Abstract
Crocus sativus L. is a perennial crop for its valuable active compounds. Plant-associated microbes impact on the quality and efficacy of medicinal herbs by promoting bioactive components accumulation. However, how microbes influence the accumulation of bioactive components in saffron have not been well studied. Here, the microbiome in C. sativus derived from 3 core production areas were deciphered by 16S rDNA sequencing and the relationship between endophytes and bioactive ingredients were further investigated. The main results are as follows: (1) Both Comamonadaceae and Burkholderiaceae were positively correlated with the content of bioactive components in the stigmas. (2) The synthesis of crocin was positively correlated with Xanthomonadaceae, negatively correlated with Lachnospiraceae and Prevotellaceae. Therefore, further investigation is required to determine whether Xanthomonadaceae plays an unknown function in the synthesis of crocin. These findings provide guidelines for disentangling the function of endophytes in the production of bioactive ingredients and thus for microbe-mediated breeding.

Targeting antimalarial metabolites from the actinomycetes associated with the Red Sea sponge Callyspongia siphonella using a metabolomic method. BMC Microbiol 2023; 23:396. [PMID: 38087203 PMCID: PMC10714608 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-023-03094-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Malaria is a persistent illness that is still a public health issue. On the other hand, marine organisms are considered a rich source of anti‑infective drugs and other medically significant compounds. Herein, we reported the isolation of the actinomycete associated with the Red Sea sponge Callyspongia siphonella. Using "one strain many compounds" (OSMAC) approach, a suitable strain was identified and then sub-cultured in three different media (M1, ISP2 and OLIGO). The extracts were evaluated for their in-vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum strain and subsequently analyzed by Liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HR-MS). In addition, MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was used to statistically analyze the LC-MS data. Finally, Molecular docking was carried out for the dereplicated metabolites against lysyl-tRNA synthetase (PfKRS1). The phylogenetic study of the 16S rRNA sequence of the actinomycete isolate revealed its affiliation to Streptomyces genus. Antimalarial screening revealed that ISP2 media is the most active against Plasmodium falciparum strain. Based on LC-HR-MS based metabolomics and multivariate analyses, the static cultures of the media, ISP2 (ISP2-S) and M1 (M1-S), are the optimal media for metabolites production. OPLS-DA suggested that quinone derivatives are abundant in the extracts with the highest antimalarial activity. Fifteen compounds were identified where eight of these metabolites were correlated to the observed antimalarial activity of the active extracts. According to molecular docking experiments, saframycin Y3 and juglomycin E showed the greatest binding energy scores (-6.2 and -5.13) to lysyl-tRNA synthetase (PfKRS1), respectively. Using metabolomics and molecular docking investigation, the quinones, saframycin Y3 (5) and juglomycin E (1) were identified as promising antimalarial therapeutic candidates. Our approach can be used as a first evaluation stage in natural product drug development, facilitating the separation of chosen metabolites, particularly biologically active ones.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) occupies a huge and uncharted molecular space. Given its properties, DOM can be presented as a promising biotechnological resource. However, research into bioactivities of DOM is still in early stages. In this study, the biotechnological potential of terrestrial and marine DOM, its molecular composition and their relationships are investigated. Samples were screened for their in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and antioxidant activities. Antibacterial activity was detected against Staphylococcus aureus in almost all DOM samples, with freshwater DOM showing the lowest IC50 values. Most samples also inhibited Staphylococcus epidermidis, and four DOM extracts showed up to fourfold higher potency than the reference drug. Antifungal activity was limited to only porewater DOM towards human dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum. No significant in vitro anticancer activity was observed. Low antioxidant potential was exerted. The molecular characterization by FT-ICR MS allowed a broad compositional overview. Three main distinguished groups have been identified by PCoA analyses. Antibacterial activities are related to high aromaticity content and highly-unsaturated molecular formulae (O-poor). Antifungal effect is correlated with highly-unsaturated molecular formulae (O-rich). Antioxidant activity is positively related to the presence of double bonds and polyphenols. This study evidenced for the first time antibacterial and antifungal activity in DOM with potential applications in cosmeceutical, pharmaceutical and aquaculture industry. The lack of cytotoxicity and the almost unlimited presence of this organic material may open new avenues in future marine bioprospecting efforts.

