Genomic and Untargeted Metabolomic Analysis of Secondary Metabolites in the Streptomyces griseoaurantiacus Strain MH191 Shows Media-Based Dependency for the Production of Bioactive Compounds with Potential Antifungal Activity.

ABSTRACT: Streptomyces species can form beneficial relationships with hosts as endophytes, including the phytopathogen-inhibiting strain, Streptomyces griseoaurantiacusMH191, isolated from wheat plants. Using genomic characterization and untargeted metabolomics, we explored the capacity of strain MH191 to inhibit a range of fungal phytopathogens through the production of secondary metabolites. Complete genome assembly of strain MH191 predicted 24 biosynthetic gene clusters. Secondary metabolite production was assessed following culture on six different media, with the detection of 205 putative compounds. Members of the manumycin family, undecylprodigiosin, and desferrioxamine were identified as the predominant metabolites. Antifungal activity was validated for undecylprodigiosin and ma
