Bacillus sp. strains as attractive hosts for the production of heterologous secretory proteins usually play important roles in bio-industry. However, low transformation efficiency of exogenous plasmids limited the application of Bacillus species. Here, a novel plasmid interspecific transfer system, with high transformation efficiency, high positive rate, and convenient manipulation, has been successfully constructed. A high electrotransformation efficiency strain Bacillus subtilis F-168 containing the counter-selectable marker mazF was used as the plasmid donor strain in this transfer method. A shuttled plasmid pBE980 and its recombinant plasmids pBE980::pulA and pBE980::HSPA were successfully transferred into the recipient Bacillus strains (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 66, Bacillus licheniformis 124 and Bacillus megaterium 258) by this method. After co-culturing the donor cells (OD = 1.3-1.7) and the recipient cells (OD = 0.5-0.9) for 24 h in 22 °C, more than 1.0 × 10 positive transformants were obtained and a interspecific transformation efficiency of 1.0 × 10. It would provide a new approach for genetic manipulation in Bacillus strains and accelerate the research progress of the wild Bacillus strains in bio-industry.

Background And Objectives: The study focused on the amylase enzyme, widely used in the industrial starch liquefaction process. We looked into the best way to immobilize the native strain , which is the only alpha-amylase-producing bacterium, by trapping it in calcium alginate gel. This is a promising way to increase enzyme output.

Douchiba (DCB) is a nutritious food rich in various functional components such as Tetramethylpyrazine (TTMP), and the strain fermentation is crucial for enhancing its quality. This work utilized S2-2 and S6-J1 with high TTMP production for fermentation of soybeans to optimize the pre-fermentation process and to evaluate the flavor quality of mature DCB. The concentration of TTMP in DCB fermented by mixed microbial (MG) was 2.
