Abstract
Atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) is an emerging artificial mutagenesis breeding technology. In comparison to traditional physical and chemical methods, ARTP technology can induce DNA damage more effectively and obtain mutation strains with stable heredity more easily after screening. It possesses advantages such as simplicity, safety, non-toxicity, and cost-effectiveness, showing high application value in microbial breeding. This article focuses on ARTP mutagenesis breeding of actinomycetes, specifically highlighting the application of ARTP mutagenesis technology in improving the performance of strains and enhancing the biosynthetic capabilities of actinomycetes. We analyzed the advantages and challenges of ARTP technology in actinomycetes breeding and summarized the common features, specific mutation sites and metabolic pathways of ARTP mutagenic strains, which could give guidance for genetic modification. It suggested that the future research work should focus on the establishment of high throughput rapid screening methods and integrate transcriptomics, proteomics, metabonomics and other omics to delve into the genetic regulations and synthetic mechanisms of the bioactive substances in ARTP mutated actinomycetes. This article aims to provide new perspectives for actinomycetes breeding through the establishment and application of ARTP mutagenesis technology, thereby promoting source innovation and the sustainable industrial development of actinomycetes.

Abstract
ε-Poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) is an amino acid homopolymer with diverse potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. To improve its biomanufacturing efficiency, strain engineering and bioprocess optimization were combined in this study. Firstly, a cocktail strain breeding strategy was employed to generate a ε-PL high-production mutant, Streptomyces albulus GS114, with enhanced L-lysine uptake capability. Subsequently, the L-lysine feeding conditions during fed-batch fermentation were systematically optimized to improve the L-lysine supply, resulting in ε-PL production reaching 73.1 ± 1.4 g/L in 5 L bioreactor. Finally, an engineered strain, S. albulus L2, with enhanced uptake capability and polymerization ability of L-lysine was constructed, achieving ε-PL production of 81.4 ± 5.2 g/L by fed-batch fermentation. This represents the highest reported production of ε-PL to date. This study provided an efficient production strategy for ε-PL and valuable insights into the high-value utilization of L-lysine.

Abstract
Fungal polysaccharides have attracted wide attention because of their medical pharmaceutical and health care value. So far, many efforts have been made in strain improvement to produce polysaccharides on a large scale at low cost. Here, a novel cold plasma-induced strain improvement technology was employed to pretreat Pleurotus ostreatus CGMCC 5.374 by radio-frequency (RF) low-vacuum cold plasma (LVCP) for the purpose of obtaining a high-yield polysaccharide strain. The optimum pretreatment conditions including discharge power, treatment time, and working pressure were determined by single factor and orthogonal experiment in succession. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis was conducted to study the effects of RF-LVCP on cell metabolism and proliferation. Results showed that under the optimal condition of discharge power of 130 W, treatment time of 25 s and working pressure of 140 Pa, polysaccharide content in mycelium was increased by 3.16% after 6 days in comparison to the original strain. Transcriptome analysis showed that RF-LVCP is helpful for specific gene transcription profiles, Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathways, of which the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly involve with the up-regulation of polysaccharide transport, physiology, synthesis and metabolism, as well as the down-regulation of polysaccharide hydrolysis and macromolecular degradation.

Abstract
At present, atmospheric and room-temperature plasma (ARTP) is regarded as a new and powerful mutagenesis technology with the advantages of environment-friendliness, operation under mild conditions, and fast mutagenesis speed. Compared with traditional mutagenesis strategies, ARTP is used mainly to change the structure of microbial DNA, enzymes, and proteins through a series of physical, chemical, and electromagnetic effects with the organisms, leading to nucleotide breakage, conversion or inversion, causing various DNA damages, so as to screen out the microbial mutants with better biological characteristics. As a result, in recent years, ARTP mutagenesis and the combination of ARTP with traditional mutagenesis have been widely used in microbiology, showing great potential for application. In this review, the recent progress of ARTP mutagenesis in different application fields and bottlenecks of this technology are systematically summarized, with a view to providing a theoretical basis and technical support for better application. Finally, the outlook of ARTP mutagenesis is presented, and we identify the challenges in the field of microbial mutagenesis by ARTP.

