Our study shows that the B. subtilis natural isolate PS-216 prevents adhesion to the abiotic surfaces and the development of submerged C. jejuni biofilm during coculture and destroys the preestablished C. jejuni biofilm. These insights are important for development of novel applications of B. subtilis that will reduce the use of antibiotics in human and animal health and increase productivity in animal breeding.The biosynthesis and incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into phospholipid membranes are unique features of certain marine Gammaproteobacteria inhabiting high-pressure and/or low-temperature environments. In these bacteria, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids are produced via the classical dissociated type II fatty acid synthase mechanism, while omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 205n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 226n-3) are produced by a hybrid polyketide/fatty acid synthase-encoded by the pfa genes-also referred to as the secondary lipid synthase mechanism. In this work, phenotypes associated with partial or complete loss of monounsaturated biosynthesis are shown to be compensated for by severalfold increased production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the model marine bacterium Photobacterium profundum SS9. One route to suppression of these phenotypes could be achieved by transposition of insertion sequences within or upstream of the fabD coding seqo two genetically distinct co-occurring pathways that utilize the same pool of intracellular precursors. Using a genetic approach, new insights into the interactions between these two biosynthetic pathways have been gained. Specifically, core fatty acid biosynthesis genes previously thought to be essential were found to be nonessential in strains harboring both pathways due to functional overlap between the two pathways.
