Antibacterial activity of Porphyra spp. epiphytic bacteria and polyketide synthase I gene screening
Based on the antibacterial analysis, we screened Polyketide synthase (PKS I) gene from the epiphytic bacteria of Porphyra spp., in order to obtain the PKS I positive strains and detect the potential connection between the PKS pathway and the antibacterial mechanisms. A total of 31 bacteria with broa...

Summary: | Based on the antibacterial analysis, we screened Polyketide synthase (PKS I) gene from the epiphytic bacteria of Porphyra spp., in order to obtain the PKS I positive strains and detect the potential connection between the PKS pathway and the antibacterial mechanisms.
A total of 31 bacteria with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity were screened by agar-screening methods. The 16S rDNA and the Ketosynthase gene were amplified from the genome DNA of these bacteria, which were cloned into pMD19-T vector for sequencing analysis.
Porphyra spp. epiphytic bacteria showed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Three PKS I positive epiphytic bacteria were obtained from Wenzhou rotten Porphyra spp. samples which had high antibacterial activity. The BLAST results indicated that the Ketosynthase fragments of PKS I from the strains of WPhG3, WPySwl and WPySw2 shared highest similarity (98%, 99%, 98%) to the strains of Bacillus subtilis subsp. Subtilis str. 168 (NP_389602), Bacillus subtilis (ABR19776) and Aspergillus carb |
