The characteristics of a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens isolated from the intestine of Arapaima gigas, selected for its ability to generate inhibition of multiple pathogenic bacteria of fishes were analyzed by using molecular tools such as PCR and mass spectrometry - MALDI TOF / TOFM. The results showed through PCR that this strain has key genes for the generation of antimicrobial peptides such as bmyB (bacillomycin L synthetase B), fenD (fengycin synthetase), srfAA (subunit 1 surfactin synthetase), bacA (bacilysin biosynthesis protein) and iturin (iturin A). In addition, by mass spectrometry analysis were detected bacteriocins (plipastatin, gramicidin, fengycin, surfactin), intestine binding proteins (like-enolase), antimicrobial peptide transport proteins (ABC-transporters) and immune system stimulation proteins like flagelin. Collagenase, chitinases and xylose-isomerases protein...

Se analizaron las características de una cepa de Bacillus amyloliquefaciens aislada del intestino de Arapaima gigas, seleccionada por su capacidad para generar inhibición de múltiples bacterias patógenas de peces, mediante el uso de herramientas moleculares como PCR y espectrometría de masas - MALDI TOF/TOF. Los resultados mostraron a través de PCR que esta cepa cuenta con genes claves para la generación de péptidos antimicrobianos como bmyB (bacillomycin L synthetase B), fenD (fengycin sintetasa), srfAA (subunidad 1 surfactin sintetasa), bacA (proteína de biosíntesis de bacilysin) e iturin (iturin A). Además, mediante el análisis por espectrometría de masas se detectaron bacteriocinas (plipastatin, gramicidin, fengycin, surfactin), proteínas de fijación al intestino (like-enolase), proteinas transportadoras de péptidos antimicrobianos (ABC-transporters) y proteínas de e...
