RESUMO

Natural products encompass a diverse range of compounds with high impact applications in consumer care, agriculture and most notably, therapeutics. However, despite the expansive chemical repertoire indicated in genomic information of microbes, only a small subset can be obtained under laboratory conditions. To increase accessible chemical space and realize Nature's full chemical potential, a multi-pronged genetic- and cultivation-based strategy has been employed to activate and upregulate natural product biosyntheses in native and heterologous strains. This data descriptor documents a characterized collection of 2,138 liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS) spectra of fermentation extracts from 54 native actinobacterial strains collected from soil and marine environments in Singapore, and their 459 activated mutants in 3 to 5 media. A total of 743 unique metabolites have been identified, with the activated mutants demonstrating an approximately 2-fold expansion in accessible chemical space over wild type strains. Interrogating this expanded chemical diversity with cheminformatic tools can provide direction for the discovery of novel natural products with desirable functional activity.

RESUMO

Natural products possess significant therapeutic potential but remain underutilized despite advances in genomics and bioinformatics. While there are approaches to activate and upregulate natural product biosynthesis in both native and heterologous microbial strains, a comprehensive strategy to elicit production of natural products as well as a generalizable and efficient method to interrogate diverse native strains collection, remains lacking. Here, we explore a flexible and robust integrase-mediated multi-pronged activation approach to reliably perturb and globally trigger antibiotics production in actinobacteria. Across 54 actinobacterial strains, our approach yielded 124 distinct activator-strain combinations which consistently outperform wild type. Our approach expands accessible metabolite space by nearly two-fold and increases selected metabolite yields by up to >200-fold, enabling discovery of Gram-negative bioactivity in tetramic acid analogs. We envision these findings as a gateway towards a more streamlined, accelerated, and scalable strategy to unlock the full potential of Nature's chemical repertoire.

RESUMO

Natural products have long been used as a source of antimicrobial agents against various microorganisms. Actinobacteria are a group of bacteria best known to produce a wide variety of bioactive secondary metabolites, including many antimicrobial agents. In this study, four actinobacterial strains found in Singapore terrestrial soil were investigated as potential sources of new antimicrobial compounds. Large-scale cultivation, chemical, and biological investigation led to the isolation of a previously undescribed tetronomycin A (1) that demonstrated inhibitory activities against both Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (i.e., MIC90 of 2-4 µM and MBC90 of 9-12 µM), and several known antimicrobial compounds, namely nonactin, monactin, dinactin, 4E-deacetylchromomycin A3, chromomycin A2, soyasaponin II, lysolipin I, tetronomycin, and naphthomevalin. Tetronomycin showed a two- to six-fold increase in antibacterial activity (i.e., MIC90 and MBC90 of 1-2 µM) as compared to tetronomycin A (1), indicating the presence of an oxy-methyl group at the C-27 position is important for antibacterial activity.

RESUMO

With the advent of rapid automated in silico identification of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), genomics presents vast opportunities to accelerate natural product (NP) discovery. However, prolific NP producers, Streptomyces, are exceptionally GC-rich (>80%) and highly repetitive within BGCs. These pose challenges in sequencing and high-quality genome assembly which are currently circumvented via intensive sequencing. Here, we outline a more cost-effective workflow using multiplex Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing with hybrid long-short read assembly algorithms to generate high quality genomes. Our protocol involves subjecting long read-derived assemblies to up to 4 rounds of polishing with short reads to yield accurate BGC predictions. We successfully sequenced and assembled 8 GC-rich Streptomyces genomes whose lengths range from 7.1 to 12.1 Mb with a median N50 of 8.2 Mb. Taxonomic analysis revealed previous misrepresentation among these strains and allowed us to propose a potentially new species, Streptomyces sydneybrenneri. Further comprehensive characterization of their biosynthetic, pan-genomic and antibiotic resistance features especially for molecules derived from type I polyketide synthase (PKS) BGCs reflected their potential as alternative NP hosts. Thus, the genome assemblies and insights presented here are envisioned to serve as gateway for the scientific community to expand their avenues in NP discovery.

RESUMO

Large scale cultivation and chemical investigation of an extract obtained from Actimonadura sp. resulted in the identification of six previously undescribed spirotetronates (pyrrolosporin B and decatromicins C-G; 7-12), along with six known congeners, namely decatromicins A-B (1-2), BE-45722B-D (3-5), and pyrrolosporin A (6). The chemical structures of compounds 1-12 were characterized via comparison with previously reported data and analysis of 1D/2D NMR and MS data. The structures of all new compounds were highly related to the spirotetronate type compounds, decatromicin and pyrrolosporin, with variations in the substituents on the pyrrole and aglycone moieties. All compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii and Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and were investigated for their cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell line A549. Of these, decatromicin B (2), BE-45722B (3), and pyrrolosporin B (7) exhibited potent antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive (MIC90 between 1-3 µM) and Gram-negative bacteria (MIC90 values ranging from 12-36 µM) with weak or no cytotoxic activity against A549 cells.

RESUMO

Thiopeptides are macrocyclic natural products with potent bioactivity. Nine new natural thiopeptides (1−9) were obtained from a Nonomuraea jiangxiensis isolated from a terrestrial soil sample collected in Singapore. Even though some of these compounds were previously synthesized or isolated from engineered strains, herein we report the unprecedented isolation of these thiopeptides from a native Nonomuraea jiangxiensis. A comparison with the literature and a detailed analysis of the NMR and HRMS of compounds 1−9 was conducted to assign their chemical structures. The structures of all new compounds were highly related to the thiopeptide antibiotics GE2270, with variations in the substituents on the thiazole and amino acid moieties. Thiopeptides 1−9 exhibited a potent antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus with MIC90 values ranging from 2 µM to 11 µM. In addition, all compounds were investigated for their cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell line A549, none of the compounds were cytotoxic.
