    Abstract It has been recently shown, that certain strains/isolates of Bacillus subtilis can be used as a probiotic for humans. The production of the macrocyclic sactibiotic subtilosin in B. subtilis ATCC 6633 is highly regulated. To improve the subtilosin productivity of B. subtilis, different growth conditions were compared for maximal expression of the sbo promoter that regulates the expression of the subtilosin biosynthetic gene cluster. Oxygen-limiting conditions led to a strong increase of sbo promoter activities compared to aerobic conditions, and accordingly, the subtilosin amount determined by reversed phase HPLC (7.8 mg/L) was 15-fold superior to the amount of aerobic grown cultures (0.5 mg/L). A further promising enhancement of the subtilosin yield was achieved using a deletion mutant that is avoiding the general transition state regulator protein AbrB. The subtilosin titer of 42 mg/L produced by ΔabrB cells grown under oxygen-limiting conditions corresponds to an 84-fold increase compared to the subtilosin titer obtained from B. subtilis wild type cells propagated in aerobic conditions. Furthermore, evidence is provided that oxygen-limiting conditions led to a strong decrease in the productivity of the lantipeptide subtilin suggesting contrary regulatory mechanisms for the B. subtilis antimicrobials subtilin and subtilosin.

    Abstract Two dozen field-collected Bacillus and a dozen Bacillus spizizenii wild-type strains from strain collections were selected on the basis of their antagonistic properties against the Gram-positive strain Micrococcus luteus. Based on their genetic and antibiotic profiles, they were characterized (subtilin encoding spaS gene sequences, mass spectrometric, and quantitative-reversed phase liquid chromatographic analyses, as well as the presence of the lanthionine cyclase protein SpaC by western blotting), seven novel producers of the lanthipeptide subtilin. Phylogenetic analyses of the subtilin-producing wild-type strains based on their 16S rRNA sequences showed that all seven strains could be classified as B. spizizenii: The field-collected strains HS and N5, as well as strains DSM 618, 1087, 6395, 6405, and 8439 from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures. To the best of our knowledge, all B. spizizenii strains described so far are characterized by the fact that they can produce a lanthipeptide of the subtilin family. Both the lanthipeptide structures and the organization and sequences of the 16S rRNA-encoding genes suggest a subdivision of B. spizizenii into subspecies: The subtilin-producing B. spizizenii strains are distinctly different from the entianin-producing B. spizizenii typing strain TU-B-10

    Abstract Background: Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are the most frequent tumours in intact female dogs and show strong similarities with human breast cancer. In contrast to the human disease there are no standardised diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers available to guide treatment. We recently identified a prognostic 18-gene RNA signature that could stratify human breast cancer patients into groups with significantly different risk of distant metastasis formation. Here, we assessed whether expression patterns of these RNAs were also associated with canine tumour progression.
    Method: A sequential forward feature selection process was performed on a previously published microarray dataset of 27 CMTs with and without lymph node (LN) metastases to identify RNAs with significantly differential expression to identify prognostic genes within the 18-gene signature. Using an independent set of 33 newly identified archival CMTs, we compared expression of the identified prognostic subset on RNA and protein basis using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry on FFPE-tissue sections.
    Results: While the 18-gene signature as a whole did not have any prognostic power, a subset of three RNAs: Col13a1, Spock2, and Sfrp1, together completely separated CMTs with and without LN metastasis in the microarray set. However, in the new independent set assessed by RT-qPCR, only the Wnt-antagonist Sfrp1 showed significantly increased mRNA abundance in CMTs without LN metastases on its own (p = 0.013) in logistic regression analysis. This correlated with stronger SFRP1 protein staining intensity of the myoepithelium and/or stroma (p < 0.001). SFRP1 staining, as well as β-catenin membrane staining, was significantly associated with negative LN status (p = 0.010 and 0.014 respectively). However, SFRP1 did not correlate with β-catenin membrane staining (p = 0.14).
    Conclusion: The study identified SFRP1 as a potential biomarker for metastasis formation in CMTs, but lack of SFRP1 was not associated with reduced membrane-localisation of β-catenin in CMTs.

    Abstract The second oratio was a keynote speech delivered by Torsten Stein, the Director of the Institute of European Studies and holder of the chair for European law and European Public Law at Saarland University, Germany. He delivered his speech during November 2012 at the 3rd Human Rights Indaba on The Role of International Law in Understanding and Applying the Socio-economic Rights in South Africa's Bill of Rights, which was held by the Faculty of Law (NWU, Potchefstroom Campus) in collaboration with the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation. He shared some thoughts about the nature, development and implementation of socio-economic rights within an international and European setting.
