An extracellular aminopeptidase encoded by the <i>ywaD</i> gene plays an important role in supplying nitrogen nutrition for the growth of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> 168
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To investigate the physiological role of an extracellular aminopeptidase (BSAP168) encoded by the ywaD gene in Bacillus subtilis 168, we constructed the ywaD-deletion mutant (BS-AP-K). Compared with that of the wild-type strain, the maximum growth rate of BS-AP-K was reduced by 28% when grown in soybean protein medium at 37 °C, but not in Luria-Bertani medium. The impaired growth rate was more marked at higher temperature and could be compensated by supplementation of amino acid to the culture media. Further studies showed that in regards to the amino acid compositions and peptide distribution in the culture supernatants, there was an obvious difference between the culture supernatants of wild-type and BS-AP-K strains. In addition, another mutant strain (BS-AP-R) was constructed by replacing ywaD with ywaD-ΔPA to evaluate the effect of a protease-associated domain in BSAP168 on growth. All these findings indicated that BSAP168 played an important role in supplying the amino acids required for growth.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
