Abstract
Exploration of high-yield mechanism is important for further titer improvement of valuable antibiotics, but how to achieve this goal is challenging. Tiancimycins (TNMs) are anthraquinone-fused enediynes with promising drug development potentials, but their prospective applications are limited by low titers. This work aimed to explore the intrinsic high-yield mechanism in previously obtained TNMs high-producing strain Streptomyces sp. CB03234-S for the further titer amelioration of TNMs. First, the typical ribosomal RpsL(K43N) mutation in CB03234-S was validated to be merely responsible for the streptomycin resistance but not the titer improvement of TNMs. Subsequently, the combined transcriptomic, pan-genomic and KEGG analyses revealed that the significant changes in the carbon and amino acid metabolisms could reinforce the metabolic fluxes of key CoA precursors, and thus prompted the overproduction of TNMs in CB03234-S. Moreover, fatty acid metabolism was considered to exert adverse effects on the biosynthesis of TNMs by shunting and reducing the accumulation of CoA precursors. Therefore, different combinations of relevant genes were respectively overexpressed in CB03234-S to strengthen fatty acid degradation. The resulting mutants all showed the enhanced production of TNMs. Among them, the overexpression of fadD, a key gene responsible for the first step of fatty acid degradation, achieved the highest 21.7 ± 1.1 mg/L TNMs with a 63.2% titer improvement. Our studies suggested that comprehensive bioinformatic analyses are effective to explore metabolic changes and guide rational metabolic reconstitution for further titer improvement of target products. KEY POINTS: • Comprehensive bioinformatic analyses effectively reveal primary metabolic changes. • Primary metabolic changes cause precursor enrichment to enhance TNMs production. • Strengthening of fatty acid degradation further improves the titer of TNMs.

Abstract
Microbes typically live in complex habitats where they need to rapidly adapt to continuously changing growth conditions. To do so, they produce an astonishing array of natural products with diverse structures and functions. Actinobacteria stand out for their prolific production of bioactive molecules, including antibiotics, anticancer agents, antifungals, and immunosuppressants. Attention has been directed especially towards the identification of the compounds they produce and the mining of the large diversity of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in their genomes. However, the current return on investment in random screening for bioactive compounds is low, while it is hard to predict which of the millions of BGCs should be prioritized. Moreover, many of the BGCs for yet undiscovered natural products are silent or cryptic under laboratory growth conditions. To identify ways to prioritize and activate these BGCs, knowledge regarding the way their expression is controlled is crucial. Intricate regulatory networks control global gene expression in Actinobacteria, governed by a staggering number of up to 1000 transcription factors per strain. This review highlights recent advances in experimental and computational methods for characterizing and predicting transcription factor binding sites and their applications to guide natural product discovery. We propose that regulation-guided genome mining approaches will open new avenues toward eliciting the expression of BGCs, as well as prioritizing subsets of BGCs for expression using synthetic biology approaches. ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY This review provides insights into advances in experimental and computational methods aimed at predicting transcription factor binding sites and their applications to guide natural product discovery.

Abstract
The chapter presents a technique for inducing spontaneous mutations using antibiotics that target microbial ribosomes and/or RNA polymerase, employed in bacterial breeding. In contrast to UV-based mutagenesis, this method allows control of the mutation sites, specifically targeting the rpsL gene. The outlined methodology introduces spontaneous mutations using streptomycin in Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 (LGG), a widely studied lactic acid bacterium. Streptomycin has been shown to induce mutations in the rpsL gene, particularly altering lysine residues at position 56 or 101. It has also been reported to affect bacterial morphology and surface protein composition, thereby enhancing adhesion to human mucin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a modified CRISPR/Cas9 system with the β-glucuronidase (GusA) reporter and a dual sgRNA cassette for Nonomuraea gerenzanensis (N. gerenzanensis). RESULTS With the aid of a visual GusA reporter, the complicated and tedious process of cloning and gene identification could be abandoned entirely in the genetic editing of N. gerenzanensis. Moreover, introducing a dual sgRNA cassette into the CRISPR/Cas9 system significantly improved gene deletion efficiency compared to the single sgRNA element. Furthermore, the length of the homologous flanking sequences set to the lowest value of 500 bp in this system could still reach the relatively higher conjugation transfer frequency. CONCLUSIONS The enhanced CRISPR/Cas9 system could efficiently perform genetic manipulation on the rare actinomycete N. gerenzanensis.

Abstract
Actinobacteria are a large and diverse group of bacteria that are known to produce a wide range of secondary metabolites, many of which have important biological activities, including antibiotics, anti-cancer agents, and immunosuppressants. The biosynthesis of these compounds is often highly regulated with many natural products (NPs) being produced at very low levels in laboratory settings. Environmental factors, such as small molecule elicitors, can induce the production of secondary metabolites. Specifically, they can increase titers of known NPs as well as enabling discovery of novel NPs typically produced at undetectable levels. These elicitors can be NPs, including antibiotics or hormones, or synthetic compounds. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of small molecule elicitors to induce the production of secondary metabolites from actinobacteria, especially for the discovery of NPs from "silent" biosynthetic gene clusters. This review aims to highlight classes of molecules that induce secondary metabolite production in actinobacteria and to describe the potential mechanisms of induction. ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY This review describes chemical elicitors of actinobacteria natural products described to date and the proposed mechanisms of induction.

