Genome sequence analysis and characterization of Bacillus altitudinis B12, a polylactic acid- and keratin-degrading bacterium

Sergio Bordel et al.

Summary: This study reports the genome of Bacillus altitudinis B12, a bacterium that efficiently degrades PLA and keratin. The genome analysis revealed the presence of genes encoding keratinase and PLA depolymerase, which explain the biodegradation capability of the strain. This bacterium has potential applications in environmentally friendly biotechnology.

Interdisciplinary Overview of Lipopeptide and Protein-Containing Biosurfactants

Regis Antonioli Junior et al.

Summary: Biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules that can lower interfacial and superficial tensions. They are biodegradable and have a wide diversity of categories, with lipopeptides being the most abundant and well-known. Protein-containing biosurfactants are less studied but could be a valuable alternative. Understanding the harsh conditions that target organisms can sustain is crucial for successful implementation. This article explores the biotechnological applications of lipopeptide and protein-containing biosurfactants, as well as their natural role and the potential research possibilities using meta-omics and machine learning.

Beehives possess their own distinct microbiomes

Lorenzo A. Santorelli et al.

Summary: This study investigates the bacterial communities in different beehives and finds that each hive has its own distinct microbiome, which is influenced by plants, beekeeping methods, and the bacterial communities in the surrounding environment. Therefore, the microbiome of beehives can be used as a valuable biosensor to inform the health of honeybees and their surrounding environment.

Summary: The expanding global population and decreasing arable land are major concerns for the planet. One major cause of declining arable land is increased soil salinity, which is unfavorable for crop cultivation. Utilization of saline land for agriculture is possible with the invention of biofertilizers, such as those made from Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria.

Identification of Antimicrobial Compounds in Two Streptomyces sp. Strains Isolated From Beehives

Fernando Santos-Beneit et al.

Summary: The World Health Organization warns of the increasing deaths caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria and emphasizes the need for short-term alternatives. Recent studies have found that honeybees and their products carry Streptomyces species with strong antibacterial activity. This study investigates the antibiotic profiles of two Streptomyces strains isolated from beehives and suggests their potential in discovering bioactive compounds with antimicrobial and anticancer properties.

Bacillus licheniformis: The unexplored alternative for the anaerobic production of lipopeptide biosurfactants?

Eduardo J. Gudina et al.

Summary: Microbial biosurfactants are potential candidates to replace chemical surfactants. However, their production at industrial scale faces challenges. One alternative is the development of foam-free processes using anaerobic growth of biosurfactant-producing microorganisms. Bacillus licheniformis strains, which are better adapted to anaerobic growth, could be a good option for anaerobic production of lipopeptide biosurfactants.
