タイトル Identification and characterization of an ectoine biosynthesis gene cluster from Aestuariispira ectoiniformans sp. nov., isolated from seawater.
ジャーナル Microbiol Res
Abstract An ectoine-producing bacterium, designated SWCN16T, was isolated from seawater and could be grown in a medium containing up to 12 % NaCl. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SWCN16T belonged to the genus Aestuariispira, class Alphaproteobacteria, and shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.8% with Aestuariispira insulae CECT 8488T. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic characteristics findings of this study suggested that strain SWCN16T represented a novel species of the genus Aestuariispira. We propose the name Aestuariispira ectoiniformans sp. nov. for this species. Whole-genome sequencing analysis of the isolate revealed a putative ectABC gene cluster for ectoine biosynthesis. These genes were found to be functional using ectoine synthesis testing and S16-ectBAC cells, which were pET21a-ectBAC-transformed E. coli BL21 cells. We found that S16-ectBAC synthesized about 1.67 g/L extracellular ectoine and about 0.59 g/L intracellular ectoine via bioconversion at optimum conditions.
