Abstract
Uropygial gland secretions of birds consist of host and bacteria derived compounds and play a major sanitary and feather-protective role. Here we report on our microbiome studies of the New Guinean toxic bird Pachycephala schlegelii and the isolation of a member of the Amycolatopsis genus from the uropygial gland secretions. Bioactivity studies in combination with co-cultures, MALDI imaging and HR-MS/MS-based network analyses unveil the basis of its activity against keratinolytic bacteria and fungal skin pathogens. We trace the protective antimicrobial activity of Amycolatopsis sp. PS_44_ISF1 to the production of rifamycin congeners, ciromicin A and of two yet unreported compound families. We perform NMR and HR-MS/MS studies to determine the relative structures of six members belonging to a yet unreported lipopeptide family of pachycephalamides and of one representative of the demiguisins, a new hexapeptide family. We then use a combination of phylogenomic, transcriptomic and knock-out studies to identify the underlying biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for the production of pachycephalamides and demiguisins. Our metabolomics data allow us to map molecular ion features of the identified metabolites in extracts of P. schlegelii feathers, verifying their presence in the ecological setting where they exert their presumed active role for hosts. Our study shows that members of the Actinomycetota may play a role in avian feather protection.

Abstract
Microbial NAT enzymes, which employ acyl-CoA to acylate aromatic amines and hydrazines, have been well-studied for their role in xenobiotic metabolism. Some homologues have also been linked to secondary metabolism, but this function of NAT enzymes is not as well-known. For this comparative study, we surveyed sequenced microbial genomes to update the list of formally annotated NAT genes, adding over 4000 new sequences (mainly bacterial, but also archaeal, fungal and protist) and portraying a broad but not universal distribution of NATs in the microbiocosmos. Localization of NAT sequences within microbial gene clusters was not a rare finding, and this association was evident across all main types of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) implicated in secondary metabolism. Interrogation of the MIBiG database for experimentally characterized clusters with NAT genes further supports that secondary metabolism must be a major function for microbial NAT enzymes and should not be overlooked by researchers in the field. We also show that NAT sequences can be associated with bacterial plasmids potentially involved in horizontal gene transfer. Combined, our computational predictions and MIBiG literature findings reveal the extraordinary functional diversification of microbial NAT genes, prompting further research into their role in predicted BGCs with as yet uncharacterized function.

Abstract
Knowledge about the impact of different dissolved oxygen (DO) on the composition and function of gut bacteria of aquatic insects is largely unknown. Herein, we constructed freshwater environments with different DOs (hypoxia: 2.50 ± 0.50, normoxia: 7.00 ± 0.50, and hyperoxia: 13.00 ± 0.50 mg/L) where aquatic firefly Aquatica leii larvae lived for three months. Their gut flora was analyzed using the combination of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metagenomics. The results showed no difference in alpha diversity of the gut flora between A. leii inhabiting various DOs. However, the relative abundance of several bacterial lineages presented significant changes, such as Pseudomonas. In addition, bacterial genes with an altered relative abundance in response to various DOs were primarily related to metabolism. The alteration of these functions correlated with the DO change. This is the first to uncover structure of gut flora under various DOs in aquatic insect larvae.

Abstract
A nitrogen-fixing actinobacterium strain (Cc1.17T) isolated from a root nodule of Colletia cruciata was subjected to polyphasic taxonomic studies. The strain was characterized by the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid in its peptidoglycan, galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose, ribose and xylose as cell-wall sugars, phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, glycophospholipids, phosphatidylglycerol, glycophospholipid and uncharacterized lipids as its polar lipids, and C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1 ω9 and C18 : 1 ω9 as major fatty acids (>10 %). Strain Cc1.17T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 97.4-99.8 % to validly named Frankia species. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences placed strain Cc1.17T in a new lineage within the genus Frankia. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain Cc1.17T and its closest phylogenomic neighbours were well below the thresholds recommended for prokaryotic species delineation. Therefore, strain Cc1.17T (=DSM 43829T=CECT 9313T) merits recognition as the type strain of a new species for which the name Frankia colletiae sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
Covering: 2016 to 2022RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the central enzyme in bacterial gene expression representing an attractive and validated target for antibiotics. Two well-known and clinically approved classes of natural product RNAP inhibitors are the rifamycins and the fidaxomycins. Rifampicin (Rif), a semi-synthetic derivative of rifamycin, plays a crucial role as a first line antibiotic in the treatment of tuberculosis and a broad range of bacterial infections. However, more and more pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis develop resistance, not only against Rif and other RNAP inhibitors. To overcome this problem, novel RNAP inhibitors exhibiting different target sites are urgently needed. This review includes recent developments published between 2016 and today. Particular focus is placed on novel findings concerning already known bacterial RNAP inhibitors, the characterization and development of new compounds isolated from bacteria and fungi, and providing brief insights into promising new synthetic compounds.

