RESUMEN
Milbemycin R, a novel spiro-heterocycle milbemycin, was obtained from the metabolites produced by the mutant strain S. bingchenggensis BCJ60B11. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses including 1 D, 2 D NMR, IR, HR-ESI-MS data. The acaricidal and nematicidal activities of milbemycin R against Tetranychus cinnabarinus and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were tested. Milbemycin R possessed better acaricidal activity than milbemycins A3/A4.

OBJECTIVES: Shellfish waste is a primary source for making N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Thus, establishing a high-efficiency and low-cost bioconversion method to produce N-acetyl-D-glucosamine directly from shellfish waste was promising. RESULTS: A mutant C81 was obtained from Chitinolyticbacter meiyuanensis SYBC-H1 via 60Co-γ irradiation. This mutant C81 showed the highest chitinase activity of 9.8 U/mL that was 85% higher than the parent strain. The mutant C81 exhibted improved antioxidant activities, including total antioxidant capacity, superoxide radical ability, and hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, compared to that of the parent strain. Four out of nine organic solvents increased the chitinase activity by 1.9%, 6.8%, 11.7%, and 15.8%, corresponding to methylbenzene, n-heptane, petroleum ether, and n-hexane, respectively. The biphase system composed of aqueous and hexane presented a five-fold reduction of cell viability compared to the control. Using a continuous fermentation bioconversion process, 4.2 g/L GlcNAc was produced from crayfish shell powder with a yield of 80% of the chitin content. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the mutant C81 is suitable for converting crayfish shell powder into GlcNAc in an aqueous-organic system.

Two new threonine-containing metabolites, N-[4-hydroxy-3-prenyl-benzoyl]-L-threonine (1) and N-[2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromene-6-carbonyl]-L-threonine (2), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the soil fungus Curvularia inaequalis strain HS-FG-257. Their structures were elucidated through the interpretation of HR-ESIMS and extensive NMR spectroscopic data. Both compounds exhibited no cytotoxic activity against the test cell lines A549 and HCT-116.

Two new milbemycin metabolites, 13α-hydroxymilbemycin ß13 (1) and 26-methyl-13α-hydroxymilbemycin ß13 (2), were isolated from the fermentation broth of a genetically engineered strain Streptomyces avermitilis AVE-H39. Their structures were determined by the comprehensive spectroscopic data, including 1 D, 2 D NMR, MS spectral analysis and the comparison with data from the literature. Compounds 1 and 2 not only exhibited potent acaricidal activities against Tetranychus cinnabarinus, but also had nematocidal activity against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.

Two new milbemycin derivatives, milbemycin M (1) and milbemycin N (2), were isolated from the culture of a genetically engineered strain Streptomyces bingchenggensis BCJ60. Their structures were elucidated through the interpretation of NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectroscopic data, as well as comparison with previous reports. The acaricidal and nematicidal activities of them against Tetranychus cinnabarinus and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were tested. The results showed that compounds 1-2 possessed potent acaricidal and nematocidal activities.

Two novel milbemycin derivatives, 5,27-epoxy-13α-hydroxy milbemycin ß11 (1) and 5,27-epoxy-13α-hydroxy-25-ethyl milbemycin ß11 (2), were isolated from the genetically engineered strain Streptomyces avermitilis AVE-H39. Their structures were elucidated through the interpretation of HR-ESIMS and extensive NMR spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate acaricidal and nematicidal activities.
