Abstract
An Actinobacteria - Kitasatospora sp. K002 - was isolated from the soil of Cerrado, a savanna-like Brazilian biome. Herein, we conducted a phylogenetic, phenotypic and physiological characterization, revealing its potential for biotechnological applications. Kitasatospora sp. K002 is an aerobic, non-motile, Gram-positive bacteria that forms grayish-white mycelium on solid cultures and submerged spores with vegetative mycelia on liquid cultures. The strain showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Genomic analysis indicated that Kitasatospora xanthocidica JCM 4862 is the closest strain to K002, with a dDDH of 32.8-37.8% and an ANI of 86.86% and the pangenome investigations identified a high number of rare genes. A total of 60 gene clusters of 22 different types were detected by AntiSMASH, and 22 gene clusters showed low similarity (< 10%) with known compounds, which suggests the potential production of novel bioactive compounds. In addition, phylogenetic analysis and morphophysiological characterization clearly distinguished Kitasatospora sp. K002 from other related species. Therefore, we propose that Kitasatospora sp. K002 should be recognized as a new species of the genus Kitasatospora - Kitasatospora brasiliensis sp. nov. (type strains = K002).

Comparative genomics reveals insight into the phylogeny and habitat adaptation of novel Amycolatopsis species, an endophytic actinomycete associated with scab lesions on potato tubers. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1346574. [PMID: 38601305 PMCID: PMC11004387 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1346574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
A novel endophytic actinomycete, strain MEP2-6T, was isolated from scab tissues of potato tubers collected from Mae Fag Mai Sub-district, San Sai District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Strain MEP2-6T is a gram-positive filamentous bacteria characterized by meso-diaminopimelic acid in cell wall peptidoglycan and arabinose, galactose, glucose, and ribose in whole-cell hydrolysates. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine were the major phospholipids, of which MK-9(H6) was the predominant menaquinone, whereas iso-C16:0 and iso-C15:0 were the major cellular fatty acids. The genome of the strain was 10,277,369 bp in size with a G + C content of 71.7%. The 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic and core phylogenomic analyses revealed that strain MEP2-6T was closely related to Amycolatopsis lexingtonensis NRRL B-24131T (99.4%), A. pretoriensis DSM 44654T (99.3%), and A. eburnea GLM-1T (98.9%). Notably, strain MEP2-6T displayed 91.7%, 91.8%, and 87% ANIb and 49%, 48.8%, and 35.4% dDDH to A. lexingtonensis DSM 44653T (=NRRL B-24131T), A. eburnea GLM-1T, and A. pretoriensis DSM 44654T, respectively. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genomic data, strain MEP2-6T could be officially assigned to a novel species within the genus Amycolatopsis, for which the name Amycolatopsis solani sp. nov. has been proposed. The type of strain is MEP2-6T (=JCM 36309T = TBRC 17632T = NBRC 116395T). Amycolatopsis solani MEP2-6T was strongly proven to be a non-phytopathogen of potato scab disease because stunting of seedlings and necrotic lesions on potato tuber slices were not observed, and there were no core biosynthetic genes associated with the BGCs of phytotoxin-inducing scab lesions. Furthermore, comparative genomics can provide a better understanding of the genetic mechanisms that enable A. solani MEP2-6T to adapt to the plant endosphere. Importantly, the strain smBGCs accommodated 33 smBGCs encoded for several bioactive compounds, which could be beneficially applied in the fields of agriculture and medicine. Consequently, strain MEP2-6T is a promising candidate as a novel biocontrol agent and antibiotic producer.

Genomic and physiological traits provide insights into ecological niche adaptations of mangrove endophytic Streptomyces parvulus VCCM 22513. ANN MICROBIOL 2022.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Endophytic Streptomyces parvulus VCCM 22513 isolated from Bruguiera gymnorrhiza in Quang Ninh mangrove forest, northern Vietnam showed abiotic stress tolerance consisting of antioxidant, salt-tolerant, and aromatic-compound degrading activities. The goal of this study was to shed light on genomic bases rendering mangrove endophytic S. parvulus more resilient to environmental stressors.
Methods
Phenotypic analysis including antioxidant activities, hydrogen peroxide and sodium chloride resistance, and aromatic compound utilization were evaluated. The genome of strain VCCM 22513 was sequenced using Illumina Miseq sequencing platform and assembled using SPAdes.
Results
Out of 15 endophytic actinomycetes associated with B. gymnorrhiza in Quang Ninh mangrove, northern Vietnam, VCCM 22513 extract showed remarkable antioxidant activities through (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH and superoxide radical scavenging assays of 72.1 ± 0.04% and 38.3 ± 0.16% at 1.6 mg/ml, respectively. The genome consists of a 7,688,855 bp linear chromosome, 6782 protein-coding sequences, and 68 tRNAs. Genomic analysis identified strain VCCM 22513 as Streptomyces parvulus and confirmed a highly conserved core genome and stability of S. parvulus under natural selection. Genome mining revealed the presence of genetic determinants involved in mycothiol and ergothioneine biosynthesis (26 genes), oxidative stress resistance (43 genes), osmoadaptation (87 genes), heat and cold stress (34 genes), aromatic compound degradation (55 genes). Further genome-wide comparison between S. parvulus VCCM 22513 and 11 Streptomyces genomes showed that VCCM 22513 possesses significantly higher copies of genes involved in mycothiol and ergothioneine biosynthesis. In support of this finding, the strain exhibited much resistance to 0.6–1.0 M H2O2 and 6% (w/v) NaCl as compared to Streptomyces cavourensis YBQ59 isolated from Cinnamomum cassia Prels. In addition, the complete pathways for degradation of aromatic compounds including protocatechuate, gentisate, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, cinnamate, 3-phenylpropionate, and styrene were only identified in the genome of VCCM 22513.
Conclusions
The present study revealed for the first time adaptive responses of mangrove endophytic S. parvulus VCCM 22513 to survive in hostile environment. The information shown here provided better understanding of underlying mechanisms related to adaptation and partially plant-microbe interaction of Streptomyces associated with mangrove plants.
