Abstract
Indigoidine, as a kind of natural blue pigment, is widely used in textiles, food, and pharmaceuticals and is mainly synthesized from l-glutamine via a condensation reaction by indigoidine synthetases, most of which originates from Streptomyces species. However, due to the complex metabolic switches of Streptomyces, most of the researchers choose to overexpress indigoidine synthetases in the heterologous host to achieve high-level production of indigoidine. Considering the advantages of low-cost culture medium and simple culture conditions during the large-scale culture of Streptomyces, here, an updated regulation system derived from the Streptomyces self-sustaining system, constructed in our previous study, was established for the highly efficient production of indigoidine in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The updated system was constructed via promoter mining and σhrdB expression optimization, and this system was applied to precisely and continuously regulate the expression of indigoidine synthetase IndC derived from Streptomyces albus J1704. Finally, the engineered strain was cultured with cheap industrial glycerol as a supplementary carbon source, and 14.3 and 46.27 g/L indigoidine could be achieved in a flask and a 4 L fermentor, respectively, reaching the highest level of microbial synthesis of indigoidine. This study will lay a foundation for the industrial application of Streptomyces cell factories to produce indigoidine.

Abstract
Natamycin is widely used in food, medical and health, agriculture, and animal husbandry. In this study, Streptomyces natalensis HW-2 was used as the research object, and a mutant DES-26 with stable genetic characters was selected by UV-ARTP-DES compound mutation. The natamycin yield was 1.64 g/L, 86.36% higher than original strain. Differential expression genes were analyzed by transcriptomics, and results showed that 295 and 860 genes were significantly differentially expressed at fermentation for 48 h and 72 h. GO and KEGG analysis showed that compound mutagenesis had a significant impact on glycolysis, pentose phosphate, TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism pathways, and several key enzyme genes in the pathways were up-regulated, and genes related to natamycin biosynthesis (pimB-pimI) and transcriptional regulator (pimR) were also up-regulated. qRT-PCR results confirmed that expression levels of these genes were consistent with transcriptional changes of RNA-Seq.

Abstract
Microbial secondary metabolites are intensively explored due to their demands in pharmaceutical, agricultural and food industries. Streptomyces are one of the largest sources of secondary metabolites having diverse applications. In particular, the abundance of secondary metabolites encoding biosynthetic gene clusters and presence of wobble position in Streptomyces strains make it potential candidate as a native or heterologous host for secondary metabolite production including several cryptic gene clusters expression. Here, we have discussed the developments in Streptomyces strains genome mining, its exploration as a suitable host and application of synthetic biology for refactoring genetic systems for developing chassis for enhanced as well as novel secondary metabolites with reduced genome and cleaned background.

Abstract
Streptomyces is one of the most versatile genera for biotechnological applications, widely employed as platform in the production of drugs. Although streptomycetes have a complex life cycle and metabolism that would need multidisciplinary approaches, review papers have generally reported only studies on single aspects like the isolation of new strains and metabolites, morphology investigations, and genetic or metabolic studies. Besides, even if streptomycetes are extensively used in industry, very few review papers have focused their attention on the technical aspects of biotechnological processes of drug production and bioconversion and on the key parameters that have to be set up. This mini-review extensively illustrates the most innovative developments and progresses in biotechnological production and bioconversion processes of antibiotics, immunosuppressant, anticancer, steroidal drugs, and anthelmintic agents by streptomycetes, focusing on the process development aspects, describing the different approaches and technologies used in order to improve the production yields. The influence of nutrients and oxygen on streptomycetes metabolism, new fed-batch fermentation strategies, innovative precursor supplementation approaches, and specific bioreactor design as well as biotechnological strategies coupled with metabolic engineering and genetic tools for strain improvement is described. The use of whole, free, and immobilized cells on unusual supports was also reported for bioconversion processes of drugs. The most outstanding thirty investigations published in the last 8 years are here reported while future trends and perspectives of biotechnological research in the field have been illustrated. KEY POINTS: • Updated Streptomyces biotechnological processes for drug production are reported. • Innovative approaches for Streptomyces-based biotransformation of drugs are reviewed. • News about fermentation and genome systems to enhance secondary metabolite production.