Abstract
Streptomyces albus J1074 is one of the most popular heterologous expression platforms among streptomycetes. Identification of new genes and mutations that influence specialized metabolism in this species is therefore of great applied interest. Here, we describe S. albus KO-1304 that was isolated as a spontaneous lincomycin-resistant variant of double rpsLR94G rsmGR15SG40E mutant KO-1295. Besides altered antibiotic resistance profile, KO-1304 exhibited increased antibiotic activity as compared to its parental strains. KO-1304 genome sequencing revealed mutations within gene XNR_2147 encoding putative TetR-like protein. Gene XNR_2146 for efflux protein is the most likely target of repressing action of Xnr_2147. Our data agree with the scenario where lincomycin resistance phenotype of KO-1304 arose from inability of mutated Xnr_2147 protein to repress XNR_2146. Introduction of additional copy of XNR_2146 into wild type strain increased antibiotic activity of the latter, attesting to the practical value of transporter genes for strain improvement.

Abstract
Spinosad, a combination of spinosyn A and D produced by Saccharopolyspora spinosa, is a highly efficient pesticide. There has been a considerable interest in the improvement of spinosad production because of a low yield achieved by wild-type S. spinosa. In this study, we designed and constructed a pIBR-SPN vector. pIBR-SPN is an integrative vector that can be used to introduce foreign genes into the chromosome of S. spinosa. Different combinations of genes encoding forasamine and rhamnose were synthesized and used for the construction of different recombinant plasmids. The following recombinant strains were developed: S. spinosa pIBR-SPN (only the vector), S. spinosa pIBR-SPN F (forosamine genes), S. spinosa pIBR-SPN R (rhamnose genes), S. spinosa pIBR-SPN FR (forosamine and rhamnose genes), S. spinosa pIBR-SPN FRS (forosamine, rhamnose, and SAM [S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase] genes), and S. spinosa MUV pIBR-SPN FR. Among these recombinant strains, S. spinosa pIBR-SPN FR produced 1394 ± 163 mg/L spinosad, which was 13-fold higher than the wild-type. S. spinosa MUV pIBR-SPN FR produced 1897 (±129) mg/L spinosad, which was seven-fold higher than S. spinosa MUV and 17-fold higher than the wild-type strain.

Abstract
Toyocamycin, a nucleoside antibiotic, is a fungicide with the potential to control plant pathogens. In this study, three rounds of genome shuffling screening were applied to enhance the toyocamycin production in Streptomyces diastatochromogenes 1628. After three rounds of genome-shuffling screening, the toyocamycin production increased by 10.8-fold that of wild-type, and 2.64-fold of its parental strain. By optimization of its nutrition condition in medium, the highest production of toyocamycin reached 1173.6 mg/L in TY-producing medium. In addition, the mechanism for the improvement of shuffled strains was investigated. Recombinants with increased toyocamycin production exhibited higher transcriptional level of the toy cluster and product resistance. Furthermore, the rise of ATP hydrolysis rate indicated that intracellular ATP exhibit a significant role in tuning the toy cluster by an ATP-binding pathway-specific regulator. In all, we obtained S. diastatochromogenes mutants with enhanced toyocamycin production, and provided a valuable clue for the activation of secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Streptomycin is used primarily to treat bacterial infections, including brucellosis, plague, and tuberculosis. Streptomycin resistance easily develops in numerous bacteria through the inhibition of antibiotic transfer, the production of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, or mutations in ribosomal components with clinical doses of streptomycin treatment. (1) Background: A transposable insertion sequence is one of the mutation agents in bacterial genomes under oxidative stress. (2) Methods: In the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus geothermalis subjected to chronic oxidative stress induced by 20 mM hydrogen peroxide, active transposition of an insertion sequence element and several point mutations in three streptomycin resistance (SmR)-related genes (rsmG, rpsL, and mthA) were identified. (3) Results: ISDge6 of the IS5 family integrated into the rsmG gene (dgeo_2335), called SrsmG, encodes a ribosomal guanosine methyltransferase resulting in streptomycin resistance. In the case of dgeo_2840-disrupted mutant strains (S1 and S2), growth inhibition under antibiotic-free conditions was recovered with increased growth yields in the presence of 50 µg/mL streptomycin due to a streptomycin-dependent (SmD) mutation. These mutants have a predicted proline-to-leucine substitution at the 91st residue of ribosomal protein S12 in the decoding center. (4) Conclusions: Our findings show that the active transposition of a unique IS element under oxidative stress conditions conferred antibiotic resistance through the disruption of rsmG. Furthermore, chronic oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide also induced streptomycin resistance caused by point and frameshift mutations of streptomycin-interacting residues such as K43, K88, and P91 in RpsL and four genes for streptomycin resistance.

Abstract
The Streptomyces albus J1074 strain remains one of the most popular platforms for the discovery of new natural compounds due to the expression of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from the microorganisms of the Actinobacteria class. Different methods were tested to provide a maximal expression of heterologous BGCs in this strain. However, there is still no description of the properties of spontaneous J1074 mutants in the rpsL gene encoding a ribosomal protein S12. The interest in such mutations in actinobacteria is due to the fact that they provide a considerable increase in the antibiotic activity. In this work, we describe the isolation and characterization of the S. albus KO-1297 strain, which contains a spontaneous missense mutation in the rpsL gene leading to a Lys88Glu substitution in the protein S12. As compared with the initial strain, this mutant exhibits an increased resistance to streptomycin and higher antibiotic productivity. The KO-1297 strain and genetically engineered rpsLK88E mutant K88E are not identical in their ability to produce antibiotics. KO-1297 also exhibits a certain level of instability of rpsL mutation. The genomes of KO-1297 and its rpsLWT revertant contain the mutations that can cause phenotypic differences between these strains (as well as between them and SAM2 and K88E strains).

