Isolation and characterization of a novel analyte from Bacillus subtilis SC-8 antagonistic to Bacillus cereus

Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis CBMDC3f with antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive foodborne pathogenic bacteria: UV-MALDI-TOF MS analysis of its bioactive compounds

“…A similar situation has been reported by Gomaa (2013), who determined that B. licheniformis M104 mainly synthesized lipopeptides active against S. aureus ATCC25928; however these compounds were not able to inhibit Listeria. In this sense, Lee et al (2010) also informed the specific antagonistic activity against B. cereus by an antibiotic-like lipopeptide compound produced by B. subtilis, which however had no inhibitory effect on Listeria nor on S. aureus.…”

“…Surfactins are among the most powerful biosurfactants and they exert antibacterial, antiviral and antimycoplasm activities (Seydlova and Svobodova 2008;Savadogo et al 2011); in turn, fengycins and iturins are known mainly for their strong antifungal properties (Hiradate et al 2002;Patel et al 2011). Even though there are several scientific articles about the peptides and lipopeptides with antimicrobial properties synthesized by different B. subtilis strains, the phylogenetic characterization of those strains were only done up to the Bacillus species level (Lee et al 2010;Thasana et al 2010;Khochamit et al 2015).…”

Screening, identification and antagonistic activity of halo stable Bacillus sp. Mk22 used as probiotic in Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798

“…showed antagonistic activties against all shrimp pathogens (V. paraheamolyticus (16 mm) and V. harveii (9 mm)). Lee et al (2010) reported a novel analysis of Bacillus subtilis SC-8 antagonistic to Bacillus cereus. Liu et al (2008) proved antagonistic activities of volatiles from four strains of Bacillus spp.…”

Genome Sequencing of Bacillus subtilis SC-8, Antagonistic to the Bacillus cereus Group, Isolated from Traditional Korean Fermented-Soybean Food

“…Potential genes related to antibiotics that were not present in B. subtilis 168 and B. subtilis BSn5 were also found in the B. subtilis SC-8 chromosome (BSSC8_21740 to BSSC8_21920). These genes may encode the novel antimicrobial peptides displaying narrow activity against the B. cereus group, as previously described (4,5). Therefore, B. subtilis strain SC-8 is a possible candidate for use as an antagonistic bacterium against foodborne pathogens, to prevent food poisoning, and as an alternative fermenting bacterium in the fermented-soybean food industry because of these features of the SC-8 genome.…”

“…subtilis SC-8 was isolated from Korean traditional fermented-soybean food and was found to display narrow antimicrobial activity against B. cereus group species, such as B. cereus, B. anthracis, B. mycoides, B. pseudomycoides, B. thuringiensis, and B. weihenstephanensis (4,5).…”
