Abstract:

Bacillus LM,which inhibits Aspergillus niger,was analyzed with genomics and UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. Combined with morphological characteristics,16S rRNA sequence and gyrA gene cluster analysis,the strain was primarily identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The analysis of whole genome showed that the genome size of the strain was 4 000 885 bp and GC content was 46.24%. The analysis of antiSMASH demonstrated that there were 11 secondary metabolite gene clusters and most of them encoded antibacterial substances. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis revealed that the molecular weights of 10 chemical compounds were consistent with those by 3 predicted gene clusters via antiSMASH,which were lipopeptide antibiotics-like surfactin,iturin and fengycin. It could be speculated that the B. amyloliquefaciens activity of suppressing A. niger was associated with those 3 substances.
