Abstract
One of the significant challenges during the purification and characterization of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from Bacillus sp. is the interference of unutilized peptides from complex medium components during analytical procedures. In this study, a semi-synthetic medium was devised to overcome this challenge. Using a genetic algorithm, the production medium of AMP is optimized. The parent organism, Bacillus licheniformis MCC2514, produces AMP in very small quantities. This AMP is known to inhibit RNA biosynthesis. The findings revealed that lactose, NH4Cl and NaNO3 were crucial medium constituents for enhanced AMP synthesis. The potency of the AMP produced was studied using bacterium, Kocuria rhizophila ATCC 9341. The AMP produced from the optimized medium was eightfold higher than that produced from the unoptimized medium. Furthermore, activity was increased by 1.5-fold when cultivation conditions were standardized using the optimized medium. Later, AMP was produced in a 5 L bioreactor under controlled conditions, which led to similar results as those of shake-flask production. The mode of action of optimally produced AMP was confirmed to be inhibition of RNA biosynthesis. Here, we demonstrate that improved production of AMP is possible with the developed semi-synthetic medium recipe and could help further AMP production in an industrial setup.