Abstract
Bacterial specialized metabolites are of immense importance because of their medicinal, industrial, and agricultural applications. Streptomyces clavuligerus is a known producer of such compounds; however, much of its metabolic potential remains unknown, as many associated biosynthetic gene clusters are silent or expressed at low levels. The overexpression of ribosome recycling factor (frr) and ribosome engineering (induced rpsL mutations) in other Streptomyces spp. has been reported to increase the production of known specialized metabolites. Therefore, we used an overexpression strategy in combination with untargeted metabolomics, molecular networking, and in silico analysis to annotate 28 metabolites in the current study, which have not been reported previously in S. clavuligerus. Many of the newly described metabolites are commonly found in plants, further alluding to the ability of S. clavuligerus to produce such compounds under specific conditions. In addition, the manipulation of frr and rpsL led to different metabolite production profiles in most cases. Known and putative gene clusters associated with the production of the observed compounds are also discussed. This work suggests that the combination of traditional strain engineering and recently developed metabolomics technologies together can provide rapid and cost-effective strategies to further speed up the discovery of novel natural products.

Abstract
Certain point mutations within gene for ribosomal protein S12, rpsL, are known to dramatically change physiological traits of bacteria, most prominently antibiotic resistance and production of various metabolites. The rpsL mutants are usually searched among spontaneous mutants resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as streptomycin or paromomycin. The shortcomings of traditional selection are as follows: random rpsL mutants may carry undesired genome alterations; many rpsL mutations cannot be isolated because they are either not associated with increased antibiotic resistance or non-viable in the absence of intact rpsLWT gene. Introduction of mutant rpsL alleles in the rpsLWT background can be used to circumvent these obstacles. Here we take the latter approach and report the generation and properties of a set of stable rpsL merodiploids for Streptomyces albus J1074. We identified several rpsL alleles that enhance endogenous and heterologous antibiotic production by this strain and show that rpsLWTrpsLK88E merodiploid displays increased streptomycin resistance. We further tested several promising rpsL alleles in two more strains, Streptomyces cyanogenus S136 and Streptomyces ghanaensis ATCC14672. In S136, plasmid-borne rpsLK88E+P91S and rpsLK88R led to elevated landomycin production; no changes were detected for ATCC14672 merodiploids. Our data outline the prospects for and limitations to rpsL merodiploids as a tool for rapid enhancement of secondary metabolism in Streptomyces.

J Biotechnol 2020; 324:28-33.

Abstract
The semi-synthetic antibiotic dalbavancin is clinically used in the treatment of severe infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram-positive pathogens. So far, fermentation has still been the only approach for the production of A40926 in the industrial scale, which is used as the precursor of dalbavancin and biosynthesized by the rare actinomycete Nonomuraea gerenzanensis (N. gerenzanensis). Therefore, it is particularly essential and necessary to enhance the yield of A40926 continually. In this paper, we firstly assessed the activity of 6 heterologous promoters using the enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) reporter system in N. gerenzanensis. Furthermore, the strongest constitutive promoter gapdh confirmed in this study was applied to separately overexpress the total of ten dbv genes involved in the A40926 biosynthesis. PCR and RT-qPCR were successively carried out to verify the mutant and the overexpression of dbv genes. As a consequence, the overexpression of dbv3 and dbv20 genes both increased the A40926 production remarkably. Based on the above consequences, a mutant strain named N320 laboring the co-expression of dbv3 and dbv20 was constructed. The results of fermentation showed that the N320 strain enhanced the yield of A40926 from 163 mg/L to 272 mg/L.

Abstract
To improve the production of secondary metabolites by alternation of the carbon metabolic flux, two types of deletion mutants of the central metabolic pathway, the Embden-Meyerhof (EM) or pentose phosphate (PP) pathway, in the genetically engineered Streptomyces avermitilis were constructed. Double-deletion mutants of phosphofructokinase (ΔpfkA1ΔpfkA3) in the EM pathway carrying a gene cluster for chloramphenicol biosynthesis markedly increased chloramphenicol production synthesized through the shikimate pathway. Although the ΔpfkA1ΔpfkA3 double-deletion mutant grew more slowly, its specific productivity of chloramphenicol (per dry cell weight) was 2.0-fold higher than that of the engineered S. avermitilis strain. However, the productivity of chloramphenicol was lower by the double-deletion mutant of transaldolase in the PP pathway, which supplies the precursor of the shikimate pathway. A carbon-flux analysis of the EM and PP pathways using [1-13C] glucose revealed that carbon flux in the ΔpfkA1ΔpfkA3 double-deletion mutant increased through the PP pathway, which enhanced the production of chloramphenicol. These results suggest that a metabolic modification approach has the potential to increase the titers and yields of valuable secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Tetraene macrolides remain one of the most reliable fungicidal agents as resistance of fungal pathogens to these antibiotics is relatively rare. The modes of action and biosynthesis of polyene macrolides had been the focus of research over the past few years. However, few studies have been carried out on the overproduction of polyene macrolides. In the present study, cumulative drug-resistance mutation was used to obtain a quintuple mutant G5-59 with huge tetraene macrolide overproduction from the starting strain Streptomyces diastatochromogenes 1628. Through DNA sequence analysis, the mutation points in the genes of rsmG, rpsL and rpoB were identified. Additionally, the growth characteristic and expression level of tetrRI gene (belonging to the large ATP binding regulator of LuxR family) involved in the biosynthesis of tetraene macrolides were analyzed. As examined with 5L fermentor, the quintuple mutant G5-59 grew very well and the maximum productivity of tetramycin A, tetramycin P and tetrin B was as high as 1735, 2811 and 1500 mg/L, which was 8.7-, 16- and 25-fold higher than that of the wild-type strain 1628, respectively. The quintuple mutant G5-59 could be useful for further improvement of tetraene macrolides production at industrial level.

