Introduction:

The Brevibacillus was a newly classified genus formed in 1996 after the reassignment of the species group bacillus brevis. Some of these genera bacteria were considered as peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRP) and used globally in agricultural and environmental remediation due to their PGP characteristics including production of auxins, production of ammonia, antifungal and antibacterial activity. The composition of this genus Brevibacillus is very substantial. These are endospores, aerobic, facultatively anaerobic, and rod-shaped bacteria with incremental reclassifications in strongly phylogenetic heterogeneous molecular biology.  Bacillus and few other associated microorganisms or bacteria are developed throughout the nature with a various types of carbon sources for heterotrophic development and autotrophs, including, alkalophilic, thermophilic, psychrophilic, halophilic, and acidophilic bacteria. 

Habitat:

This is present in different habitats, including rocks and soil, aquatic sources, and the waste of numerous organisms and animals. The brevibacillus environment overlaps with Bacillus. There are separate representatives of Brevibacillus, i.e., B. laterosporus strains with larvicidal activity, Brevibacillus brevis, Brevibacillus agri, and Brevibacillus laterosporus was linked to infection in human. A strain of Brevibacillus brevis have been researched for its usage in bio-control of plant pathogens due to its manufacturing of antimicrobial. According to its antimicrobial activity, Brevis was examined for its usage for the biocontrol of plant pathogens. The strain of the HPD31 B. choshinensis is an effective source of the recombinant epidermal factor of human development, which transforms the epidermal factor into biologically inactive multimers. Like Escherichia coli, B. brevis 47-5Q demonstrate greater competence of transformation using the Tris–polyethylene glycol process or electroporation.

History:

In 1996, a genetic relocation of species earlier assigned to Bacillus brevis was established in the genus of Brevibacillus. A. Brevis, together with nine other species, was first described and relocate as a species of the fresh Brevibacillus genus. The cluster of Brevis contains ten species, that is to assume Brevibacillus borstelensis, Brevibacillus brevis, Brevibacillus agri, Brevibacillus laterosporus, Brevibacillus. thermoruber, Brevibacillus centrosporus, Brevibacillus parabrevis, Brevibacillus formosus, Brevibacillus choshinensis, and Brevibacillus reuszeri. Currently, 20 species with issued names are in the genus Brevibacillus.

Envelope ultrastructure:

There is a layer known as the S-layer in nearly all Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. This layer has a two-dimensional arrangement composed of a crystalline protein, which in turn creates a surface layer on the cells of prokaryotes. On the top of the protoplasmic membrane there is actually a three-layered peptidoglycan layer of the genus B.brevi. The three-layered thickness is about 27-29 nano meter. These layers have different diameters. The first layer or top layer  has a diameter of 4.2 nano meter, the second layer has diameter of 8.5 nano meter while the third layer or inner layer is 2.1-3.7 nano meter in diameter.

Metabolism:

Ordering and interpretation of the genome of B. Brevis NBRC 100599 reported a single circular chromosome comprising 5,950 projected protein-coding genes, among them nearly 30 percent of the genome of Bacillus had the pathologies. Due to the very large quantity of gens of this particular species, it results in burden on the environment to mostly those that activates the sigma factors and some chemotaxis receptors. This genus can protect it self from any osmotic stress by  three  different encoded operons known as the opuAA, opuAB and opuAC which they accumulate by osmoprotectans from the exogenous sources. Homeostasis of coper B is done by the copZ gene of B.bacillus. B.bacillus has the ability to synthesize plant growth harmones which in turn boosts up the growth of plant . B. Strains Indole acetic acid is also reported to be synthesized in brevis. Brevibacillus genome analysis disclose the existence of many ABC transporters, amino acid permeases, and sugar transporters with phosphotransferase (PTS) indicating carbohydrate uptake into the cell. About Brevis it was known that it is unable to digest various carbohydrates like glucose, galactose, mannose and much more. The existence of the fructose phosphoenolpyruvate sugar phosphotransferase mechanism as well as fructose and glycerol kinases showed that this organism would only pick up fructose and glycerol and produce acids.