Abstract
To enhance the ribonucleic acid (RNA) productivity for industrial applications, this study employed strain screening and medium optimization to improve the content of RNA in Cyberlindnera jadinii. A rapid screening method, combining atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutagenesis, 48-deep-well plates fermentation, and microplate reader detection, was developed. A mutant strain named WB15 with high RNA content was successfully obtained, exhibiting the RNA content of 156 ± 4.5 mg/g DCW, 1.4 times of the starting strain CCTCC AY 92020. Furthermore, Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology were employed to identify three significant factors (yeast extract, soybean peptone, and KH2PO4) affecting the RNA content. By utilizing the optimal medium composed of 13.43 g/L yeast extract, 12.12 g/L soybean peptone and 2.78 g/L KH2PO4, the RNA content of WB15 further increased to 184 ± 4.9 mg/g DCW. Additionally, the mutant strain WB15 exhibited a greater cellular width compared to AY 92020, along with increased growth rate and single-cell RNA content by 22% and 48.9%, respectively. Perturbations in ribosome assembly, specifically a reduction in the ratio of ribosomal proteins to ribosomal RNA of the large subunit, might indirectly contribute to the higher RNA content in the WB15 strain. Overall, the combination of rapid screening with fermentation medium optimization proved to be an effective approach for improving the RNA content of C. jadinii, thus facilitating the industrial production of RNA.

Abstract
AIMS We evaluated whether the randomness of mutation breeding can be regulated through a double-reporter system. We hope that by establishing a new precursor feeding strategy, the production capacity of industrial microorganisms after pilot scale-up can be further improved. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the industrial strain Streptomyces roseosporus L2796 was used as the starter strain for daptomycin production, and a double-reporter system with the kanamycin resistance gene Neo and the chromogenic gene gusA was constructed to screen for high-yield strain L2201 through atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP). Furthermore, the composition of the culture medium and the parameters of precursor replenishment were optimized, resulting in a significant enhancement of the daptomycin yield of the mutant strain L2201(752.67 mg/l). CONCLUSIONS This study successfully screened a high-yield strain of daptomycin through a double-reporter system combined with ARTP mutation. The expression level of two reporter genes can evaluate the strength of dptEp promoter, which can stimulate the expression level of dptE in the biosynthesis of daptomycin, thus producing more daptomycin. The developed multi-stage feeding rate strategy provides a novel way to increase daptomycin in industrial fermentation.

Abstract
Brevibacillus sp. SPR20 produced potentially antibacterial substances against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The synthesis of these substances is controlled by their biosynthetic gene clusters. Several mutagenesis methods are used to overcome the restriction of gene regulations when genetic information is absent. Atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) is a powerful technique to initiate random mutagenesis for microbial strain improvement. This study utilized an argon-based ARTP to conduct the mutations on SPR20. The positive mutants of 40% occurred. The M27 mutant exhibited an increase in anti-MRSA activity when compared to the wild-type strain, with the MIC values of 250-500 and 500 μg/mL, respectively. M27 had genetic stability because it exhibited constant activity throughout fifteen generations. This mutant had similar morphology and antibiotic susceptibility to the wild type. Comparative proteomic analysis identified some specific proteins that were upregulated in M27. These proteins were involved in the metabolism of amino acids, cell structure and movement, and catalytic enzymes. These might result in the enhancement of the anti-MRSA activity of the ARTP-treated SPR20 mutant. This study supports the ARTP technology designed to increase the production of valuable antibacterial agents.