Abstract
Covering: 2011 to 2021Structural division of natural naphthalenoid ansamycins, regarding the type of the core and length of the ansa chain, and their biosynthetic pathways in microorganisms are discussed. The great biosynthetic plasticity of natural naphthalenoid ansamycins is reflected in their structural variety due to the alterations within ansa bridge or naphthalenoid core portions. A comparison between the biological potency of natural and semisynthetic naphthalenoid ansamycins was performed and discussed in relation to the molecular targets in cells. The antibacterial potency of naphthalenoid ansamycins seems to be dependent on the ansa chain length and conformational flexibility - the higher flexibility of the ansa chain the better biological outcome is noted.

Abstract
Marine actinomycetes are prolific chemical sources of complex and novel natural products, providing an excellent chance for new drug discovery. The chemical investigation of the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. ITBB-ZKa6, from Zhaoshu island, Hainan, led to the discovery of two unique antimycin-type depsipeptides, zhaoshumycins A (1) and B (2), along with the isolation of the four known neoantimycins A (3), F (4), D (5), and E (6). The structures of the new compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of the analysis of diverse spectroscopic data and biogenetic consideration. Zhaoshumycins A (1) and B (2) represent a new class of depsipeptides, featuring two neoantimycin monomers (only neoantimycin D or neoantimycins D and E) linked to a 1,4-disubstituted benzene ring via an imino group. Initial toxicity tests of 1-6 in MCF7 human breast cancer cells revealed that compounds 5 and 6 possess weak cytotoxic activity. Further structure-activity relationship analysis suggested the importance of the NH2 group at C-34 in 5 and 6 for cytotoxicity in MCF7 cells.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria in recent decades leads us to an urgent need for the development of new antibacterial agents. The species of the genus Amycolatopsis are known as producers of secondary metabolites that are used in medicine and agriculture. The complete genome sequences of the Amycolatopsis demonstrate a wide variety of biosynthetic gene clusters, which highlights the potential ability of actinomycetes of this genus to produce new antibiotics. In this review, we summarize information about antibiotics produced by Amycolatopsis species. This knowledge demonstrates the prospects for further study of this genus as an enormous source of antibiotics.

This class of polycyclic aromatic polyketides are exclusively associated with actinomycetes and can undergo many modifications such as oxidation, ring cleavage, glycosylation and dimerization. Here we report the discovery of a new ether-linked benz[a]anthraquinone heterodimer, named mycolatone (1), from a grasshopper-derived actinomycete, Amycolatopsis sp. HCa1. The structure of mycolatone (1) was determined by comprehensive two-dimensional NMR analysis, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and biogenetic consideration. This new heterodimeric molecule is structurally derived from the dimerization of two tetracyclic angucylines, 2-hydroxy-5-O-methyltetragomycin and PD116779, through an ether bond between C-8 and C-8'. This new structural feature enrich the structural diversity of angucylines. Additionally, the surface tension activity and cytotoxic activities of 1 against human cervical cancer cell line (Hela), human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (SGC-7901) and human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (SPC-A-1) were evaluated.

Abstract
Ansaseomycins are ansamycin-type natural products produced through expression of the asm gene cluster in a heterologous host. A rare berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) like oxidase, AsmF, is encoded in the asm gene cluster. Deletion of asmF led to the accumulation of a series of structurally diverse compounds, all of which lacked the 23-hydroxyl group in naphthalenic motif. Our work demonstrated that AsmF dictated the formation of the naphthalenic hydroxyl group in ansaseomycin biosynthesis.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are regarded as important sources for the generation of various bioactive secondary metabolites with rich chemical and bioactive diversities. Amycolatopsis falls under the rare actinomycete genus with the potential to produce antibiotics. In this review, all literatures were searched in the Web of Science, Google Scholar and PubMed up to March 2021. The keywords used in the search strategy were “Amycolatopsis”, “secondary metabolite”, “new or novel compound”, “bioactivity”, “biosynthetic pathway” and “derivatives”. The objective in this review is to summarize the chemical structures and biological activities of secondary metabolites from the genus Amycolatopsis. A total of 159 compounds derived from 8 known and 18 unidentified species are summarized in this paper. These secondary metabolites are mainly categorized into polyphenols, linear polyketides, macrolides, macrolactams, thiazolyl peptides, cyclic peptides, glycopeptides, amide and amino derivatives, glycoside derivatives, enediyne derivatives and sesquiterpenes. Meanwhile, they mainly showed unique antimicrobial, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-hyperglycemic, and enzyme inhibition activities. In addition, the biosynthetic pathways of several potent bioactive compounds and derivatives are included and the prospect of the chemical substances obtained from Amycolatopsis is also discussed to provide ideas for their implementation in the field of therapeutics and drug discovery.

