[PMID: 38731531 PMCID: PMC11085741 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29092040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Actinomycetes have long been recognized as an important source of antibacterial natural products. In recent years, actinomycetes in extreme environments have become one of the main research directions. Streptomyces sp. KN37 was isolated from the cold region of Kanas in Xinjiang. It demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity, but the primary active compounds remained unclear. Therefore, we aimed to combine genomics with traditional isolation methods to obtain bioactive compounds from the strain KN37. Whole-genome sequencing and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that KN37 possesses the potential for synthesizing secondary metabolites, and 41 biosynthetic gene clusters were predicted, some of which showed high similarity to known gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of antimicrobial antibiotics. The traditional isolation methods and activity-guided fractionation were employed to isolate and purify seven compounds with strong bioactivity from the fermentation broth of the strain KN37. These compounds were identified as 4-(Diethylamino)salicylaldehyde (1), 4-Nitrosodiphenylamine (2), N-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)formamide (3), 4-Nitrocatechol (4), Methylsuccinic acid (5), Phenyllactic acid (6) and 5,6-Dimethylbenzimidazole (7). Moreover, 4-(Diethylamino)salicylaldehyde exhibited the most potent inhibitory effect against Rhizoctonia solani, with an EC50 value of 14.487 mg/L, while 4-Nitrosodiphenylamine showed great antibacterial activity against Erwinia amylovora, with an EC50 value of 5.715 mg/L. This study successfully isolated several highly active antimicrobial compounds from the metabolites of the strain KN37, which could contribute as scaffolds for subsequent chemical synthesis. On the other hand, the newly predicted antibiotic-like substances have not yet been isolated, but they still hold significant research value. They are instructive in the study of active natural product biosynthetic pathways, activation of silent gene clusters, and engineering bacteria construction.

Abstract
During the course of isolating novel actinobacteria producing bioactive metabolites, strain BG9HT was obtained from an arid soil sample in Erzurum, Turkey. Pairwise sequence comparisons for 16S rRNA gene sequences showed the strain was a member of the genus Streptomyces and it shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 99.7% with Streptomyces huasconensis HST28T. Comparative genome analyses based on digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity revealed that strain BG9HT represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces. The polyphasic analysis also confirmed that the strain has typical characteristics of the genus Streptomyces. The strain has LL-diaminopimelic acid as diagnostic amino acid, and galactose, mannose and trace amounts of glucose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, unidentified aminolipids, phospholipids and lipids. Major isoprenoid quinones were MK-9(H6), MK-9(H4), and MK-9(H8). Its genome size is approximately 7.2 Mb with 71.2% G+C content. The methanolic extract of strain BG9HT showed antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Further genomic analyses of strain BG9HT confirmed its high potential to produce novel secondary metabolites. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain BG9HT represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which Streptomyces anatolicus sp. nov. is proposed, and it holds high promise for novel biosynthetic metabolites of value to the biopharmaceutical industry. We also propose Streptomyces nashvillensis as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces tanashiensis as a result obtained through analysis of overall genome relatedness indices.

Abstract
Actinomycetia are known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive secondary metabolites having significant therapeutic importance. This study aimed to explore the potential of actinomycetia as a source of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) clinical pathogens. A total of 65 actinomycetia were isolated from two unexplored forest ecosystems, namely the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary (PWS) and the Deepor Beel Wildlife Sanctuary (DBWS), located in the Indo-Burma mega-biodiversity hotspots of northeast India, out of which 19 isolates exhibited significant antimicrobial activity. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of the 19 potent actinomycetia isolates. The results reveal that the most dominant genus among the isolates was Streptomyces (84.21%), followed by rare actinomycetia genera such as Nocardia, Actinomadura, and Nonomuraea. Furthermore, seventeen of the isolates tested positive for at least one antibiotic biosynthetic gene, specifically type II polyketide synthase (PKS-II) and nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). These genes are associated with the production of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties. Among the isolated strains, three actinomycetia strains, namely Streptomyces sp. PBR1, Streptomyces sp. PBR36, and Streptomyces sp. DBR11, demonstrated the most potent antimicrobial activity against seven test pathogens. This was determined through in vitro antimicrobial bioassays and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of ethyl acetate extracts. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of the three strains revealed a diverse group of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs), respectively, indicating their high therapeutic potential. These findings highlight the potential of these microorganisms to serve as a valuable resource for the discovery and development of novel antibiotics and other therapeutics with high therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The phylum Actinobacteria includes important human pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium diphtheriae and renowned producers of secondary metabolites of commercial interest, yet only a small part of its diversity is represented by sequenced genomes. Here, we present 824 actinobacterial isolate genomes in the context of a phylum-wide analysis of 6,700 genomes including public isolates and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). We estimate that only 30%-50% of projected actinobacterial phylogenetic diversity possesses genomic representation via isolates and MAGs. A comparison of gene functions reveals novel determinants of host-microbe interaction as well as environment-specific adaptations such as potential antimicrobial peptides. We identify plasmids and prophages across isolates and uncover extensive prophage diversity structured mainly by host taxonomy. Analysis of >80,000 biosynthetic gene clusters reveals that horizontal gene transfer and gene loss shape secondary metabolite repertoire across taxa. Our observations illustrate the essential role of and need for high-quality isolate genome sequences.

Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze) is a long-duration monoculture crop prone to several biotic (fungal diseases and insect pest) and abiotic (nutrient deficiency, drought, and salinity) stress that eventually result in extensive annual crop loss. The specific climatic conditions and the perennial nature of the tea crop favor growth limiting abiotic factors, numerous plant pathogenic fungi (PPF), and insect pests. The review focuses on the susceptibility of tea crops to PPF/pests, drought, salinity, and nutrient constraints and the potential role of beneficial actinobacteria in promoting tea crop health. The review also focuses on some of the major PPF associated with tea, such as Exobasidium vexans, Pestalotiopsis theae, Colletotrichum acutatum, and pests (Helopeltis theivora). The phylum actinobacteria own a remarkable place in agriculture due to the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites that assist plant growth by direct nutrient assimilation, phytohormone production, and by indirect aid in plant defense against PPF and pests. The chemical diversity and bioactive significance of actinobacterial metabolites (antibiotics, siderophore, volatile organic compounds, phytohormones) are valuable in the agro-economy. This review explores the recent history of investigations in the role of actinobacteria and its secondary metabolites as a biocontrol agent and proposes a commercial application in tea cultivation.

RO-S4 Strain Isolated From Bejaia Bay, Algeria. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:906161.

Abstract
Multi-omic approaches have recently made big strides toward the effective exploration of microorganisms, accelerating the discovery of new bioactive compounds. We combined metabolomic, molecular networking, and genomic-based approaches to investigate the metabolic potential of the Streptomyces sp. RO-S4 strain isolated from the polluted waters of Bejaia Bay in Algeria. Antagonistic assays against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with RO-S4 organic extracts showed an inhibition zone of 20 mm by using the agar diffusion method, and its minimum inhibitory concentration was 16 μg/ml. A molecular network was created using GNPS and annotated through the comparison of MS/MS spectra against several databases. The predominant compounds in the RO-S4 extract belonged to the angucycline family. Three compounds were annotated as known metabolites, while all the others were putatively new to Science. Notably, all compounds had fridamycin-like aglycones, and several of them had a lactonized D ring analogous to that of urdamycin L. The whole genome of Streptomyces RO-S4 was sequenced to identify the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) linked to these angucyclines, which yielded a draft genome of 7,497,846 bp with 72.4% G+C content. Subsequently, a genome mining analysis revealed 19 putative biosynthetic gene clusters, including a grincamycin-like BGC with high similarity to that of Streptomyces sp. CZN-748, that was previously reported to also produce mostly open fridamycin-like aglycones. As the ring-opening process leading to these compounds is still not defined, we performed a comparative analysis with other angucycline BGCs and advanced some hypotheses to explain the ring-opening and lactonization, possibly linked to the uncoupling between the activity of GcnE and GcnM homologs in the RO-S4 strain. The combination of metabolomic and genomic approaches greatly improved the interpretation of the metabolic potential of the RO-S4 strain.

Abstract
Exploration of unexplored habitats for novel actinobacteria with high bioactivity potential holds great promise in the search for novel entities. During the course of isolation of actinobacteria from desert soils, four actinobacteria, designated as 5K548T, 7K502T, 16K309T and 16K404T, were isolated from the Karakum Desert and their bioactivity potential as well as taxonomic provenances were revealed by comprehensive genome analyses. Pairwise sequence analyses of the 16S rRNA genes indicated that the four strains are representatives of putatively novel taxa within the prolific actinobacterial genus Saccharopolyspora. The strains have typical chemotaxonomic characteristics of the genus Saccharopolyspora by having meso-diaminopimelic acid as diagnostic diaminoacid, arabinose, galactose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Consistent with this assignment, all of the isolates contained phosphatidylcholine in their polar lipid profiles and MK-9(H4) as the predominant menaquinone. The sizes of the genomes of the isolates ranged from 6.0 to 10.2 Mb and the associated G + C contents from 69.6 to 69.7 %. Polyphasic characterizations including determination of overall genome relatedness indices revealed that the strains are representatives of four novel species in the genus Saccharopolyspora. Consequently, isolates 5K548T, 7K502T, 16K404T and 16K309T are proposed as novel Saccharopolyspora species for which the names of Saccharopolyspora karakumensis sp. nov., Saccharopolyspora elongata sp. nov., Saccharopolyspora aridisoli sp. nov. and Saccharopolyspora terrae sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. Comprehensive genome analysis for biosynthetic gene clusters showed that the strains have high potential for novel secondary metabolites. Moreover, the strains harbour many antimicrobial resistance genes providing more evidence for their potentiality for bioactive metabolites.

