Ten thermophilic bacterial strains were isolated from manure compost. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA genes and biochemical characterization allowed identification of four different species belonging to four genera: Geobacillus thermodenitrificans, Bacillus smithii, Ureibacillus suwonensis and Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus. PCR-RFLP profiles of the 16S-ITS-23S rRNA region allowed us to distinguish two subgroups among the G. thermodenitrificans isolates. Isolates were screened for thermotolerant hydrolytic activities (60-65°C). Thermotolerant lipolytic activities were detected for G. thermodenitrificans, A. thermoaerophilus and B. smithii. Thermotolerant protease, α-amylase and xylanase activities were also observed in the G. thermodenitrificans group. These species represent a source of potential novel thermostable enzymes for industrial applications.
从粪肥堆肥中分离出了 10 株嗜热细菌菌株。基于 16S rRNA 基因的系统发育分析和生化特征鉴定,确定了属于四个属的四个不同种:嗜热地芽孢杆菌、史密斯芽孢杆菌、苏旺尼亚芽孢杆菌和嗜热好氧菌。16S-ITS-23S rRNA 区的 PCR-RFLP 图谱允许我们区分 G. thermodenitrificans 分离株中的两个亚群。对耐热水解活性(60-65°C)进行了筛选。在 G. thermodenitrificans、A. thermoaerophilus 和 B. smithii 中检测到耐热脂肪酶活性。在 G. thermodenitrificans 组中还观察到耐热蛋白酶、α-淀粉酶和木聚糖酶活性。这些物种代表了工业应用中具有潜在新型耐热酶的来源。