Genome shuffling based on different types of ribosome engineering mutants for enhanced production of 10-membered enediyne tiancimycin-A. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:4359-4369. [PMID: 32236679 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10583-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Tiancimycin-A (TNM-A) is an anthraquinone-fused ten-membered enediyne produced by Streptomyces sp. CB03234, which is very promising for the development of anticancer antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). To improve the titer of TNM-A, we have generated high-producing mutants CB03234-S and CB03234-R through ribosome engineering, but still not sufficient for pilot production of TNM-A. As the follow-up work, gentamycin-induced ribosome engineering was further adopted here to generate the mutant CB03234-G, which produced similar level of TNM-A as in CB03234-S and CB03234-R. Benefiting from the distinct antibiotic resistances of three ribosome engineering mutants, genome shuffling between any two of them was respectively carried out, and finally obtained the recombinant CB03234-GS26. Under optimal conditions, CB03234-GS26 produced 40.6 ± 1.0 mg/L TNM-A in shaking flasks and 20.8 ± 0.4 mg/L in a scaled-up 30-L fermentor. Comparing with the parental high-producing mutants, the over 1.6-fold titer improvement of CB03234-GS26 in fermentor was more promising for pilot production of TNM-A. Besides the distinctive morphological features, genetic characterization revealed that CB03234-GS26 possessed 1.8 kb rsmG related deletion just the same as CB03234-S, but no mutation was found in rpsL. Subsequent knockouts proved that rsmG was unrelated to titer improvement of TNM-A, which implied other genomic variations and mechanisms rather than ribosome engineering to enhance the biosynthesis of TNM-A. Therefore, CB03234-GS26 provided a basis to locate potential novel genetic targets, and explore the interactions between complex metabolic network and TNM biosynthetic pathway, which shall promote future construction of high-yielding systems for TNM-A and other anthraquinone-fused enediynes.Key Points •United genome shuffling and ribosome engineering help further strain improvement. •CB03234-GS26 with improved titer is practical for the pilot production of TNM-A. •Enhanced TNM-A production should attribute to novel genetic features/mechanisms.

Abstract
Streptomyces is taken as an important resource for producing the most abundant antibiotics and other bio-active natural products, which have been widely used in pharmaceutical and agricultural areas. Usually they are biosynthesized through secondary metabolic pathways encoded by cluster situated genes. And these gene clusters are stringently regulated by interweaved transcriptional regulatory cascades. In the past decades, great advances have been made to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms involved in antibiotic production in Streptomyces. In this review, we summarized the recent advances on the regulatory cascades of antibiotic production in Streptomyces from the following four levels: the signals triggering the biosynthesis, the global regulators, the pathway-specific regulators and the feedback regulation. The production of antibiotic can be largely enhanced by rewiring the regulatory networks, such as overexpression of positive regulators, inactivation of repressors, fine-tuning of the feedback and ribosomal engineering in Streptomyces. The enormous amount of genomic sequencing data implies that the Streptomyces has potential to produce much more antibiotics for the great diversities and wide distributions of biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces genomes. Most of these gene clusters are defined cryptic for unknown or undetectable natural products. In the synthetic biology era, activation of the cryptic gene clusters has been successfully achieved by manipulation of the regulatory genes. Chemical elicitors, rewiring regulatory gene and ribosomal engineering have been employed to crack the potential of cryptic gene clusters. These have been proposed as the most promising strategy to discover new antibiotics. For the complex of regulatory network in Streptomyces, we proposed that the discovery of new antibiotics and the optimization of industrial strains would be greatly promoted by further understanding the regulatory mechanism of antibiotic production.

Abstract
Microbial natural product drug discovery and development has entered a new era, driven by microbial genomics and synthetic biology. Genome sequencing has revealed the vast potential to produce valuable secondary metabolites in bacteria and fungi. However, many of the biosynthetic gene clusters are silent under standard fermentation conditions. By rational screening for mutations in bacterial ribosomal proteins or RNA polymerases, ribosome engineering is a versatile approach to obtain mutants with improved titers for microbial product formation or new natural products through activating silent biosynthetic gene clusters. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of ribosome engineering and its application to natural product discovery and yield improvement in Streptomyces. Our analysis suggests that ribosome engineering is a rapid and cost-effective approach and could be adapted to speed up the discovery and development of natural product drug leads in the post-genomic era.

Combined Drug Resistance Mutations Substantially Enhance Enzyme Production in Paenibacillus agaridevorans. J Bacteriol 2018; 200:JB.00188-18.

