Abstract
Bacterial endophytes dwelling in medicinal plants represent an as yet underexplored source of bioactive natural products with the potential to be developed into drugs against various human diseases. For the first time, several Streptomyces spp. were isolated from the rare and endangered traditional medicinal plant Leontopodium nivale ssp. alpinum, also known as Edelweiss. In the search for novel natural products, nine endophytic Streptomyces spp. from Edelweiss were investigated via genome sequencing and analysis, followed by fermentation in different media and investigation of secondary metabolomes. A total of 214 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), of which 35 are presumably unique, were identified by the bioinformatics tool antiSMASH in the genomes of these isolates. LC-MS analyses of the secondary metabolomes of these isolates revealed their potential to produce both known and presumably novel secondary metabolites, whereby most of the identified molecules could be linked to their cognate BGCs. This work sets the stage for further investigation of endophytic streptomycetes from Edelweiss aimed at the discovery and characterization of novel bioactive natural products.

Abstract
Two novel actinobacteria, designated as LP05-1T and LP11T, were isolated from the lichen Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl. collected in Bangkok, Thailand. Genotypic and phenotypic analyses revealed that both strains represented members of the genus Streptomyces. The 16S rRNA gene of LP05-1T showed the highest similarity to the genome of Streptomyces gelaticus (98.41 %), while the 16S rRNA gene of LP11T was most similar to that of Streptomyces cinerochromogenes (98.93 %). The major menaquinones in LP05-1T were MK-9(H8), MK-9(H6), MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H2), and in LP11T, they were MK-9(H8) and MK-9(H6). Both strains exhibited the major fatty acids iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0, with LP05-1T also possessing iso-C17 : 0. The polar lipids of LP05-1T included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and an unidentified lipid, while those of LP11T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified glycolipid. The digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values indicated that both strains are distinct from each other with values below 70 and 95 %, respectively. dDDH, ANI by blast (ANIb) and ANI by MUMmer (ANIm) values between LP05-1T and its closely related type strains were 26.07-26.80 %, 81.24-82.01 % and 86.82-86.96 %, respectively, while those for LP11T and its closely related type strains were 30.70-31.70 %, 84.09-85.31 % and 88.02-88.39 %, respectively. The results of the taxonomic investigation, including dDDH and ANI values, indicate that LP05-1T and LP11T are novel type strains of two novel species within the genus Streptomyces. The names proposed are Streptomyces pyxinae sp. nov. for strain LP05-1T (=TBRC 15494T, =NBRC 115434T) and Streptomyces pyxinicus sp. nov. for strain LP11T (=TBRC 15493T, =NBRC 115421T).

Wen Y, Zhang B, Zhang G, Wu M, Chen X, Chen T, Liu G, Zhang W. Comparative genomics reveals environmental adaptability and antimicrobial activity of a novel Streptomyces isolated from soil under black Gobi rocks. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2023; 116:1407-1419. [PMID: 37847451 DOI: 10.1007/s10482-023-01882-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
A novel Streptomyces strain, designated 3_2T, was isolated from soil under the black Gobi rock sample of Northwest China. The taxonomic position of this strain was revealed by a polyphasic approach. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that 3_2T was closely related to the members of the genus Streptomyces, with the highest similarity to Streptomyces rimosus subsp. rimosus CGMCC 4.1438 (99.17%), Streptomyces sioyaensis DSM 40032 (98.97%). Strain 3_2T can grow in media up to 13% NaCl. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain 3_2T was 69.9%. We obtained the genomes of 22 Streptomyces strains similar to strain 3_2T, compared the average nucleotide similarity, dDDH and average amino acid identity, and found that the genomic similarity of the new isolate 3_2T to all strains was below the threshold for interspecies classification. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain 3_2T possessed MK-9 (H6) and MK-9 (H8) as the major menaquinones. The cell wall contained LL-diaminopimelic acid (LL-DAP) and the whole-cell sugars were ribose and glucose. The major fatty acid methyl esters were iso-C16:0 (23.6%) and anteiso-C15:0 (10.4%). The fermentation products of strain 3_2T were inhibitory to Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus thuringiensi. The genome of 3_2T was further predicted using anti-smash and the strain was found to encode the production of 41 secondary metabolites, and these gene clusters may be key to the good inhibitory activity exhibited by the strain. Genomic analysis revealed that strain 3_2T can encode genes that produce a variety of genes in response to environmental stresses, including cold shock, detoxification, heat shock, osmotic stress, oxidative stress, and these genes may play a key role in the harsh environment in which the strain can survive. Therefore, this strain represents a novel Streptomyces species, for which the name Streptomyces halobius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3_2T (= JCM 34935T = GDMCC 4.217T).

Marine Actinobacteria a New Source of Antibacterial Metabolites to Treat Acne Vulgaris Disease—A Systematic Literature Review. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11070965. [PMID: 35884220 PMCID: PMC9311749 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11070965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease that remains under-explored; up to date it is known that the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes is involved in the disease occurrence, also associated with a microbial dysbiosis. Antibiotics have become a mainstay treatment generating the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, there are some reported side effects of alternative treatments, which indicate the need to investigate a different therapeutic approach. Natural products continue to be an excellent option, especially those extracted from actinobacteria, which represent a prominent source of metabolites with a wide range of biological activities, particularly the marine actinobacteria, which have been less studied than their terrestrial counterparts. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate the potential anti-infective activity of metabolites isolated from marine actinobacteria strains against bacteria related to the development of acne vulgaris disease. It was found that there is a variety of compounds with anti-infective activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, bacteria closely related to acne vulgaris development; nevertheless, there is no report of a compound with antibacterial activity or quorum-sensing inhibition toward C. acnes, which is a surprising result. Since two of the most widely used antibiotics for the treatment of acne targeting C. acnes were obtained from actinobacteria of the genus Streptomyces, this demonstrates a great opportunity to pursue further studies in this field, considering the potential of marine actinobacteria to produce new anti-infective compounds.