Abstract
Covering: 2010 to 2020 Over the last few decades, Streptomyces have been extensively investigated for their ability to produce diverse bioactive secondary metabolites. Recent advances in Streptomyces research have been largely supported by improvements in high-throughput technology 'omics'. From genomics, numerous secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters were predicted, increasing their genomic potential for novel bioactive compound discovery. Additional omics, including transcriptomics, translatomics, interactomics, proteomics and metabolomics, have been applied to obtain a system-level understanding spanning entire bioprocesses of Streptomyces, revealing highly interconnected and multi-layered regulatory networks for secondary metabolism. The comprehensive understanding derived from this systematic information accelerates the rational engineering of Streptomyces to enhance secondary metabolite production, integrated with the exploitation of the highly efficient 'Design-Build-Test-Learn' cycle in synthetic biology. In this review, we describe the current status of omics applications in Streptomyces research to better understand the organism and exploit its genetic potential for higher production of valuable secondary metabolites and novel secondary metabolite discovery.

The ROK-family regulator Rok7B7 directly controls carbon catabolite repression, antibiotic biosynthesis, and morphological development in Streptomyces avermitilis. Environ Microbiol 2020; 22:5090-5108. [PMID: 32452104 DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.15094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Revised: 05/10/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is a common phenomenon in bacteria that modulates expression of genes involved in uptake of alternative carbon sources. In the filamentous streptomycetes, which produce half of all known antibiotics, the precise mechanism of CCR is yet unknown. We report here that the ROK-family regulator Rok7B7 pleiotropically controls xylose and glucose uptake, CCR, development, as well as production of the macrolide antibiotics avermectin and oligomycin A in Streptomyces avermitilis. Rok7B7 directly repressed structural genes for avermectin biosynthesis, whereas it activated olmRI, the cluster-situated activator gene for oligomycin A biosynthesis. Rok7B7 also directly repressed the xylose uptake operon xylFGH, whose expression was induced by xylose and repressed by glucose. Both xylose and glucose served as Rok7B7 ligands. rok7B7 deletion led to enhancement and reduction of avermectin and oligomycin A production, respectively, relieved CCR of xylFGH, and increased co-uptake efficiency of xylose and glucose. A consensus Rok7B7-binding site, 5'-TTKAMKHSTTSAV-3', was identified within aveA1p, olmRIp, and xylFp, which allowed prediction of the Rok7B7 regulon and confirmation of 11 additional targets involved in development, secondary metabolism, glucose uptake, and primary metabolic processes. Our findings will facilitate methods for strain improvement, antibiotic overproduction, and co-uptake of xylose and glucose in Streptomyces species.

Abstract
Genetic engineering is a powerful method to improve the fermentation yield of bacterial
metabolites. Since many biosynthetic mechanisms of bacterial metabolites have been unveiled, genetic
engineering approaches have been applied to various issues of biosynthetic pathways, such as transcription,
translation, post-translational modification, enzymes, transporters, etc. In this article, natamycin,
avermectins, gentamicins, piperidamycins, and β-valienamine have been chosen as examples
to review recent progress in improving their production by genetic engineering approaches. In these
cases, not only yields of target products have been increased, but also yields of by-products have been
decreased, and new products have been created.

Abstract
Genome sequencing projects revealed massive cryptic gene clusters encoding the undiscovered secondary metabolites in Streptomyces. To investigate the metabolic products of silent gene clusters in Streptomyces chattanoogensis L10 (CGMCC 2644), we used site-directed mutagenesis to generate ten mutants with point mutations in the highly conserved region of rpsL (encoding the ribosomal protein S12) or rpoB (encoding the RNA polymerase β-subunit). Among them, L10/RpoB (H437Y) accumulated a dark pigment on a yeast extract-malt extract-glucose (YMG) plate. This was absent in the wild type. After further investigation, a novel angucycline antibiotic named anthrachamycin was isolated and determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) were performed to investigate the mechanism underlying the activation effect on the anthrachamycin biosynthetic gene cluster. This work indicated that the rpoB-specific missense H437Y mutation had activated anthrachamycin biosynthesis in S. chattanoogensis L10. This may be helpful in the investigation of the pleiotropic regulation system in Streptomyces.

J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol 2019; 46:725-737.

Abstract
Antibiotic production during secondary metabolism in Streptomyces spp. is elaborately controlled by multiple environmental signals and intracellular cascades. These include the two-component system PhoRP responding to phosphate starvation and a conserved signaling pathway mediated by the pleiotropic regulator AdpA. However, little information exists about how these two pathways work together for secondary metabolite production of Streptomyces. Herein, we report the dual regulation from the phosphate starvation-responsive regulator PhoP and AdpA on atrA promoter (atrAp) for the production of daptomycin, an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces roseosporus. We found that PhoP directly binds to atrAp, positively regulates atrA expression and thus daptomycin production. We also observed positive auto-regulation of phoRP expression during fermentation for daptomycin production. Moreover, partial overlap between PhoP- and AdpA-binding sites on atrAp was observed, which results in partial competitive binding between these two regulators. This partial overlapping and competition between PhoP and AdpA was further confirmed by mutations and binding assays. In summary, our findings have revealed dual regulation of PhoP and AdpA on the same promoter for antibiotic production in Streptomyces. This mechanism would be beneficial to further environment-responsive fermentation optimization for antibiotic production.

