- Abstract
Despite hydrolytic exoenzymes and biosurfactants having been gradually reported from the poriferan microbiome, little is known about these bioproducts in microorganisms inhabiting Homoscleromorpha sponges. Here, we investigated the production of hydrolases and biosurfactants in bacteria isolated from three shallow-water homoscleromorph species, Oscarella sp., Plakina cyanorosea, and Plakina cabofriense. A total of 99 of 107 sponge-associated bacterial isolates exhibited activity for at least one of the analyzed hydrolases. Following fermentation in Luria–Bertani (LB) and Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB), two isolates, 80BH11 and 80B1:1010b, showed higher lipase and peptidase activities. Both of them belonged to the Bacillus genus and were isolated from Oscarella. Central composite design leveraged up the peptidase activity in 280% by Bacillus sp. 80BH11 in the TSB medium for 48 h at 30 °C. The optimized model also revealed that pH 6.5 and 45 °C were the best conditions for peptidase reaction. In addition, Bacillus sp. 80BH11 was able to release highly emulsifying and remarkably stable surfactants in the LB medium. Surfactin was finally elucidated as the biosurfactant generated by this sponge-derived Bacillus. In conclusion, we hope to have set the scenery for further prospecting of industrial enzymes and biosurfactants in Homoscleromorpha microbiomes.
