ABSTRACT When Bacillus subtilis is subjected to phosphate starvation, genes of the Pho regulon are either induced or repressed. Among those induced are genes encoding alkaline phosphatases (APases). A set of isogenic mutants, with a β-galactosidase gene transcriptionally fused to the inactivated target gene, was used to identify genes that influence the operation of the Pho regulon. One such gene was nhaC (previously yheL). In the absence of NhaC, growth and APase production were enhanced, while the production of other non-Pho-regulon secretory proteins (proteases and α-amylase) did not change. The influence of NhaC on growth, APase synthesis, and its own expression was dependent on the external Na+ concentration. Other monovalent cations such as Li+ or K+ had no effect. We propose a role for NhaC in the uptake of Na+. nhaC appears to be encoded by a monocistronic operon and, contrary to previous reports, is not in the same transcriptional unit as yheK, the gene immediately upstream. The increase in APase production was dependent on an active PhoR, the sensor kinase of the two-component system primarily responsible for controlling the Pho regulon. Transcriptional fusions showed that the phoPR operon and both phoA(encoding APaseA) and phoB (encoding APaseB) were hyperinduced in the absence of NhaC and repressed when this protein was overproduced. This suggests that NhaC effects APase production viaphoPR.

Low Levels

Alkaline phosphatases from vegetative and sporulating cells of B. subtilis have been shown previously to be identical in all criteria examined. Despite this, 15 mutants producing low levels of the phosphatase during phosphate starvation of vegetative cells have been shown to produce high levels of the sporulation-specific alkaline phosphatase. It has been shown by imrnunochemical means that seven of these mutants when starved of phosphate produce low levels of normal wild-type enzyme. The sporulation form of the enzyme from one mutant (P-l00) has been shown to be identical with the phosphatases from vegetative and sporulating cells of the wild type. It is proposed that all the mutants have regulatory defects in the control of the alkaline phosphatase from vegetative cells but nevertheless retain an intact structural gene for the enzyme and the control system for the phosphatase during sporulation.

Subtilis Bacteriophage

The protein product of cistron 3 of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage Ø29 is essential for viral DNA synthesis and is covalently bound to the 5’-termini of the Ø29 DNA. When the DNA-protein complex is cleaved with a restriction endonuclease, the protein is bound to the two terminal fragments. The 28,000 dalton protein can be visualized by electron microscopy as a small dot and often is seen only when two ends are in apposition as in multimers or in glutaraldehyde-fixed aggregates. We sought to improve the visibility of these small proteins by use of antibody labeling.

ZusammenfassungZentrales Bauteil des Genius® 90 Therapie Systems ist der sogenannte Genius-Tank, dem die frische Dialyseflüssigkeit entnommen und in den die verbrauchte Lösung nach der Dialyse zurückgeführt wird. Daher kommt der sicheren Aufbereitung des Systems eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Hierfür wird ein Aufbereitungsverfahren unter Verwendung von UV-Licht in Kombination mit einem chemischen Desinfektionsmittel angewendet. Ziel der hier beschriebenen Untersuchung war es, die Wirkungsbreite und Wirkungstiefe dieses Aufbereitungsverfahrens unter praxisnahen Phase-3-Bedingungen zu ermitteln. Dazu wurde das Gerät mit Mikroorganismen und Viren künstlich kontaminiert und die Wirkung der einzelnen Verfahrensschritte ermittelt. Im Gegensatz zu der üblichen Vorgehensweise praxisnaher Untersuchungen machen Aufbereitungsverfahren medizinischer Geräte unter Phase-3-Kriterien meist eine neuartige Arbeitsweise erforderlich – im Falle der hier vorgestellten Untersuchung sogar die Konstruktion eines speziellen Geräts zur Platzierung von Keimträgen im Genius-Tank. Im Ergebnis konnte gezeigt werden, dass bereits UV-Licht allein sowie in Kombination mit einem chemischen Desinfektionsmittel unter praxisnahen Bedingungen eine sichere Wirksamkeit gegen Bakterien (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) und bakterielle Sporen (Bacillus subtilis), Schimmelpilze (Aspergillus brasiliensis) und Viren (Murines Parvovirus) besitzt.

Mikroba Bacillus subtilis merupakan agen pengendali hayati mempunyai kelebihan sebagai Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) yaitu dapat berfungsi sebagai biofertilizer, biostimulan, biodekomposer dan bioprotektan. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui potensi B. subtilis dalam merombak bahan organik sebagai usaha meningkatkan ketersediaan bahan organik tanah yang semakin menurun. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Petak Terbagi dengan berbagai  bahan organik sebagai petak utama (B0 = tanpa bahan organik, B1 = kotoran ayam,  B2 = kotoran kambing, B3 = kotoran sapi) dan aplikasi B.subtilis sebagai anak petak (A0 = 0 cc/L, A1 = 5cc/L, A2 = 10 cc/L, Pengamatan meliputi variabel tinggi tanaman, indeks luas daun, jumlah buah per tanaman, berat buah per tanaman, dan bahan organik tanah. Data pengamatan  dianalisis ragam  menggunakan  Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) versi 25 dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan untuk mengetahui signifikansi perbedaan antar perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat interaksi antara bahan organik kotoran ternak dan konsentrasi B. subtilis terhadap semua variabel pengamatan. Potensi B. subtilis sangat baik dalam mendekomposisi bahan organik yang ditunjukkan dengan peningkatan bahan organik, dan hasil terbaik pada kotoran  sapi (B3) dan konsentrasi B. subtilis 15 mL/L masing-masing sebesar 46.47 % dan 34.76 %. Variabel pertumbuhan tidak berbeda nyata kecuali tinggi tanaman dengan pertambahan tinggi paling banyak pada pemberian kotoran kambing sebesar 170.69 %.
