For the detection of iturin producers by PCR screening, we used forward ITUP1-F and reverse ITUP2-R primers which are capable of detecting a 2-kb region that includes the intergenic sequence between the ituA and ituB genes. A 675-bp fragment from the gene sfp from B. subtilis encoding 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase involved in the biosynthesis of surfactin was targeted for amplification by using primers P17 and P18. Other two pairs of primers were BACC1F and BACC1R for bacillomycin D and FEND1F and FEND1R for potential fengycin producers, respectively. The results of the screening showed that the majority of tested strains had more than one biosynthetic operon, since 81% possessed the genes for bacillomycin D production, 54% for surfactin, 38% for iturin and 25% for fengycin production. |
