Abstract
Chemical compounds that affect microbial interactions have attracted wide interest. In this study, Streptomyces griseus showed enhanced growth when cocultured with the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. An improvement in S. griseus growth was observed before contact with P. oryzae, and no growth-promoting effect was observed when the growth medium between the two microorganisms was separated. These results suggested that the chemicals produced by P. oryzae diffused through the medium and were not volatile. A PDA plate supplemented with phenol red showed that the pH of the area surrounding P. oryzae increased. The area with increased pH promoted S. griseus growth, suggesting that the alkaline compounds produced by P. oryzae were involved in this growth stimulation. In contrast, coculture with the soilborne plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum and entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps tenuipes did not promote S. griseus growth. Furthermore, DL-α-Difluoromethylornithine, a polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor, prevented the increase in pH and growth promotion of S. griseus by P. oryzae. These results indicated that P. oryzae increased pH by producing a polyamine.

Abstract
Streptomyces, a multifaceted genus of soil-dwelling bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinomycetota, features intricate phage-host interactions shaped by its complex life cycle and the synthesis of a diverse array of specialized metabolites. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of four novel Streptomyces phages infecting a variety of different host species. While phage Kamino, isolated on Streptomyces kasugaensis, is predicted to be temperate and encodes a serine integrase in its genome, phages Geonosis (isolated on Streptomyces griseus) and Abafar and Scarif, isolated on Streptomyces albidoflavus, are virulent phages. Phages Kamino and Geonosis were shown to amplify well in liquid culture leading to a pronounced culture collapse already at low titers. Determination of the host range by testing >40 different Streptomyces species identified phages Kamino, Abafar, and Scarif as broad host-range phages. Overall, the phages described in this study expand the publicly available portfolio of phages infecting Streptomyces and will be instrumental in advancing the mechanistic understanding of the intricate antiviral strategies employed by these multicellular bacteria.IMPORTANCEThe actinobacterial genus Streptomyces is characterized by multicellular, filamentous growth and the synthesis of a diverse range of bioactive molecules. These characteristics also play a role in shaping their interactions with the most abundant predator in the environment, bacteriophages-viruses infecting bacteria. In this study, we characterize four new phages infecting Streptomyces. Out of those, three phages feature a broad host range infecting up to 15 different species. The isolated phages were characterized with respect to plaque and virion morphology, host range, and amplification in liquid culture. In summary, the phages reported in this study contribute to the broader collection of publicly available phages infecting Streptomyces, playing a crucial role in advancing our mechanistic understanding of phage-host interactions of these multicellular bacteria.

Abstract
Ibuprofen, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, contaminates agricultural products and potentially threatens human health due to its frequent detection and poor biodegradability. Microbial metabolism dominates the elimination of residual ibuprofen in the environment. In mineral salt medium at pH 6 with 5 mM glucose, Streptomyces sp. D218 transformed ibuprofen concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.40 mM in 24 h. The optimal temperature, pH, and initial OD600 nm for ibuprofen transformation by strain D218 were 25-37 °C, 5.0-6.0, and 1.0-1.5, respectively. Strain D218 could simultaneously transform ibuprofen into the intermediates 2-hydroxyibuprofen and ibuprofen amide (IBUA). The two intermediates were further metabolized to 2-hydroxyibuprofen amide (2HIBUA), thus relieving the growth inhibition of ibuprofen in Scenedesmus obliquus. This is the first complete pathway reported for the detoxification of ibuprofen transformation by a Gram-positive strain. These findings further our understanding of the microbial catabolism of the IBU.

Abstract
Background Key features of the actinobacterial genus Streptomyces are multicellular, filamentous growth, and production of a broad portfolio of bioactive molecules. These characteristics appear to play an important role in phage-host interactions and are modulated by phages during infection. To accelerate research of such interactions and the investigation of novel immune systems in multicellular bacteria, phage isolation, sequencing, and characterization are needed. This is a prerequisite for establishing systematic collections that appropriately cover phage diversity for comparative analyses. Material & Methods As part of a public outreach program within the priority program SPP 2330, involving local schools, we describe the isolation and characterization of five novel Streptomyces siphoviruses infecting S. griseus, S. venezuelae, and S. olivaceus. Results All isolates are virulent members of two existing genera and, additionally, establish a new genus in the Stanwilliamsviridae family. In addition to an extensive set of tRNAs and proteins involved in phage replication, about 80% of phage genes encode hypothetical proteins, underlining the yet underexplored phage diversity and genomic dark matter still found in bacteriophages infecting actinobacteria. Conclusions Taken together, phages Ankus, Byblos, DekoNeimoidia, Mandalore, and Naboo expand the phage diversity and contribute to ongoing research in the field of Streptomyces phage-host interactions.