Abstract
Actinobacteria constitute prolific sources of novel and vital bioactive metabolites for pharmaceutical utilization. In recent years, research has focused on exploring actinobacteria that thrive in extreme conditions to unearth their beneficial bioactive compounds for natural product drug discovery. Natural products have a significant role in resolving public health issues such as antibiotic resistance and cancer. The breakthrough of new technologies has overcome the difficulties in sampling and culturing extremophiles, leading to the outpouring of more studies on actinobacteria from extreme environments. This review focuses on the diversity and bioactive potentials/medically relevant biomolecules of extremophilic actinobacteria found from various unique and extreme niches. Actinobacteria possess an excellent capability to produce various enzymes and secondary metabolites to combat harsh conditions. In particular, a few strains have displayed substantial antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), shedding light on the development of MRSA-sensitive antibiotics. Several strains exhibited other prominent bioactivities such as antifungal, anti-HIV, anticancer, and anti-inflammation. By providing an overview of the recently found extremophilic actinobacteria and their important metabolites, we hope to enhance the understanding of their potential for the medical world.

Abstract
Mangroves are intertidal extreme environments with rich microbial communities. Actinobacteria are well known for producing antibiotics. The search for biosynthetic potential of Actinobacteria from mangrove environments could provide more possibilities for useful secondary metabolites. In this study, whole genome sequencing and MS/MS analysis were used to explore the secondary metabolite production potential of one actinobacterial strain of Streptomyces olivaceus sp., isolated from a mangrove in Macau, China. The results showed that a total of 105 gene clusters were found in the genome of S. olivaceus sp., and 53 known secondary metabolites, including bioactive compounds, peptides, and other products, were predicted by genome mining. There were 28 secondary metabolites classified as antibiotics, which were not previously known from S. olivaceus. ISP medium 2 was then used to ferment the S. olivaceus sp. to determine which predicted secondary metabolite could be truly produced. The chemical analysis revealed that ectoine, melanin, and the antibiotic of validamycin A could be observed in the fermentation broth. This was the first observation that these three compounds can be produced by a strain of S. olivaceus. Therefore, it can be concluded that Actinobacteria isolated from the mangrove environment have unknown potential to produce bioactive secondary metabolites.

Genome sequence analysis and bioactivity profiling of marine-derived actinobacteria, Brevibacterium luteolum, and Cellulosimicrobium funkei. Arch Microbiol 2021; 203:2491-2500. [PMID: 33677635 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-021-02203-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Genome analysis gives important insights into the biosynthetic potential of marine actinobacteria. The genomes of two marine actinomycetes Brevibacterium luteolum MOSEL-ME10a and Cellulosimicrobium funkei MOSEL-ME6 were sequenced to identify the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Additionally, anti-proliferative, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibitory activities were studied in vitro. We report a total genome size of 2.77 Mb with GC content of 67.8% and 6.81 Mb with GC content of 69% for Brevibacterium sp. MOSEL-ME10a and Cellulosimicrobium sp. MOSEL-ME6, respectively. Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding different classes of natural products were predicted including terpenes, peptides, siderophores, ectoines, and bacteriocins. The bioactivity potential of crude extracts derived from these strains was evaluated. Notable anti-proliferative activity was observed against HepG2 cell line (hepatocellular carcinoma) with an IC50 value of 182 µg/mL for Brevibacterium sp. MOSEL-ME10a. Furthermore, antioxidant activity was assessed with IC50 values of 48.91 µg/mL and 102.5 µg/mL for Brevibacterium sp. MOSEL-ME10a and Cellulosimicrobium sp. MOSEL-ME6, respectively. Protein kinase inhibition potential was observed only for Brevibacterium sp. MOSEL-ME10a. Our study also reports lower amylase enzyme inhibition potential for both strains. Moreover, both crude extracts showed only slight-to-no toxic effect on erythrocytes at 400 µg/mL and below, indicating erythrocyte membrane stability. Our data present the genomic features revealing biosynthetic potential of marine actinobacteria as well as biological activities found in vitro.