Abstract
This study shows that sequential introduction of drug resistance mutations substantially increased enzyme production in Paenibacillus agaridevorans The triple mutant YT478 (rsmG Gln225→stop codon, rpsL K56R, and rpoB R485H), generated by screening for resistance to streptomycin and rifampin, expressed a 1,100-fold-larger amount of the extracellular enzyme cycloisomaltooligosaccharide glucanotransferase (CITase) than the wild-type strain. These mutants were characterized by higher intracellular S-adenosylmethionine concentrations during exponential phase and enhanced protein synthesis activity during stationary phase. Surprisingly, the maximal expression of CITase mRNA was similar in the wild-type and triple mutant strains, but the mutant showed greater CITase mRNA expression throughout the growth curve, resulting in enzyme overproduction. A metabolome analysis showed that the triple mutant YT478 had higher levels of nucleic acids and glycolysis metabolites than the wild type, indicating that YT478 mutant cells were activated. The production of CITase by the triple mutant was further enhanced by introducing a mutation conferring resistance to the rare earth element, scandium. This combined drug resistance mutation method also effectively enhanced the production of amylases, proteases, and agarases by P. agaridevorans and Streptomyces coelicolor This method also activated the silent or weak expression of the P. agaridevorans CITase gene, as shown by comparisons of the CITase gene loci of P. agaridevorans T-3040 and another cycloisomaltooligosaccharide-producing bacterium, Paenibacillus sp. strain 598K. The simplicity and wide applicability of this method should facilitate not only industrial enzyme production but also the identification of dormant enzymes by activating the expression of silent or weakly expressed genes.IMPORTANCE Enzyme use has become more widespread in industry. This study evaluated the molecular basis and effectiveness of ribosome engineering in markedly enhancing enzyme production (>1,000-fold). This method, due to its simplicity, wide applicability, and scalability for large-scale production, should facilitate not only industrial enzyme production but also the identification of novel enzymes, because microorganisms contain many silent or weakly expressed genes which encode novel antibiotics or enzymes. Furthermore, this study provides a new mechanism for strain improvement, with a consistent rather than transient high expression of the key gene(s) involved in enzyme production.

Abstract
Spinosad, a member of polyketide-derived macrolides produced in the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa, has been developed as a broad-spectrum and effective insecticide. The β-oxidation pathway could be an important source of building blocks for the biosynthesis of spinosad, thus the effect of vegetable oils on the production of spinosad in a high-yield strain was investigated. The spinosad production increased significantly with the addition of strawberry seed oil (511.64 mg/L) and camellia oil (520.07 mg/L) compared to the control group without oil (285.76 mg/L) and soybean oil group (398.11 mg/L). It also revealed that the addition of oils would affect the expression of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, precursor supply, and oxidative stress. The genetically engineered strain, in which fadD1 and fadE genes of Streptomyces coelicolor were inserted, produced spinosad up to 784.72 mg/L in the medium containing camellia oil, while a higher spinosad production level (843.40 mg/L) was detected with the addition of 0.01 mM of thiourea.

Abstract
The global prevalence of drug resistance has created an urgent need for the discovery of novel anti-infective drugs. The major source of antibiotics in current clinical practice is terrestrial actinobacteria; the less-exploited deep-sea actinobacteria may serve as an unprecedented source of novel natural products. In this study, we evaluated 50 actinobacteria strains derived from diverse deep water sponges and environmental niches for their anti-microbial activities against a panel of pathogens including Candida albicans, Clostridium difficile, Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. More than half of the tested strains (27) were identified as active in at least one assay. The rare earth salt lanthanum chloride (LaCl3) was shown to be as an effective elicitor. Among the 27 strains, the anti-microbial activity of 15 were induced or enhanced by the addition of LaCl3. This part of study focused on one strain R818, in which potent antifungal activity was induced by the addition of LaCl3. We found that the LaCl3-activated metabolites in R818 are likely antimycin-type compounds. One of them, compound 1, has been purified. Spectroscopic analyses including HR-MS and 1D NMR indicated that this compound is urauchimycin D. The antifungal activity of compound 1 was confirmed with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 25 μg/mL; the purified compound also showed a moderate activity against C. difficile. Additional notable strains are: strain N217 which showed both antifungal and antibacterial (including P. aeruginosa) activities and strain M864 which showed potent activity against C. difficile with an MIC value (0.125 μg/mL) lower than those of vancomycin and metronidazole. Our preliminary studies show that deep-sea actinobacteria is a promising source of anti-infective natural products.

Strain improvement by combined UV mutagenesis and ribosome engineering and subsequent fermentation optimization for enhanced 6'-deoxy-bleomycin Z production. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2017; 102:1651-1661.

Abstract
The bleomycins (BLMs) are important clinical drugs extensively used in combination chemotherapy for the treatment of various cancers. Dose-dependent lung toxicity and the development of drug resistance have restricted their wide applications. 6'-Deoxy-BLM Z, a recently engineered BLM analogue with improved antitumor activity, has the potential to be developed into the next-generation BLM anticancer drug. However, its low titer in the recombinant strain Streptomyces flavoviridis SB9026 has hampered current efforts, which require sufficient compound, to pursue preclinical studies and subsequent clinical development. Here, we report the strain improvement by combined UV mutagenesis and ribosome engineering, as well as the fermentation optimization, for enhanced 6'-deoxy-BLM production. A high producer, named S. flavoviridis G-4F12, was successfully isolated, producing 6'-deoxy-BLM at above 70 mg/L under the optimized fermentation conditions, representing a sevenfold increase in comparison with that of the original producer. These findings demonstrated the effectiveness of combined empirical breeding methods in strain improvement and set the stage for sustainable production of 6'-deoxy-BLM via pilot-scale microbial fermentation.