Abstract
The gram-positive filamentous bacterium Streptomyces is one of the largest resources for bioactive metabolites, particularly antibiotics. Antibiotic production and other metabolic processes are tightly regulated at the transcriptional level. Sigma (σ) factors are components of bacterial RNA polymerases that determine promoter specificity. In Streptomyces, σ factors also play essential roles in signal transduction and in regulatory networks, thereby assisting in their survival in complex environments. However, our current understanding of σ factors in Streptomyces is still limited. In this mini-review, we demonstrate the roles of Streptomyces σ factors, illustrating that these serve as linkers of different metabolic pathways. Further investigations on σ factors may improve our knowledge of Streptomyces physiology and benefit exploitation of Streptomyces resources.

Abstract
Alternative σ factors in bacteria redirect RNA polymerase to recognize alternative promoters, thereby facilitating coordinated gene expression necessary for adaptive responses. The gene sig8 (sav_741) in Streptomyces avermitilis encodes an alternative σ factor, σ8, highly homologous to σB in Streptomyces coelicolor. Studies reported here demonstrate that σ8 is an important regulator of both avermectin production and stress responses in S. avermitilis. σ8 inhibited avermectin production by indirectly repressing expression of cluster-situated activator gene aveR, and by directly initiating transcription of its downstream gene sav_742, which encodes a direct repressor of ave structural genes. σ8 had no effect on cell growth or morphological differentiation under normal growth conditions. Growth of a sig8-deletion mutant was less than that of wild-type strain on YMS plates following treatment with heat, H2O2, diamide, NaCl, or KCl. sig8 transcription was strongly induced by these environmental stresses, indicating response by σ8 itself. A series of σ8-dependent genes responsive to heat, oxidative and osmotic stress were identified by EMSAs, qRT-PCR and in vitro transcription experiments. These findings indicate that σ8 plays an important role in mediating protective responses to various stress conditions by activating transcription of its target genes. Six σ8-binding promoter sequences were determined and consensus binding sequence BGVNVH-N15-GSNNHH (B: C, T or G, V: A, C or G, S: C or G, H: A, C or T, N: any nucleotide) was identified, leading to prediction of the σ8 regulon. The list consists of 940 putative σ8 target genes, assignable to 17 functional groups, suggesting the wide range of cellular functions controlled by σ8 in S. avermitilis.

Abstract
Antibiotic-producing microorganisms have evolved several self-resistance mechanisms to prevent auto-toxicity. Overexpression of specific transporters to improve the efflux of toxic antibiotics has been found one of the most important and intrinsic resistance strategies used by many Streptomyces strains. In this work, two ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-encoding genes located in the natamycin biosynthetic gene cluster, scnA and scnB, were identified as the primary exporter genes for natamycin efflux in Streptomyces chattanoogensis L10. Two other transporters located outside the cluster, a major facilitator superfamily transporter Mfs1 and an ABC transporter NepI/II were found to play a complementary role in natamycin efflux. ScnA/ScnB and Mfs1 also participate in exporting the immediate precursor of natamycin, 4,5-de-epoxynatamycin, which is more toxic to S. chattanoogensis L10 than natamycin. As the major complementary exporter for natamycin efflux, Mfs1 is up-regulated in response to intracellular accumulation of natamycin and 4,5-de-epoxynatamycin, suggesting a key role in the stress response for self-resistance. This article discusses a novel antibiotic-related efflux and response system in Streptomyces, as well as a self-resistance mechanism in antibiotic-producing strains.

Abstract
About 2,500 papers dated 2014–2016 were recovered by searching the PubMed database for
Streptomyces, which are the richest known source of antibiotics. This review integrates around 100 of these papers in sections dealing with evolution, ecology, pathogenicity, growth and development, stress responses and secondary metabolism, gene expression, and technical advances. Genomic approaches have greatly accelerated progress. For example, it has been definitively shown that interspecies recombination of conserved genes has occurred during evolution, in addition to exchanges of some of the tens of thousands of non-conserved accessory genes. The closeness of the association of
Streptomyces with plants, fungi, and insects has become clear and is reflected in the importance of regulators of cellulose and chitin utilisation in overall
Streptomyces biology. Interestingly, endogenous cellulose-like glycans are also proving important in hyphal growth and in the clumping that affects industrial fermentations. Nucleotide secondary messengers, including cyclic di-GMP, have been shown to provide key input into developmental processes such as germination and reproductive growth, while late morphological changes during sporulation involve control by phosphorylation. The discovery that nitric oxide is produced endogenously puts a new face on speculative models in which regulatory Wbl proteins (peculiar to actinobacteria) respond to nitric oxide produced in stressful physiological transitions. Some dramatic insights have come from a new model system for
Streptomyces developmental biology,
Streptomyces venezuelae, including molecular evidence of very close interplay in each of two pairs of regulatory proteins. An extra dimension has been added to the many complexities of the regulation of secondary metabolism by findings of regulatory crosstalk within and between pathways, and even between species, mediated by end products. Among many outcomes from the application of chromosome immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis and other methods based on “next-generation sequencing” has been the finding that 21% of
Streptomyces mRNA species lack leader sequences and conventional ribosome binding sites. Further technical advances now emerging should lead to continued acceleration of knowledge, and more effective exploitation, of these astonishing and critically important organisms.

