Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDynamic Mathematical Modelling of Reaction Kinetics for Cyclodextrins Production from Different Starch Sources Using Bacillus macerans Cyclodextrin GlucanotransferaseSyahinaz Shahrazi, Suryani Saallah, Mohd Noriznan Mokhtar et al.This study relates to the mathematical modelling of enzymatic production of Cyclodextrins (CDs) by Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus macerans. The experiments were carried out in batch mode using different starch sources and the results were used to estimate unknown parameters using linearization and dynamic simulation methods. α- and β-CD produced from tapioca were found to give the highest Michaelis-Menten … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdvances in Menaquinone-7 Production by Bacillus subtilis Natto: Fed-Batch Glycerol AdditionAydin Berenjian, Raja Mahanama, Andrea Talbot et al.Menaquinone-7 was produced by fermentation mainly using Bacillus subtilis species. Due to the low concentration of menaquinone-7 in fermentation processes and the associated expense of recovering the menaquinone-7, it was desirable to improve the fermentation concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fed-batch glycerol addition in the production of menaquinone-7 during the fermentation of Bacillus … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 10,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibiotic Compounds from Bacillus: Why are they so Amazing?Patrick FickersThe constant increase of multi-drug resistant pathogens stimulates research, more than ever, to identify and develop new antibacterial compounds. The recent advances in genome sequencing have highlighted the genus Bacillus as an unexpected source of antibiotic-like compounds. This review focus on the different class of antimicrobial molecules produce by Bacillus genus such as polyketides, nonribosomal peptide, bacteriocins as well as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2012 · 9,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDecolorization of Distillery Effluent by Thermotolerant Bacillus subtilisSoni Tiwari, Rajeeva Gaur, Priyanka Rai, Ashutosh TripathiProblem statement: Ethanol production from sugarcane molasses generate large volume of effluent containing high Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) along with melanoidin, a color compound generally produced by “Millard reaction”. Melanodin is a recalcitrant compound degraded by specific microorganisms having ability to produce mono and di-oxygenases peroxidases, phenoxidases and laccases, are mainly responsible for degradation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHigh Incidence of Disorder-Promoting Amino Acids in the Amino Terminus of Mature Proteins in Bacillus subtilisGuangqiang Wang, Yining Dong, Haiqin Chen et al.Problem statement: Exported polypeptides are usually synthesized as preproteins which are composed with mature domains and the signal peptides. The foreign proteins are usually inefficiently secreted by the aid of signal peptides. Although we know that the mature protein played an important role in the protein export process, we do not know what properties of the mature domains are critical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 2 Feb 2012 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePopulation of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus (Pathogen) and Bacillus (Beneficial Bacteria) in Penaeus Monodon (Fabricus, 1798) CultureV. Pattukumar, Maloy Kumar Sahu, M. Murugan et al.Problem statement: The present work was attempted to evaluate the probiotic activity of Bacillus spp. in shrimp health management. Approach: Penaeid culture ecosystem as a confined environment with huge inputs always encourages the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria like Vibrios. Results: From the present study and earlier reports it is understood that these pathogens alone or combine with virus especially White … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCloning of the Endoglucanase Gene from a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PSM 3.1 in Escherichia coli Revealed Catalytic Triad Residues Thr-His-GluZeily Nurachman, Sari Dewi Kurniasih, Ferra Puspitawati et al.Problem statement: An Indonesian marine bacterial isolate, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PSM 3.1 was isolated for hydrolyzing cellulose. A 1500-bp nucleotide fragment was amplified from the chromosomal DNA by the use of primers directed against the conserved sequence of Bacilli endoglucanase genes obtained from GenBank. Approach: The fragment was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Results: The endoglucanase gene (eglII gene) had … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 9,724 accessesView PDFCite