Abstract
Endophytic actinobacteria, which reside in the inner tissues of host plants, are gaining serious attention due to their capacity to produce a plethora of secondary metabolites (e.g. antibiotics) possessing a wide variety of biological activity with diverse functions. This review encompasses the recent reports on endophytic actinobacterial species diversity, in planta habitats and mechanisms underlying their mode of entry into plants. Besides, their metabolic potential, novel bioactive compounds they produce and mechanisms to unravel their hidden metabolic repertoire by activation of cryptic or silent biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for eliciting novel secondary metabolite production are discussed. The study also reviews the classical conservative techniques (chemical/biological/physical elicitation, co-culturing) as well as modern microbiology tools (e.g. next generation sequencing) that are being gainfully employed to uncover the vast hidden scaffolds for novel secondary metabolites produced by these endophytes, which would subsequently herald a revolution in drug engineering. The potential role of these endophytes in the agro-environment as promising biological candidates for inhibition of phytopathogens and the way forward to thoroughly exploit this unique microbial community by inducing expression of cryptic BGCs for encoding unseen products with novel therapeutic properties are also discussed.

Abstract
Comparative genome sequencing analysis of a lincomycin-resistant strain of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and the wild-type strain identified a novel mutation conferring a high level of lincomycin resistance. Surprisingly, the new mutation was an in-frame DNA deletion in the genes SCO4597 and SCO4598, resulting in formation of the hybrid gene linR. SCO4597 and SCO4598 encode two histidine kinases, which together with SCO4596, encoding a response regulator, constitute a unique two-component system. Sequence analysis indicated that these three genes and their arrangement patterns are ubiquitous among all Streptomyces genomes sequenced to date, suggesting these genes play important regulatory roles. Gene replacement showed that this mutation was responsible for the high level of lincomycin resistance, the overproduction of the antibiotic actinorhodin, and the enhanced morphological differentiation of this strain. Moreover, heterologous expression of the hybrid gene linR in Escherichia coli conferred resistance to lincomycin in this organism. Introduction of the hybrid gene linR in various Streptomyces strains by gene engineering technology may widely activate and/or enhance antibiotic production.

Abstract
At the high concentrations used in medicine, antibiotics exert strong selection on bacterial populations for the evolution of resistance. However, these lethal concentrations may not be representative of the concentrations bacteria face in soil, a recognition that has led to questions of the role of antibiotics in soil environments as well as the dynamics of resistance evolution during sublethal challenge. Here we examine the evolution of resistance to sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) of streptomycin in the filamentous soil bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. First, we show that spontaneous resistance to streptomycin causes an average fitness deficit of ~21% in the absence of drugs; however, these costs are eliminated at concentrations as low as 1/10 the MIC of susceptible strains. Using experimental evolution, we next show that resistance to >MIC levels of streptomycin readily evolves when bacteria are exposed to sub-MIC doses for 500 generations. Furthermore, the resistant clones that evolved at sub-MIC streptomycin concentrations carry no fitness cost. Whole-genome analyses reveal that evolved resistant clones fixed some of the same mutations as those isolated at high drug concentrations; however, all evolved clones carry additional mutations and some fixed mutations that either compensate for costly resistance or have no associated fitness costs. Our results broaden the conditions under which resistance can evolve in nature and suggest that rather than low-concentration antibiotics acting as signals, resistance evolves in response to antibiotics used as weapons.

Abstract
Covering: 2000 to 2016The labor-intensive process of microbial natural product discovery is contingent upon identifying discrete secondary metabolites of interest within complex biological extracts, which contain inventories of all extractable small molecules produced by an organism or consortium. Historically, compound isolation prioritization has been driven by observed biological activity and/or relative metabolite abundance and followed by dereplication via accurate mass analysis. Decades of discovery using variants of these methods has generated the natural pharmacopeia but also contributes to recent high rediscovery rates. However, genomic sequencing reveals substantial untapped potential in previously mined organisms, and can provide useful prescience of potentially new secondary metabolites that ultimately enables isolation. Recently, advances in comparative metabolomics analyses have been coupled to secondary metabolic predictions to accelerate bioactivity and abundance-independent discovery work flows. In this review we will discuss the various analytical and computational techniques that enable MS-based metabolomic applications to natural product discovery and discuss the future prospects for comparative metabolomics in natural product discovery.