Aerobic respiration:

Brevibacillus strains are divided by the growth and aerobic development. Oxygen is the only one playing role in electron acceptor that proceeds the production of other strains. Two cytochrome terminal oxidases were described for B. Brevis: caa3- cytochrome c oxidase and quinol oxidase aa3-type. The B subunits three. Stearothermophilus cytochrome c oxidase and the four thermophilic subunits Bacillus PS 3 were reported. the equivalent participation of both divisions of oxidase, a trait characteristic of B. brevis respiratory system, and the conditions of cultivation influence the number of cytochrome components in B. Brevis. Brevis. They also supposed that gene-disruption of quinol oxidase (qox) could produce a large yield of B growth. Brevis helps in the production of more competitive proteins. A. Brevis have same kind of menaquinones to B. Subtilis, B.  stearothermophilus.

For quinol-cytochrome c reductase and caa3 cytochrome c oxidase (cytochrome c branch) or 00,-type quinol oxidase (quinol oxidase branch), menaquinol in the membrane is oxidized to form. Often present in B is other cytochrome elements, such as succinate dehydrogenase (cytochrome 6-558) and a minor cytochrome c. Brevis. Brevis. Many major dehydrogenases, such as NADH, malate, succinate, 1-glycerol phosphate, and lactate dehydrogenases minimize menaquinones. B Dehydrogenase NADH. Maybe the brevis is not an I-type complex which can suppose that the enzyme can not pump the protons. This is defined to some degree by brevis which allows the aerobic electron transport chain.

Bio-control agent:

Spp. Brevibacillus are dormant agents of bio-control and it is know an active area of research. B. Laterosporus bacteria serve as necessary bio-control agent counter various insects from Lepidoptera to Coleoptera, and can also be used for the regulation of nematode owing to their capacity to generate extracellular neutral protease. A strain of laterosporus. Brevibacillus can grow a huge area of antifungal-activated metabolites that can  fight the plant diseases as biocontrol agents.

Biotechnological applications of Brevibacillus:

The development of recombinant protein B. Choshinensis is a Gram-positive bacterium that has excellent heterologous protein expression capabilities. It is an ideal habitat for the development of intracellular proteins, sometimes generating intracellular proteins in soluble form in the cytoplasm without creating bodies for inclusion. The Brevibacillus expression mechanism makes extremely methodical development of a hidden type of the target protein. Many shuttle vectors exist within B. Choshinensis, with E. Coli, with the proponents constitutive and inducible. PNCMO2 is one of the shuttle vectors which contains the host cell wall protein-derived P2 promoter as its expression promoter. This procedure helps in the production of active protein in a large amount  and is well adapted for eukaryotic protein production. B. Choshinensis produces low concentration of protease which ables the quite recovery with minimal degradation of the secreted proteins which is the used as a good host for the growth a heterogenous proteins. There are records of thiol disulfide oxidoreductase Bbd being found at the periphery of B. Cells consist of choshinensis. That facilitates the ability of the Brevibacillus systems to form a disulfide bond (commonly needed in eukaryotic proteins). It is found from some research that the Brevibacillus upgrade the creation of disulfide bonds by catalyzing protein disulfide exchange reactions with the aid of certain enzymes that exist on the surface of viable cells, and these enzymes are functionally homologous to eukaryotic protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and disulfide bond-forming enzymes (Dsb) in E. coli. With few different protein is given out in microorganism with some bonds of disulfide it creates a commonly inactive and insoluble protein which is basically not properly folded. Because of too much proteins biosynthesis the host cell strain can be reduced just because of the gene insertion which codes for the disulfide oxidation and reduction reaction in to cell of host and with the growth of protein-of-interest fusion expression. Its bacterial structure consists of two pathways for protein, these are Sec and TAT. The Sec mechanism commonly is unable to show cytoplasmic proteins. The peptide signal for B. Choshinensis secretory system Bacillus type TAT signal peptide enhanced cytoplasmic protein secretion that is generally folded into the cytoplasm Growth of inducible promoters could be quite critical to further improve the capacity of the Brevibacillus expression mechanism to deliver potentially harmful foreign proteins to the host cells. It also support to make new ways of Section for the B. Choshinensis and also worthy for the study of enzyme and the development of agriculture.
