metals. The adsorption capacities of Pb 2+ , Cu 2+ and Cr 6+ were 1000.0, 434.8 and 384.6 mg g −1 , respectively. The changing of structure and configuration of bioflocculant during the metal adsorption were explored by the scanning electron microscope with electron energy loss spectroscopy and three-dimensional excitation-emission fluorescence spectrometry . This study provided a novel production method, whereby the conventional sterilization could be avoided, which is of great environmental significance for steam-saving. Furthermore, the as-prepared Na-Bsp exhibited high adsorption capacities toward heavy metals, which sheds lights on its potential usage as an alternative adsorbent.

Tellurium (Te) is a rare element within the chalcogen group, and its biogeochemical cycle has been studied extensively. Tellurite (Te(IV)) is the most soluble Te species and is highly toxic to organisms. Chemical or biological Te(IV) reduction to elemental tellurium (Te 0 ) is generally considered an effective detoxification route for Te(IV)-containing wastewater. This study unveils a previously unnoticed Te 0 oxidation process mediated by the manganese-oxidizing bacterium Bacillus sp. FF-1. This bacterium, which exhibits both Mn(II)-oxidizing and Te(IV)-reducing abilities, can produce manganese oxides (BioMnO x ) and Te 0 (BioTe 0 ) when exposed to Mn(II) and Te(IV), respectively. When 5 mM Mn(II) was added after incubating 0.1 mM or 1 mM Te(IV) with strain FF-1 for 16 h, BioTe 0 was certainly re-oxidized to Te(IV) by BioMnOx. Chemogenic and exogenous biogenic Te 0 can also be oxidized by BioMnOx, although at different rates. This study highlights a new transformation process of tellurium species mediated by manganese-oxidizing bacteria, revealing that the environmental fate and ecological risks of Te 0 need to be re-evaluated.

In this study, it was the first report that Bacillus sp. CCZU11-1 was used for the biotransformation of 1,3-propanediol cyclic sulfate (1,3-PDS) and its derivatives. The catalytic performance of Bacillus sp. sulfatase in the biotransformation of 1,3-PDS was significantly improved by biocatalyst permeabilization and immobilization. Using cell permeabilization, the hydrolytic activity of the whole-cell biocatalyst was increased by 3.5-fold after 1.5 h of pretreatment with 10 % ( v / v ) toluene at 30 °C and pH 7.0. Biotransformation of 20 mM 1,3-PDS for 24 h, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) could be obtained in the yield of 97.4 % under the optimized reaction condition. Additionally, the immobilized biocatalysts, permeabilized cells entrapped in calcium alginate, and cross-linked enzyme aggregates were further employed to biotansform 1,3-PDS. Moreover, the total operational time of the immobilized biocatalysts could reach above 240 h with high conversion rate (>90 %).

Cycloastragenol (CA), an exclusive telomerase activator, was derived from the Astragali Radix which is widely distributed in Turkey. Until now, there is no report to produce CA with effective and environment-friendly methods. Biotransformation is considered to be a promising technology. Thus, the present study was aimed to establish a biotransformation technology that could efficiently produce CA. In this paper, a microorganism, LG-502, was used to successfully transform astragaloside IV (ASI) to CA by analysis of thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA indicated that this strain belongs to Bacillus sp. Three metabolites were separated during the fermentation and characterized to be cyclogaleginoside B, CA, and 20 R , 24 S -epoxy-6 α , 16 β , 25-trihydroxy-9, 19-cycloartan-3-one based on NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. The conversion rate of ASI and yield rate of CA were achieved as high as 89 and 84%, respectively, under optimized conditions. Enzymatic analysis showed that the glycosidases were mainly located inside the bacterial body, and the activities of glucosidases were much higher than the xylosidases under the experimental conditions. This study provides a feasible, effective, and eco-friendly way to prepare CA from ASI, which might greatly contribute to the applications of ASI.

Microbial degradation is a useful tool for inhibiting or preventing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) widely distributed in marine environment after oil spill accidents. This study aimed to evaluate the potential and diversity of bacteria Bacillus sp. PAH-2 on Benzo (a) anthracene (BaA), Pyrene (Pyr), and Benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), their composite system, aromatic components system, and crude oil. The seven-day degradation rates against BaA, Pyr, and BaP were 20.6%, 12.83%, and 17.49%, respectively. Further degradation study of aromatic components demonstrated PAH-2 had a high degradation rate of substances with poor stability of molecular structure. In addition, the degradation of PAHs in crude oil suggested PAH-2 not only made good use of PAHs in such a more complex structure of pollutants but the saturated hydrocarbons in the crude oil also showed a good application potential.

Chitosanase plays an important role in the production of chitooligosaccharides (CHOS), which possess various biological activities. Herein, a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 46 chitosanase-encoding gene,csnB, was cloned from marine bacteriumBacillussp. BY01 and heterologously expressed inEscherichia coli. The recombinant chitosanase, CsnB, was optimally active at 35 °C and pH 5.0. It was also revealed to be a cold-adapted enzyme, maintaining 39.5% and 40.4% of its maximum activity at 0 and 10 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, CsnB showed wide pH-stability within the range of pH 3.0 to 7.0. Then, an improved reaction condition was built to enhance its thermostability with a final glycerol volume concentration of 20%. Moreover, CsnB was determined to be an endo-type chitosanase, yielding chitosan disaccharides and trisaccharides as the main products. Overall, CsnB provides a new choice for enzymatic CHOS production.Keywords:chitosanase;Bacillussp. BY01;cold-adaption

Biofilm formation is crucial for subsequent biofouling. Various factors can affect the biofilm formation. Here we report the influence of hydrodynamic shear force on adhesion morphology and biofilm conformation of Bacillus sp. on stainless steel by a flow cell system. Static, laminar and turbulent conditions were selected for this study. The applicability of this flow cell was evaluated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Stable wall shear stresses were successfully obtained. The results showed that the spatial distribution of bacteria changed from single-cell to cluster under the effect of shear force and the higher shear force created smoother and denser clusters. The different morphology of clusters under different flow conditions was mainly due to the increased nutrient supply to the clusters with the increase of flow velocity. Under the effect of shear force, Bacillus sp. could change the shape and increase the production of extracellular polymeric substance which could reduce the effect of shear force and enhance the connection and adhesion, respectively. Under low shear force, biofilm preferred to form irregular and complicated structure which could lead to the formation of tower like biofilm and inhibit the external mass transfer . The results could shed some light on biofilm control strategies.