Abstract
The rare actinobacterium Amycolatopsis sp. strain 195334CR was found to produce previously undescribed cyclic hexapeptides, which we named amycolatomycin A and B (1 and 2). Their planar structures were determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry as well as extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, while the absolute stereochemistry of its amino acids were determined by Marfey's method. Moreover, 1 and 2 differ by the incorporation of l-Ile and l-allo-Ile, respectively, whose FDVA (Nα-(2,4-Dinitro-5-fluorphenyl)-L-valinamide) derivatives were separated on a C4 column. Their hallmark in common is a unique 2,6-dichloro-tryptophan amino acid unit. Amycolatomycin A (1) exhibited weak activity against Bacillus subtilis DSM 10 (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 33.4 µg/mL).

Abstract
Eleven metabolites, six echinosporins (1-6), four dibenzoyls (7-10), and an aromatic compound (11), were isolated from the fermentation broth of lichen-associated Amycolatopsis hippodromi. The structures of the new compounds (1-5, 8-11) were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis including data from experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Amycolasporins A-C (1-3) demonstrated antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli with MIC values of 25 or 100 μg/mL. Amycolasporin C (3) and the known dibenzoyl (7) attenuated the production of NO due to the suppression of the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Actinobacteria are well recognized for their production of structurally diverse bioactive secondary metabolites, but the rare actinobacterial genera have been underexploited for such potential. To search for new sources of active compounds, an experiment combining genomic analysis and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) screening was designed to isolate and characterize actinobacterial strains from a mangrove environment in Macau. Fourteen actinobacterial strains were isolated from the collected samples. Partial 16S sequences indicated that they were from six genera, including Brevibacterium, Curtobacterium, Kineococcus, Micromonospora, Mycobacterium, and Streptomyces. The isolate sp.01 showing 99.28% sequence similarity with a reference rare actinobacterial species Micromonospora aurantiaca ATCC 27029T was selected for whole genome sequencing. Organization of its gene clusters for secondary metabolite biosynthesis revealed 21 clusters encoded to antibiotic production, which is higher than other Micromonospora species. Of the genome-predicted antibiotics, kanamycin was found through guided MS/MS analysis producible by the M. aurantiaca strain for the first time. The present study highlighted that genomic analysis combined with MS/MS screening is a promising method to discover potential of antibiotic production from rare actinobacteria.

Phylogenomic Classification and Biosynthetic Potential of the Fossil Fuel-Biodesulfurizing Rhodococcus Strain IGTS8. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:1417.

Abstract
Rhodococcus strain IGTS8 is the most extensively studied model bacterium for biodesulfurization of fossil fuels via the non–destructive sulfur–specific 4S pathway. This strain was initially assigned to Rhodococcus rhodochrous and later to Rhodococcus erythropolis thus making its taxonomic status debatable and reflecting the limited resolution of methods available at the time. In this study, phylogenomic analyses of the whole genome sequences of strain IGTS8 and closely related rhodococci showed that R. erythropolis and Rhodococcus qingshengii are very closely related species, that Rhodococcus strain IGTS8 is a R. qingshengii strain and that several strains identified as R. erythropolis should be re-classified as R. qingshengii. The genomes of strains assigned to these species contain potentially novel biosynthetic gene clusters showing that members of these taxa should be given greater importance in the search for new antimicrobials and other industrially important biomolecules. The plasmid-borne dsz operon encoding fossil fuel desulfurization enzymes was present in R. qingshengii IGTS8 and R. erythropolis XP suggesting that it might be transferable between members of these species.

