Bacilysin-negative(bac-) strain NG79 was found to be oligosporogenous. When compared with the parental strain, it was 200-300 times less resistant to heat, chloroform, and lysozyme treatments, and the spores contained considerably less dipicolinate. When NG79 was transduced, the oligosporogenous phenotype was found to be cured in all the transductants tested. External addition of bacilysin to the cultures of this strain markedly improved each measure of spore quality. The time of its addition determined the extent of acquired resistance, the optimum being 4-7 h after inoculation. This suggested that bacilysin might influence sporulation prior to stage I. Bacilysin activity completely disappeared from the extracellular fluid of aged cultures. It was demonstrated that the dipeptide can be cleaved by the alkaline serine protease that is produced by Bacillus subtilis.

Bacilysin biosynthesis by a partially-purified enzyme fraction from Bacillus subtilis Yazgan, A; Özcengiz, Gülay; Ozcengiz, E; Kilinc, K; Marahiel, MA; Alaeddinoglu, NG (Elsevier BV, 2001-10-04) Biosynthesis of dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin by a partially purified enzyme prepared from Bacillus subtilis PY79 was studied. Cell material was desintegrated by treatment with lysozyme and sonication and the extract was subjected to ammonium sulfate fractionation. Bacilysin-synthesizing enzyme activity was precipitated between 40% to 70% ammonium sulfate saturation. In vitro enzymatical synthesis of bacilysin was confirmed by performing thin layer chromatographic comparison of the antibiotic formed with t...
BACILYSIN PRODUCTION BY BACILLUS-SUBTILIS - EFFECTS OF BACILYSIN, PH AND TEMPERATURE Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1991-01-01) The dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin, when added externally to the early exponential-phase cultures, markedly limited its own synthesis. It was shown in cell-free extracts that the feedback effect does not involve the inhibition of bacilysin synthetase, the enzyme catalyzing bacilysin formation. We also studied pH and temperature dependence of bacilysin production. Production was highest at about pH 6.8 and at 25-degrees-C.
Regulatory effects of oxygen transfer on overexpression of recombinant benzaldehyde lyase production by Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) Kaya-Çeliker, Hande; Angardi, Vahideh; Çalık, Pınar (Wiley, 2009-10-27) Effects of oxygen transfer (OT) on benzaldehyde lyase (BAL) production by recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLySs were investigated at an air‐inlet rate of QO/VR = 0.5 vvm and agitation rates of N = 250, 500, 625, and 750/min; and at constant dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of CDO = 0.04 and 0.08 mol/m3, on a glucose based defined medium. The highest cell concentration (CX = 3.0 kg/m3) and volumetric BAL activity (A = 1095 U/cm3) were obtained at CDO = 0.08 mol/m3. KLa increased with agitation rate and de...
Degradation of chlorinated compounds by Penicillium camemberti in batch and up-flow column reactors Taseli, BK; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-01) A Penicillium camemberti strain isolated in this laboratory was studied for its ability to degrade chlorinated compounds including pentachlorophenol (PCP), 2-chlorophenol and trichloroacetic acid. The batch experiments were conducted in shake flasks using PCP as co-substrate resulting in around 56% PCP removal by the fungus. Experiments in shake flasks not containing acetate but Tween 80, produced 86% of PCP and 53% of 2-chlorophenol removals in 21 days. PCP was also fed to a column reactor with an adsorbab...
Inorganic phosphate has a crucial effect on Cry3Aa delta-endotoxin production Kurt, Aygül; Özcengiz, Gülay (Wiley, 2005-01-01) Aims: The study aimed at increasing Cry3Aa delta-endotoxin production by a local isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t. strain Mm2). To this end, different nutritional conditions were tested for their effects on Cry3Aa yields.