Abstract
Streptomyces is a drought-tolerant bacterial genus in soils, which forms close associations with plants to provide host resilience to drought stress. Here we synthesize the emerging research that illuminates the multifaceted interactions of Streptomyces spp. in both plant and soil environments. It also explores the potential co-evolutionary relationship between plants and Streptomyces spp. to forge mutualistic relationships, providing drought tolerance to plants. We propose that further advancement in fundamental knowledge of eco-evolutionary interactions between plants and Streptomyces spp. is crucial and holds substantial promise for developing effective strategies to combat drought stress, ensuring sustainable agriculture and environmental sustainability in the face of climate change.

Abstract
The marine tunicate-derived Streptomyces albidoflavus RKJM0023 was cultured in the presence of a rhamnolipid mixture in an effort to elicit the production of silent natural products. MS/MS-based molecular networking analysis enhanced with nonparametric statistics highlighted the upregulation of a molecular cluster (Kruskal-Wallis p = 1.6 e-6 for 1) in which no MS/MS features had library matches. Targeted isolation of these features resulted in the discovery of nine new N-acylated lipopeptides, albubactins A-H (1-8) each containing a unique glutamine tripeptide and a C-terminal ethyl ester moiety. Three related albubactin acids A-C (9-11) lacking the ethyl ester were also identified. NMR spectroscopy and UPLC-HR-ESI-MS/MS demonstrated that the albubactins were obtained as mixtures that shared a common m/z and differed only in their acylated terminal groups. Due to the complex spectroscopic elucidation with many overlapping shifts, a total synthesis of albubactin A (1) was completed and used to determine the absolute configuration of the new albubactins.

Abstract
Streptomyces are renowned for their prolific production of specialized metabolites with applications in medicine and agriculture. These multicellular bacteria present a sophisticated developmental cycle and play a key role in soil ecology. Little is known about the impact of Streptomyces phage on bacterial physiology. In this study, we investigated the conditions governing the expression and production of "Samy", a prophage found in Streptomyces ambofaciens ATCC 23877. This siphoprophage is produced simultaneously with the activation of other mobile genetic elements. Remarkably, the presence and production of Samy increases bacterial dispersal under in vitro stress conditions. Altogether, this study unveiled a new property of a bacteriophage infection in the context of multicellular aggregate dynamics.

Abstract
Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the most extensively used phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and is considered to be an emerging, globally concerning pollutant. The genus Streptomyces holds promise as a degrader of various organic pollutants, but PAE biodegradation mechanisms by Streptomyces species remain unsolved. In this study, a novel PAE-degrading Streptomyces sp. FZ201 isolated from natural habitats efficiently degraded various PAEs. FZ201 had strong resilience against DBP and exhibited immediate degradation, with kinetics adhering to a first-order model. The comprehensive biodegradation of DBP involves de-esterification, β-oxidation, trans-esterification, and aromatic ring cleavage. FZ201 contains numerous catabolic genes that potentially facilitate PAE biodegradation. The DBP metabolic pathway was reconstructed by genome annotation and intermediate identification. Streptomyces species have an open pangenome with substantial genome expansion events during the evolutionary process, enabling extensive genetic diversity and highly plastic genomes within the Streptomyces genus. FZ201 had a diverse array of highly expressed genes associated with the degradation of PAEs, potentially contributing significantly to its adaptive advantage and efficiency of PAE degradation. Thus, FZ201 is a promising candidate for remediating highly PAE-contaminated environments. These findings enhance our preliminary understanding of the molecular mechanisms employed by Streptomyces for the removal of PAEs.

