Transformation in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Transformation in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

The methodology and some of the requirements for the deoxyribonucleic acid-mediated transformation of an arginine auxotroph of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to prototrophy are described.

Unrelatedness of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus subtilis.

Eight strains of highly amylolytic, sporeforming bacilli (hereafter referred to as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) were compared with respect to their taxonomic relationship to B. subtilis. The physiological-biochemical properties of these two groups of organisms showed that B. amyloliquefaciens differed from B. subtilis by their ability to grow in 10% NaCl, characteristic growth on potato plugs, i...

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus velezensis, and Bacillus siamensis Form an “Operational Group B. amyloliquefaciens” within the B. subtilis Species Complex

The plant growth promoting model bacterium FZB42T was proposed as the type strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum (Borriss et al., 2011), but has been recently recognized as being synonymous to Bacillus velezensis due to phylogenomic analysis (Dunlap C. et al., 2016). However, until now, majority of publications consider plant-associated close relatives of FZB42 still as "B. amyl...

Release of extracellular enzymes from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

Washed-cell suspensions of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens secrete significant amounts of the extracellular enzymes alpha-amylase and protease for about 15 min in the almost complete absence of protein synthesis. This apparently represents release of preformed enzyme en route to secretion. The release was independent of energy but was affected by temperature. Pulse-labeling experiments showed that n...