Abstract
The phylogenetic diversity of fungi isolated from the Odontotermes formosanus was investigated by dilution-plate method, combined with morphological characteristics and 5.8S rDNA sequencing. Thirty-nine fungi were isolated and purified from O. formosanus, which were belonging to two phyla and four classes (Sordariomycetes, Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Agaricomycetes). Furthermore, nine bacterial 16S rRNA sequences were obtained from total fungal genomic DNA. All bacterial symbionts were segmented into four genera: Bacillus, Methylobacterium, Paenibacillus, and Trabulsiella. The antimicrobial activities of all endophytic fungi extracts were tested by using the filter paper method against Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), and Canidia albicans (ATCC 10231). The results exhibited that 25 extracts (64%) exhibited antibacterial activity against at least one of the tested bacterial strains. Furthermore, the secondary metabolites 1 [5-hydroxyramulosin (1a):biatriosporin M (1b) = 2:1] from the Pleosporales sp. BYCDW4 exhibited potent antimicrobial activities against E. coli, C. albicans, B. subtilis, and S. aureus with the inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of 13.67, 14.33, 12.17, and 11.33 mm, respectively, which were comparable with those of the positive control. 1-(2,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxybutan-1-one (2) from the Microdiplodia sp. BYCDW8 showed medium inhibitory activities against B. subtilis and S. aureus, with the IZD range of 8.32–9.13 mm. In conclusion, the study showed the diversity of insect symbionts could be expected to develop the resource of new species and antibiotics.

Abstract
To our knowledge, most studies demonstrating the role of manipulating maternal nutrition on hindgut (i.e., large intestine) microbiota in the offspring have been performed in non-ruminants. Whether this phenomenon exists in cattle is largely unknown. Therefore, the objectives of the current study were to evaluate the impact of maternal post-ruminal supply of methionine during late-pregnancy in dairy cows on fecal microbiota and metabolome in neonatal calves, and their association with body development and growth performance during the preweaning period. To achieve this, heifer calves, i.e., neonatal female offspring, born to Holstein cows receiving either a control (CON) diet (n = 13) or CON plus rumen-protected methionine (MET; Evonik Nutrition & Care GmbH) during the last 28 days of pregnancy were used. Fecal samples from heifers were collected from birth until 6 weeks of age, i.e., the preweaning period. Fecal microbiota was analyzed with QIIME 2 whereas fecal metabolites were measured using an untargeted LC-MS approach. At birth, MET heifers had greater (P ≤ 0.05) BW, HH, and WH. During the preweaning period, no differences between groups were detected for starter intake (P = 0.77). However, MET heifers maintained greater (P ≤ 0.05) BW, HH and tended (P = 0.06) to have greater WH and average daily gain (ADG) (P = 0.10). Fecal microbiota and metabolome profiles through 42 days of age in MET heifers indicated greater capacity for hindgut production of endogenous antibiotics and enhanced hindgut functionality and health. Enhancing maternal post-ruminal supply of methionine during late-gestation in dairy cows has a positive effect on hindgut functionality and health in their offspring through alterations in the fecal microbiota and metabolome without affecting feed intake. Those alterations could limit pathogen colonization of the hindgut while providing essential nutrients to the neonate. Together, such responses contribute to the ability of young calves to achieve better rates of nutrient utilization for growth.