Abstract
Avermectins are useful anthelmintic antibiotics produced by Streptomyces avermitilis. We demonstrated that a novel AraC-family transcriptional regulator in this species, SAV742, is a global regulator that negatively controls avermectin biosynthesis and cell growth, but positively controls morphological differentiation. Deletion of its gene, sav_742, increased avermectin production and dry cell weight, but caused delayed formation of aerial hyphae and spores. SAV742 directly inhibited avermectin production by repressing transcription of ave structural genes, and also directly regulated its own gene (sav_742) and adjacent gene sig8 (sav_741). The precise SAV742-binding site on its own promoter region was determined by DNase I footprinting assay coupled with site-directed DNA mutagenesis, and 5-nt inverted repeats (GCCGA-n10/n12-TCGGC) were found to be essential for SAV742 binding. Similar 5-nt inverted repeats separated by 3, 10 or 15 nt were found in the promoter regions of target ave genes and sig8. The SAV742 regulon was predicted based on bioinformatic analysis. Twenty-six new SAV742 targets were identified and experimentally confirmed, including genes involved in primary metabolism, secondary metabolism and development. Our findings indicate that SAV742 plays crucial roles in not only avermectin biosynthesis but also coordination of complex physiological processes in S. avermitilis.

Abstract
Many high-value secondary metabolites are assembled by very large multifunctional polyketide synthases or non-ribosomal peptide synthetases encoded by giant genes, for instance, natamycin production in an industrial strain of Streptomyces gilvosporeus. In this study, a large operon reporter-based selection system has been developed using the selectable marker gene neo to report the expression both of the large polyketide synthase genes and of the entire gene cluster, thereby facilitating the selection of natamycin-overproducing mutants by iterative random mutagenesis breeding. In three successive rounds of mutagenesis and selection, the natamycin titer was increased by 110%, 230%, and 340%, respectively, and the expression of the whole biosynthetic gene cluster was correspondingly increased. An additional copy of the natamycin gene cluster was found in one overproducer. These findings support the large operon reporter-based selection system as a useful tool for the improvement of industrial strains utilized in the production of polyketides and non-ribosomal peptides.

Abstract
Covering up to end 2015Microbial fermentation provides an attractive alternative to chemical synthesis for the production of structurally complex natural products. In most cases, however, production titers are low and need to be improved for compound characterization and/or commercial production. Owing to advances in functional genomics and genetic engineering technologies, microbial hosts can be engineered to overproduce a desired natural product, greatly accelerating the traditionally time-consuming strain improvement process. This review covers recent developments and challenges in the engineering of native and heterologous microbial hosts for the production of bacterial natural products, focusing on the genetic tools and strategies for strain improvement. Special emphasis is placed on bioactive secondary metabolites from actinomycetes. The considerations for the choice of host systems will also be discussed in this review.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2015; 100:61-78. [PMID: 26512010 PMCID: PMC4700089 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-015-7077-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2015] [Revised: 10/06/2015] [Accepted: 10/11/2015] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Pimaricin (natamycin) is a small polyene macrolide antibiotic used worldwide. This efficient antimycotic and antiprotozoal agent, produced by several soil bacterial species of the genus Streptomyces, has found application in human therapy, in the food and beverage industries and as pesticide. It displays a broad spectrum of activity, targeting ergosterol but bearing a particular mode of action different to other polyene macrolides. The biosynthesis of this only antifungal agent with a GRAS status has been thoroughly studied, which has permitted the manipulation of producers to engineer the biosynthetic gene clusters in order to generate several analogues. Regulation of its production has been largely unveiled, constituting a model for other polyenes and setting the leads for optimizing the production of these valuable compounds. This review describes and discusses the molecular genetics, uses, mode of action, analogue generation, regulation and strategies for increasing pimaricin production yields.