Abstract
It has previously been reported that some strains of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea produce the purple bioactive pigment violacein as well as the antibiotic compound indolmycin, hitherto only found in Streptomyces. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relative role of each of these two compounds as antibacterial compounds in P. luteoviolacea S4054. Using Tn10 transposon mutagenesis, a mutant strain that was significantly reduced in violacein production in mannose-containing substrates was created. Full genome analyses revealed that the vio-biosynthetic gene cluster was not interrupted by the transposon; instead the insertion was located to the maeA gene encoding the malic enzyme. Supernatant of the mutant strain inhibited Vibrio anguillarum and Staphylococcus aureus in well diffusion assays and in MIC assays at the same level as the wild type strain. The mutant strain killed V. anguillarum in co-culture experiments as efficiently as the wild type. Using UHPLC-UV/Vis analyses, we quantified violacein and indolmycin, and the mutant strain only produced 7-10% the amount of violacein compared to the wild type strain. In contrast, the amount of indolmycin produced by the mutant strain was about 300% that of the wild type. Since inhibition of V. anguillarum and S. aureus by the mutant strain was similar to that of the wild type, it is concluded that violacein is not the major antibacterial compound in P. luteoviolacea. We furthermore propose that production of violacein and indolmycin may be metabolically linked and that yet unidentified antibacterial compound(s) may be play a role in the antibacterial activity of P. luteoviolacea.

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.

Abstract
As bacteria and fungi have been found to contain genes encoding enzymes that synthesize a plethora of potential secondary metabolites, interest has grown in the activation of these cryptic pathways. Homologous and heterologous expression of these cryptic secondary metabolite-biosynthetic genes, often silent under ordinary laboratory fermentation conditions, may lead to the discovery of novel secondary metabolites. This review addresses current progress in the activation of these pathways, describing methods for activating silent genes. It especially focuses on genetic manipulation of transcription and translation (ribosome engineering), the utilization of elicitors, metabolism remodeling and co-cultivation. In particular, the principles and technical points of ribosome engineering and the significance of S-adenosylmethionine in bacterial physiology, especially secondary metabolism, are described in detail.

Abstract
Actinomycetes populate soils and aquatic sediments that impose biotic and abiotic challenges for their survival. As a result, actinomycetes metabolism and genomes have evolved to produce an overwhelming diversity of specialized molecules. Polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides, post-translationally modified peptides, lactams, and terpenes are well-known bioactive natural products with enormous industrial potential. Accessing such biological diversity has proven difficult due to the complex regulation of cellular metabolism in actinomycetes and to the sparse knowledge of their physiology. The past decade, however, has seen the development of omics technologies that have significantly contributed to our better understanding of their biology. Key observations have contributed toward a shift in the exploitation of actinomycete’s biology, such as using their full genomic potential, activating entire pathways through key metabolic elicitors and pathway engineering to improve biosynthesis. Here, we review recent efforts devoted to achieving enhanced discovery, activation, and manipulation of natural product biosynthetic pathways in model actinomycetes using genome-scale biological datasets.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are a major source of antimicrobials, anticancer compounds, and other medically important products, and their genomes harbor extensive biosynthetic potential. Major challenges in the screening of these microorganisms are to activate the expression of cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters and the development of technologies for efficient dereplication of known molecules. Here we report the identification of a previously unidentified isatin-type antibiotic produced by Streptomyces sp. MBT28, following a strategy based on NMR-based metabolomics combined with the introduction of streptomycin resistance in the producer strain. NMR-guided isolation by tracking the target proton signal resulted in the characterization of 7-prenylisatin (1) with antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis. The metabolite-guided genome mining of Streptomyces sp. MBT28 combined with proteomics identified a gene cluster with an indole prenyltransferase that catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan into 7-prenylisatin. This study underlines the applicability of NMR-based metabolomics in facilitating the discovery of novel antibiotics.

Abstract
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules consist of numerous chemically modified nucleosides that are highly conserved in eukarya, archeae, and bacteria, while others are unique to each domain of life. In bacteria, hundreds of RNA modification enzymes have been identified and implicated in biological pathways associated with many cell processes. The glucose-inhibited division (gid) operon encodes genes for two RNA modification enzymes named GidA and GidB. Studies have shown GidA is essential for the proper biosynthesis of 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (mnm(5)s(2)U) of bacterial transfer RNA (tRNA) with GidB responsible for the methylation of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Furthermore, deletion of gidA and gidB has shown to alter numerous bacterial properties like virulence, stress response, morphology, growth, antibiotic susceptibility, and others. In this review, we discuss the present knowledge of the RNA modification enzymes GidA and GidB, and their potential role in the biology and virulence of bacteria.

Abstract
Actinomycetes continue to be important sources for the discovery of secondary metabolites for applications in human medicine, animal health, and crop protection. With the maturation of actinomycete genome mining as a robust approach to identify new and novel cryptic secondary metabolite gene clusters, it is critical to continue developing methods to activate and enhance secondary metabolite biosynthesis for discovery, development, and large-scale manufacturing. This review covers recent reports on promising new approaches and further validations or technical improvements of existing approaches to strain improvement applicable to a wide range of Streptomyces species and other actinomycetes.

Abstract
Secondary metabolite biosynthesis in microorganisms responds to discrete chemical and biological stimuli; however, untargeted identification of these responses presents a significant challenge. Herein we apply multiplexed stimuli to Streptomyces coelicolor and collect the resulting response metabolomes via ion mobility-mass spectrometric analysis. Self-organizing map (SOM) analytics adapted for metabolomic data demonstrate efficient characterization of the subsets of primary and secondary metabolites that respond similarly across stimuli. Over 60% of all metabolic features inventoried from responses are either not observed under control conditions or produced at greater than 2-fold increase in abundance in response to at least one of the multiplexing conditions, reflecting how metabolites encode phenotypic changes in an organism responding to multiplexed challenges. Using abundance as an additional filter, each of 16 known S. coelicolor secondary metabolites is prioritized via SOM and observed at increased levels (1.2- to 22-fold compared with unperturbed) in response to one or more challenge conditions.