Abstract
A number of strategies have been developed to mine novel natural products based on biosynthetic gene clusters and there have been dozens of successful cases facilitated by the development of genomic sequencing. During our study on biosynthesis of the antitumor polyketide kosinostatin (KST), we found that the genome of Micromonospora sp. strain TP-A0468, the producer of KST, contains other potential polyketide gene clusters, with no encoded products detected. Deletion of kst cluster led to abolishment of KST and the enrichment of several new compounds, which were isolated and characterized as 16-demethylrifamycins (referred to here as compounds 3 to 6). Transcriptional analysis demonstrated that the expression of the essential genes related to the biosynthesis of compounds 3 to 6 was comparable to the level in the wild-type and in the kst cluster deletion strain. This indicates that the accumulation of these compounds was due to the redirection of metabolic flux rather than transcriptional activation. Genetic disruption, chemical complementation, and bioinformatic analysis revealed that the production of compounds 3 to 6 was accomplished by cross talk between the two distantly placed polyketide gene clusters pks3 and M-rif This finding not only enriches the analogue pool and the biosynthetic diversity of rifamycins but also provides an auxiliary strategy for natural product discovery through genome mining in polyketide-producing microorganisms.IMPORTANCE Natural products are essential in the development of novel clinically used drugs. Discovering new natural products and modifying known compounds are still the two main ways to generate new candidates. Here, we have discovered several rifamycins with varied skeleton structures by redirecting the metabolic flux from the predominant polyketide biosynthetic pathway to the rifamycin pathway in the marine actinomycetes species Micromonospora sp. strain TP-A0468. Rifamycins are indispensable chemotherapeutics in the treatment of various diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, and AIDS-related mycobacterial infections. This study exemplifies a useful method for the discovery of cryptic natural products in genome-sequenced microbes. Moreover, the 16-demethylrifamycins and their genetically manipulable producer provide a new opportunity in the construction of novel rifamycin derivates to aid in the defense against the ever-growing drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
New rifamycin congeners (1-33) with incorporated amine and hydrazone substituents leading to lipophilic and/or basic nature and altered rigidity of modified C(3) arm were synthesized and structurally characterized in detail. NMR spectroscopic studies at different temperatures indicate two types of structures of rifamycin congeners that are realized in solution: zwitterionic and non-ionic forms in dependence of the basicity of modified C(3) arm. The presence of rifamycin congeners in these two possible forms has a significant impact on the physico-chemical parameters such as lipophilicity (clogP) and water solubility and different binding mode of the C(3) arm of antibiotic at RNAP binding pocket (molecular target) leading to different antibacterial potency. The highest antibacterial potency against S. aureus (including MRSA and MLSB strains) and S. epidermidis strains, even higher than reference rifampicin (Rif) and rifaximin (Rifx) antibiotics, was found for rifamycin congeners bearing at the C(3) arm relatively rigid and basic substituents (bipiperidine and guanidine groups). These modifications provide favorable docking mode and excellent water solubility resulting in high potency (MICs 0.0078 μg/mL what gives ∼ 8.5 nM), irrespective whether rifamycin congener is a tertiary amine (15) or hydrazone (29). In turn, for a higher antibacterial potency of rifamycin congeners against E. faecalis strain (MICs 0.5 μg/mL that is 0.6 μM) as compared to Rif and Rifx, the most crucial factors are: bulkiness and the lipophilic character of the end of the C(3) rebuilt arm.

Abstract
1,4-Benzoxazin-3-one is a scaffold which is found in a variety of biologically active molecules. Because of its unique structure and drug-like activities, 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones have been widely used in drug discovery. However, just a few methods have been developed to access these molecules by catalytic asymmetric synthesis. We report herein the phase-transfer-catalysed asymmetric alkylation of 2-aryl-1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones as a new way for the highly enantioselective synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones.

Abstract
Actinomycetes have been extensively exploited as one of the most prolific secondary metabolite-producer sources and continue to be in the focus of interest in the constant search of novel bioactive compounds. The availability of less expensive next generation genome sequencing techniques has not only confirmed the extraordinary richness and broad distribution of silent natural product biosynthetic gene clusters among these bacterial genomes, but also has allowed the incorporation of genomics in bacterial taxonomy and systematics. As part of our efforts to isolate novel strains from unique environments, we explored lichen-associated microbial communities as unique assemblages to be studied as potential sources of novel bioactive natural products with application in biotechnology and drug discovery. In this work, we have studied the whole genome sequences of two new Amycolatopsis strains (CA-126428 and CA-128772) isolated from tropical lichens, and performed a comparative genomic analysis with 41 publicly available Amycolatopsis genomes. This work has not only permitted to infer and discuss their taxonomic position on the basis of the different phylogenetic approaches used, but has also allowed to assess the richness and uniqueness of the biosynthetic pathways associated to primary and secondary metabolism, and to provide a first insight on the potential role of these bacteria in the lichen-associated microbial community.

Abstract
Marine fungi are a promising source of novel bioactive natural products with diverse structure. In our search for new bioactive natural products from marine fungi, three new phenone derivatives, asperphenone A–C (1–3), have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the fermentation broth of the mangrove-derived fungus, Aspergillus sp. YHZ-1. The chemical structures of these natural products were elucidated on the basis of mass spectrometry, one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic analysis and asperphenone A and B were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak antibacterial activity against four Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus CMCC(B) 26003, Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC19615, Bacillus subtilis CICC 10283 and Micrococcus luteus, with the MIC values higher than 32.0 µM.

Abstract
Two novel enediyne-derived natural products, amycolamycins A and B (1 and 2), were characterized from a locust-associated actinomycete Amycolatopsis sp. HCa4. Amycolamycins A and B contain a unique 2-(cyclopenta[a]inden-5-yl)oxirane core with suspected enediyne polyketide biosynthetic origin. Sequencing and analysis of the acm biosynthetic gene cluster allowed us to propose the biosynthetic pathway of 1 and 2. Moreover, amycolamycin A (1) was selectively cytotoxic to the M231 breast cancer cell line.
