Bacillus velezensis SK having broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity has been isolated from soil. The efficient extraction of antimicrobial compounds produced in various mediums has been done using Diaion HP-20 resin. Further, characterization of an antimicrobial compound by TLC, FTIR, in-situ bioautography analysis revealed the presence of cyclic lipopeptides, which is then purified by the combination of silica gel, size exclusion, dual gradient, and RP-HPLC chromatography techniques. Growth kinetic studies showed that Bacillus velezensis SK produces a mixture of lipopeptides (1.33 gL). The lipopeptide exhibits good pH (2-10) and temperature stability up to 80 °C. LC-ESI-MS analysis of partially purified lipopeptide identified variant of surfactin, further analysis of purified chromatographic fractions revealed the occurrence of most abundant C-surfactin homologues (m/z 1036.72 Da). The isolated surfactin exhibits good antimicrobial activity (1600 AU/ml) against drug-resistant food-born B. cereus and human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Hence, identified strain B. velezensis SK and its potent antibacterial surfactin lipopeptide could be used in various food and biomedical applications.

Hydration conditions as a critical factor in antibiotic-mediated bacterial competition outcomes.

Institute of Environmental Sciences, Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment, Hebrew University, Rehovot, Israel.

Antibiotic secretion plays a pivotal role in bacterial interference competition; yet, the impact of environmental hydration conditions on such competition is not well understood. Here, we investigate how hydration conditions affect interference competition among bacteria, studying the interactions between the antibiotic-producing FZB42 and two bacterial strains susceptible to its antibiotics: 85-10 and DC3000. Our results show that wet-dry cycles significantly modify the response of the susceptible bacteria to both the supernatant and cells of the antibiotic-producing bacteria, compared to constantly wet conditions.