Abstract
Here we describe the antimicrobial potential of secondary metabolites, fulvic acid (F.A.) and anhydrofulvic acid (AFA), produced by RDE147, an endophyte of Rosa damascena Mill. The endophyte was identified as Cercospora piaropi by ITS and β-tubulin-based phylogenetic analyses, while chemoprofiling of the endophyte by column chromatography and spectroscopy yielded two pure compounds, F.A. and AFA. The compounds demonstrated different antimicrobial profiles, with AFA suppressing the growth of C. albicans at 7.3 µg ml-1 IC50. Further studies revealed that AFA strongly restricted the biofilm production and hyphae formation in C. albicans by down-regulating several biofilm and morphogenesis-related genes. The time-kill assays confirmed the fungicidal activity of AFA against C. albicans, killing 83.6% of the pathogen cells in 24 h at the MIC concentration, and the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) experiments established the suppression of C. albicans growth for extended time periods. The compound acted synergistically with amphotericin B and nystatin and reduced ergosterol biosynthesis by the pathogen, confirmed by ergosterol estimation and comparative expression profiling of selected genes and molecular docking of AFA with C. albicans squalene epoxidase. AFA also suppressed the expression of several other virulence genes of the fungal pathogen. The study determines the anti-C. albicans potential of AFA and its impact on the biology of the pathogen. It also indicates that Cercospora species may yield potential bioactive molecules, especially fulvic acid derivatives. However, it is imperative to conduct in vivo studies to explore this molecule's therapeutic potential further.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top ten health-related threats worldwide. Among several antimicrobial agents, naphthoquinones (NQs) of plant/chemical origin possess enormous structural and functional diversity and are effective against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. 1,4-NQs possess alkyl, hydroxyl, halide, and metal groups as side chains on their double-ring structure, predominantly at the C-2, C-3, C-5, and C-8 positions. Among 1,4-NQs, hydroxyl groups at either C-2 or C-5 exhibit significant antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. (ESKAPE) and MDR categories. 1,4-NQs exhibit antibacterial activities like plasmids curing, reactive oxygen species generation, efflux pumps inhibition, anti-DNA gyrase activity, membrane permeabilization, and biofilm inhibition. This review emphasizes the structure-function relationships of 1,4-NQs against ESKAPE and MDR pathogens based on a literature review of studies published in the last 15 years. Overall, 1,4-NQs have great potential for counteracting the antimicrobial resistance of MDR pathogens.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the antimicrobial capability of sclareol and its derivatives against Staphylococcus aureus and its Methicillin-resistant strain (MRSA). METHODS AND RESULTS A new series of Boron-Heck-coupled sclareol analogs were prepared by structural modifications at C-15 terminal double bond of sclareol using ultrasonication. The structural modifications were designed to keep the stereochemistry of all the five chiral centres of sclareol intact. A two-step reaction scheme consisting of Boron-Heck coupling of sclareol followed by Wittig reaction was carried out to produce novel sclareol congeners for antintimicrobial evaluation. Three compounds SAJ-1, SAJ-2 and SB-11 exhibited strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-resistant strain (MRSA) with MIC values between 3 to 11 μM. Among all the screened compounds, SAJ-1 and SAJ-2 showed the best anti-biofilm profiles against both the strains. Moreover SAJ-1 and SAJ-2 acted synergistically with streptomycin against S. aureus while creating varying outcomes in combination with ciprofloxacin, penicillin, and ampicillin. SAJ-1 also acted synergistically with ampicillin against S. aureus, while SB-11 showed synergism with ciprofloxacin against both pathogens. Moreover, SAJ-1 and SAJ-2 also inhibited staphyloxanthin production in S. aureus and MRSA and induced post-antibiotic effects against both pathogens. CONCLUSIONS It can be inferred that SAJ-1, SAJ-2 and SB-11 may act as potential chemical entities for the development of antibacterial substances. The study revealed that SAJ-1 and SAJ-2 are most suitable sclareol analogs for further studies towards the development of antibacterial substances. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY SAJ-1, SAJ-2 and SB-11 show promising antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus. Efforts should be made and more research should be done, utilising in vivo models to determine their efficacy as antibiotics.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the role of the leading saffron endophyte Burkholderia gladioli strain E39CS3 (BG-E39) in the inhibition of corm-rot and induced systemic resistance (ISR) in the host against the saffron specific pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the interaction between BG-E39 and the corm-rot pathogen F. oxysporum in vitro and in vivo. BG-E39 strongly inhibited both the F. oxysporum strains and other saffron-specific and non-specific pathogens used in this study. Confrontation and microscopic analyses revealed that the endophyte possessed fungicidal activity against the pathogens and effectively induced cell death in the mycelia. The endophyte produced chitinases as well as β-1,3-glucanase that may be involved in the pathogen cell wall degradation. BG-E39 did not cause corm-rot in Crocus sativus and the closely related plant, Gladiolus, thus establishing that it is non-pathogenic to these plants. The endophyte reduced corm-rot through antibiosis and enhanced the endogenous jasmonic acid (JA) levels and expression of JA-regulated and other plant defence genes. CONCLUSIONS The bacterial endophyte BG-E39 provides resistance to the host plant against F. oxysporum corm-rot in nature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The current study discovers the role of the saffron endophyte BG-E39 in providing resistance to the host against corm-rot. Therefore, this endophyte is a potential candidate for developing a microbial formulation for the biocontrol of the most common disease of C. sativus.

Abstract
Bacteria are rich in a wide variety of secondary metabolites, such as pigments, alkaloids, antibiotics, and others. These bioactive microbial products serve a great application in human and animal health. Their molecular diversity allows these natural products to possess several therapeutic attributes and biological functions. That's why the current natural drug industry focuses on uncovering all the possible ailments and diseases that could be combated by bacterial extracts and their secondary metabolites. In this paper, we review the major utilizations of bacterial natural products for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases, infections and other diseases that threaten public health. We also elaborate on the identified biological activities of bacterial secondary metabolites including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antioxidant activities all of which are essential nowadays with the emergence of drug-resistant microbial pathogens. Throughout this review, we discuss the possible mechanisms of actions in which bacterial-derived biologically active molecular entities could possess healing properties to inspire the development of new therapeutic agents in academia and industry.