Strain improvement and optimization studies for enhanced production of erythromycin in bagasse based medium using Saccharopolyspora erythraea MTCC 1103. 3 Biotech 2015; 5:23-31. [PMID: 28324355 PMCID: PMC4327752 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-013-0186-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2013] [Accepted: 11/20/2013] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present study, Saccharopolyspora erythraea MTCC 1103 was used for the enhanced production of erythromycin. To enhance the yield of erythromycin, effects of various parameters such as bagasse concentration, organic nitrogen source, inorganic nitrogen source, pH and temperature were analysed. It was found that bagasse can be used as an alternate carbon source in erythromycin production medium. Erythromycin production in the new formulation of bagasse based medium was found to be 512 mg/L which was 28 % higher than glucose based medium. Strain improvement was done by random UV-mutagenesis. When compared to wild type strain, mutant strain showed 40 % higher yield in production medium. Erythromycin potency assay and HPLC analysis were performed to confirm the presence of erythromycin in the partially purified samples. These optimized conditions could be used for the commercial production of this unique antibiotic which gave significant industrial perspectives.

Abstract
To improve the ethanol tolerance of the Klebsiella variicola strain TB-83, we obtained the streptomycin-resistant, ethanol-tolerant mutant strain TB-83D by a ribosome engineering approach. Strain TB-83D was able to grow in the presence of 7% (v/v) ethanol and it showed higher ethanol production than strain TB-83. Examination of various culture conditions revealed that yeast extract was essential for ethanol production and bacterial growth. In addition, ethanol production was elevated to 32g/L by the addition of yeast extract; however, ethanol production was inhibited by formate accumulation. With regard to cost reduction, the use of corn steep liquor (CSL) markedly decreased the formate concentration, and 34g/L ethanol was produced by combining yeast extract with CSL. Our study is the first to improve ethanol tolerance and productivity by a ribosome engineering approach, and we found that strain TB-83D is effective for ethanol production from glycerol.

Development, antibiotic production, and ribosome assembly in Streptomyces venezuelae are impacted by RNase J and RNase III deletion. J Bacteriol 2014; 196:4253-67.

Abstract
RNA metabolism is a critical but frequently overlooked control element affecting virtually every cellular process in bacteria. RNA processing and degradation is mediated by a suite of ribonucleases having distinct cleavage and substrate specificity. Here, we probe the role of two ribonucleases (RNase III and RNase J) in the emerging model system Streptomyces venezuelae. We show that each enzyme makes a unique contribution to the growth and development of S. venezuelae and further affects the secondary metabolism and antibiotic production of this bacterium. We demonstrate a connection between the action of these ribonucleases and translation, with both enzymes being required for the formation of functional ribosomes. RNase III mutants in particular fail to properly process 23S rRNA, form fewer 70S ribosomes, and show reduced translational processivity. The loss of either RNase III or RNase J additionally led to the appearance of a new ribosomal species (the 100S ribosome dimer) during exponential growth and dramatically sensitized these mutants to a range of antibiotics.

The mthA mutation conferring low-level resistance to streptomycin enhances antibiotic production in Bacillus subtilis by increasing the S-adenosylmethionine pool size. J Bacteriol 2014; 196:1514-24.

Abstract
Certain Str(r) mutations that confer low-level streptomycin resistance result in the overproduction of antibiotics by Bacillus subtilis. Using comparative genome-sequencing analysis, we successfully identified this novel mutation in B. subtilis as being located in the mthA gene, which encodes S-adenosylhomocysteine/methylthioadenosine nucleosidase, an enzyme involved in the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-recycling pathways. Transformation experiments showed that this mthA mutation was responsible for the acquisition of low-level streptomycin resistance and overproduction of bacilysin. The mthA mutant had an elevated level of intracellular SAM, apparently acquired by arresting SAM-recycling pathways. This increase in the SAM level was directly responsible for bacilysin overproduction, as confirmed by forced expression of the metK gene encoding SAM synthetase. The mthA mutation fully exerted its effect on antibiotic overproduction in the genetic background of rel(+) but not the rel mutant, as demonstrated using an mthA relA double mutant. Strikingly, the mthA mutation activated, at the transcription level, even the dormant ability to produce another antibiotic, neotrehalosadiamine, at concentrations of 150 to 200 μg/ml, an antibiotic not produced (<1 μg/ml) by the wild-type strain. These findings establish the significance of SAM in initiating bacterial secondary metabolism. They also suggest a feasible methodology to enhance or activate antibiotic production, by introducing either the rsmG mutation to Streptomyces or the mthA mutation to eubacteria, since many eubacteria have mthA homologues.

Abstract
Abstract
Since bacteria were found to contain genes encoding enzymes that synthesize a plethora of potential secondary metabolites, interest has grown in the activation of these cryptic pathways. Homologous and heterologous expression of these cryptic secondary metabolite-biosynthetic genes, often “silent” under ordinary laboratory fermentation conditions, may lead to the discovery of novel secondary metabolites. We review current progress on this topic, describing concepts for activating silent genes. We especially focus on genetic manipulation of transcription and translation, as well as the utilization of rare earth elements as a novel method to activate the silent genes. The possible roles of silent genes in bacterial physiology are also discussed.
