“…Like B. megaterium other members of Bacillales are attractive industrial organisms with known capabilities to produce enzymes, recombinant proteins, antibiotics, purine nucleotides, insecticidal proteins, vitamins, sugars biopolymer, and biofertilizers [51][52][53][54][55][56][57]. These strains are gaining interest for economic production of these compounds for a variety of reasons including high growth rates, short fermentation cycle times, ability to tolerate wide pH and temperature ranges, easy to maintain in spore forms, capacity to secrete proteins into the extracellular medium, amenable to genetic engineering, and the GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status [55].…”

Bacillus megaterium is gaining recognition as an experimental model and biotechnologically important microorganism. Recently, descriptions of new strains of B. megaterium and closely related species isolated from diverse habitats have increased. Therefore, its identification requires several tests in combination which is usually time consuming and difficult to do. We propose using the uniqueness of the polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase C gene of B. megaterium in designing primers that amplify the 0.9 kb region of the phaC for its identification. The PCR method was optimized to amplify 0.9 kb region of phaC gene. After optimization of the PCR reaction, two methods were investigated in detail. Method I gave an amplification of a single band of 0.9 kb only in B. megaterium and was demonstrated by several strains of B. megaterium isolated from different habitats. The use of Method I did not result in the amplification of the phaC gene with other members of Bacillales. The specificity for identification of B. megaterium was confirmed using sequencing of amplicon and RT-PCR. Method II showed multiple banding patterns of nonspecific amplicons among polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulating members of Bacillales unique to the respective species. These methods are rapid and specific for the identification of polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulating B. megaterium and members of Bacillales.

It is important to develop integrated crop production strategies that enhance the productive ability of crops in a sustainable manner for the developing nations worldwide. Intensive farming practice of high yielding crop production is mainly dependent on chemical inputs as fertilizer, pesticide and weedicides. However, excessive use of chemical inputs has negative impact on environment in the form of soil infertility, ground water contamination, imbalance of biological ecosystem and cost inputs. Soil health is an important aspect of productive sustainable agriculture and in recent years maintaining soil quality can reduce the problems of land degradation, decreasing soil fertility through use of advanced technologies in the field of biofertilizers. Biofertilizers can produce mineral nutrients through natural processes of biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and also stimulation plant growth through the synthesis of plant growth promoting substances. Thus, in recent years biofertilizers have become an important component of integrated management for enhanced crop production. This paper reviews the facts and observations regarding an important biofertilizer microorganism Azotobacter chroococcum and its potential for crop production based.

“…What is more, organic compounds, which have been out of people's attention for economical reasons, are again spotlighted along with their application to improved price competitiveness, low risk of environmental pollution and innovative tools of genetic engineering. We also expect a large room for the role of metagenome in increasing agricultural productivity and the utilization and reformulation of biomass [54,55]. Besides, research on human metagenome can derive the causes of diseases and new treatment methods through the analyses of qualitative and quantitative dynamics of microbial communities [56,57].…”

The trend of recent researches, in which synthetic biology and white technology through system approaches based on "Omics technology" are recognized as the ground of biotechnology, indicates the coming of the 'metagenome era' that accesses the genomes of all microbes aiming at the understanding and industrial application of the whole microbial resources. The remarkable advance of technologies for digging out and analyzing metagenome is enabling not only practical applications of metagenome but also system approaches on a mixed-genome level based on accumulated information. In this situation, the present review is purposed to introduce the trends and methods of research on metagenome and to examine big science led by related resources in the future.