Abstract
In this study, we employed a reporter-guided mutation selection (RGMS) strategy to improve the rimocidin production of Streptomyces rimosus M527, which is based on a single-reporter plasmid pAN and atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP). In plasmid pAN, PrimA, a native promoter of the loading module of rimocidin biosynthesis (RimA) was chosen as a target, and the kanamycin resistance gene (neo) under the control of PrimA was chosen as the reporter gene. The integrative plasmid pAN was introduced into the chromosome of S. rimosus M527 by conjugation to yield the initial strain S. rimosus M527-pAN. Subsequently, mutants of M527-pAN were generated by ARTP. 79 mutants were obtained in total, of which 67 mutants showed a higher level of kanamycin resistance (Kanr) than that of the initial strain M527-pAN. The majority of mutants exhibited a slight increase in rimocidin production compared with M527-pAN. Notably, 3 mutants, M527-pAN-S34, S38, and S52, which exhibited highest kanamycin resistance among all Kanr mutants, showed 34%, 52%, and 45% increase in rimocidin production compared with M527-pAN, respectively. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that the transcriptional levels of neo and rim genes were increased in mutants M527-pAN-S34, S38, and S52 compared with M527-pAN. These results confirmed that the RGMS approach was successful in improving the rimocidin production in S. rimosus M527.

Abstract
Neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial resistance, is widely used in pharmaceutical and agricultural fields. However, separation and purification of neomycin B as an active substance from Streptomyces fradiae are complicated. Although NeoN can catalyze conversion of neomycin C to neomycin B, the underlying catalytic mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the genomic information of high-yielding mutant S. fradiae SF-2 was elucidated using whole-genome sequencing. Subsequently, the mechanism of NeoN in catalyzing conversion of neomycin C to neomycin B was resolved based on NeoN-SAM-neomycin C ternary complex. Mutant NeoNV252A showed improved NeoN activity, and the recombinant strain SF-2-NeoNV252A accumulated 16,766.6 U/mL neomycin B, with a decrease in neomycin C ratio from 16.1% to 6.28%, when compared with the parental strain SF-2. In summary, this study analyzed the catalytic mechanism of NeoN, providing significant reference for rational design of NeoN to improve neomycin B production and weaken the proportion of neomycin C.

Tea Tree Oil Nanoemulsion-Based Hydrogel Vehicle for Enhancing Topical Delivery of Neomycin. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12071011.

Abstract
The present investigation aims to improve the antimicrobial influence of certain antibacterial drugs, namely, neomycin (NEO), exploiting the benefits of natural oils such as tea tree oil (TTO). Therefore, a distinctive nanolipid formulation, namely, a nanoemulsion (NE), was developed using a Central Composite Factorial Design (CCD) approach depending on the amount of TTO and tween 80 as surfactant. The optimized NEO-NE formula exhibiting minimum globular size and maximum in vitro release was selected. For efficient topical delivery, NEO-NE was incorporated into a pre-formulated hydrogel. The developed NEO-NE-hydrogel was characterized by its physical characteristics such as pH, viscosity, and spreadability. Next, it was tested for stability under different conditions for 3 months. Ultimately, an irritation test was conducted followed by an antibacterial examination. The preparation demonstrated acceptable properties to be successfully applied topically. It showed non-significant changes in stability in both conditions up to 3 months storage when compared to a fresh preparation. It exhibited no irritation when applied on hairless animal skin. Finally, TTO revealed a good inhibition for the bacterial growth that could improve the influence of NEO antibacterial activity, indicating the efficiency of NE containing NEO prepared with TTO to be a promising antibacterial nanocarrier.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:4211-4221. [PMID: 35622123 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11983-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
A high production mutated strain Bacillus thuringiensis X023PN (BtX023PN) was screened from the wild strain Bacillus thuringiensis X023 (BtX023) after atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) and nitrosoguanidine (NTG) mutation. BtX023PN grows faster than the wild strain, and its lysis of mother cell was 6 h ahead BtX023, but the ability of sporulation was significantly reduced. Bioassay indicated that compared with the wild type strain, the virulence of BtX023PN against Plutella xylostella (P. xylostella) and Mythimna seperata (M. seperata) increased to 2.33-fold and 2.13-fold respectively. qRT-PCR and SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the production of Cry1Ac increased by 61%. Resequence indicated that the mutated sites enriched on the key carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism. This study provides a new strain resource for the development of Bt insecticides and a feasible technical strategy for the breeding of Bt. KEY POINTS: • Atmospheric and room temperature plasma used in breeding of Bacillus thuringiensis. • Less stationary phase time with more ICP production. • Semi-lethal concentration against Plutella xylostella reduced by about 57.
