Natural genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis natto OK2.
We isolated a Bacillus subtilis natto strain, designated OK2, from a lot of commercial fermented soybean natto and studied its ability to undergo natural competence development using a comG-lacZ fusion at the amyE locus. Although transcription of the late competence genes was not detected in the B. subtilis natto strain OK2 during competence development, these genes were constitutively transcri...
متن کاملGenetic Competence Drives Genome Diversity in Bacillus subtilis
Prokaryote genomes are the result of a dynamic flux of genes, with increases achieved via horizontal gene transfer and reductions occurring through gene loss. The ecological and selective forces that drive this genomic flexibility vary across species. Bacillus subtilis is a naturally competent bacterium that occupies various environments, including plant-associated, soil, and marine niches, and...
متن کاملIn silico analysis of Nattokinase from Bacillus subtilis sp natto
Nattokinase or subtilisin NAT (EC 3.4.21.62) is one of the most remarkable enzymes produced by Bacillus subtilis sp. Natto, which posses direct fibrinolytic activity. The aim of this study is in silico analysis of Nattokinase structure and function. The three-dimensional structure of serine protease Nattokinase from Bacillus subtilis sp. natto was determined using homology modeling performed by...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis YqjG is required for genetic competence development.
Members of the evolutionary conserved Oxa1/Alb3/YidC family have been shown to play an important role in membrane protein insertion, folding and/or assembly. Bacillus subtilis contains two YidC-like proteins, denoted as SpoIIIJ and YqjG. SpoIIIJ and YqjG are largely exchangeable, but SpoIIIJ is essential for spore formation and YqjG cannot complement this activity. To elucidate the role of YqjG...
متن کاملConstruction of physical maps of Bacillus subtilis (natto) strains.
The putative physical map of a Bacillus subtilis (natto) strain has been constructed to demonstrate the difference from the strain B. subtilis Marburg. B. subtilis (natto) strains are closely related to the Marburg 168trpC2 strain whose genome was sequenced. Their genome size and organization are also assumed to be similar. The putative SfiI and I-CeuI physical map of a natto strain BEST195 rev...