Abstract
Marine-derived Streptomyces have long been recognized as a source of novel, pharmaceutically relevant natural products. Among these bacteria, the MAR4 clade within the genus Streptomyces has been identified as metabolically rich, yielding over 93 different compounds to date. MAR4 strains are particularly noteworthy for the production of halogenated hybrid isoprenoid natural products, a relatively rare class of bacterial metabolites that possess a wide range of biological activities. MAR4 genomes are enriched in vanadium haloperoxidase and prenyltransferase genes, thus accounting for the production of these compounds. Functional characterization of the enzymes encoded in MAR4 genomes has advanced our understanding of halogenated, hybrid isoprenoid biosynthesis. Despite the exceptional biosynthetic capabilities of MAR4 bacteria, the large body of research they have stimulated has yet to be compiled. Here we review 35 years of natural product research on MAR4 strains and update the molecular diversity of this unique group of bacteria.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Here, we provide new insights into the possible fate of cyclic lipopeptides as prominent specialized metabolites from beneficial bacilli and pseudomonads once released in the soil. Our data illustrate how the B. velezensis lipopeptidome may be enzymatically remodeled by Streptomyces as important members of the soil bacterial community. The enzymatic arsenal of S. venezuelae enables an unsuspected extensive degradation of these compounds, allowing the bacterium to feed on these exogenous products via a mechanism going beyond linearization, which was previously reported as a detoxification strategy. As soils are carbon-rich and nitrogen-poor environments, we propose a new role for cyclic lipopeptides in interspecies interactions, which is to fuel the nitrogen metabolism of a part of the rhizosphere microbial community. Streptomyces and other actinomycetes, producing numerous peptidases and displaying several traits of beneficial bacteria, should be at the front line to directly benefit from these metabolites as "public goods" for microbial cooperation.

Abstract
Association of the antibiotic activity of the soil Streptomyces isolates to their genetic profiles analyzed through RAPD-PCR fingerprints prompted us here in this study to use the most common bands as specific markers to identify homologous proteins within these isolates by cloning, sequencing, and characterizing these markers. Six out of twelve DNA bands ranged between 600 and 1350 bp previously obtained by RAPD-PCR analysis were purified out of the RAPD gels, and then cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector system. Success of the cloning process was confirmed by digesting purified plasmids with EcoRI. The clones namely No. 54, 55, 20, 56, 57, and 58 were sequenced using the DNA BigDye Terminator Sequencing System utilizing the M13 primer. Results indicated that the size of the inserted sequences is 599, 566, 522, 870, 857, and 254 bp, in clones No. 54. 55, 20, 56, 57, and 58, respectively. Homologous proteins of the six cloned sequences generated by DNA blast software indicated that the highest score of protein homology was scored for clone No. 54 with 87 % homology to putative secreted pectate lyase [Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)]. The other clones showed less homology with 77 % homology for the clones No. 55 and 56, 73 % homology for the clone No. 20, and 55 % homology for the clones No. 57 and 58. The association of homologous proteins to the reported RAPD pattern is confirmed here for the first time, and the resulting DNA cloned fragments deserve further molecular analysis.

Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces have a plethora of transcriptional regulators, among which the xenobiotic response element (XRE) plays an important role. In this organism, XRE regulators are often followed downstream by small proteins of unknown function containing a DUF397 domain. It has been proposed that XRE/DUF397 pairs constitute type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. However, previous work carried out by our group has shown that one of these systems is a strong activator of antibiotic production in S. coelicolor and other Streptomyces species. In this work, we have studied the overexpression of fourteen XRE/DUF397 pairs present in the S. coelicolor genome and found that none behave as a type II TA system. Instead, they act as pleiotropic regulators affecting, in a dependent manner, antibiotic production and morphological differentiation on different culture media. After deleting, individually, six XRE/DUF397 pairs (those systems producing more notable phenotypic changes when overexpressed: SCO2246/45, SCO2253/52, SCO4176/77, SCO4678/79, SCO6236/35, and SCO7615/16), the pair SCO7615/16 was identified as producing the most dramatic differences as compared to the wild-type strain. The SCO7615/16 mutant had a different phenotype on each of the media tested (R2YE, LB, NMMP, YEPD, and MSA). In particular, on R2YE and YEPD media, a bald phenotype was observed even after 7 days, with little or no actinorhodin (ACT) production. Lower ACT production was also observed on LB medium, but the bacteria were able to produce aerial mycelium. On NMMP medium, the mutant produced a larger amount of ACT as compared with the wild-type strain.
