Genomics-inspired discovery of massiliachelin, an agrochelin epimer from Massilia sp. NR 4-1.

ABSTRACT: A putative siderophore locus was detected in the genome of the violacein-producing bacterium Massilia sp. NR 4-1 and predicted to direct the biosynthesis of a molecule that is structurally related to the thiazoline-containing siderophore micacocidin. In order to track this compound, we analyzed the metabolic profiles of Massilia cultures grown under different iron concentrations. A compound which was found to be predominantly produced under iron deficiency was subsequently isolated. Its structural characterization by spectroscopic and bioinformatic analyses revealed a previously not known diastereomer of the cytotoxic alkaloid agrochelin. The structure of this natural product, which was named massiliachelin, corresponds to the assembly line encoded by the identified siderophore locus.

Intermediates and shunt products of massiliachelin biosynthesis in Massilia sp. NR 4-1.

Project description:Siderophores are small molecules secreted by microorganisms in order to scavenge iron from the environment. An example is the thiazoline-containing natural product massiliachelin, which is produced by Massilia sp. NR 4-1 under iron-deficient conditions. Based on experimental evidence and genome analysis, it was suspected that this bacterium synthesizes further iron-chelating molecules. After a thorough inspection of its metabolic profile, six previously overlooked compounds were isolated that were active in the chrome azurol S (CAS) assay. Mass spectrometric measurements and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses identified these compounds as possible biosynthetic intermediates or shunt products of massiliachelin. Their bioactivity was tested against one Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria.

Characterisation of Waterborne Psychrophilic Massilia Isolates with Violacein Production and Description of Massilia antarctica sp. nov.

Project description:A group of seven bacterial strains producing blue-purple pigmented colonies on R2A agar was isolated from freshwater samples collected in a deglaciated part of James Ross Island and Eagle Island, Antarctica, from 2017-2019. The isolates were psychrophilic, oligotrophic, resistant to chloramphenicol, and exhibited strong hydrolytic activities. To clarify the taxonomic position of these isolates, a polyphasic taxonomic approach was applied based on sequencing of the 16S rRNA, gyrB and lepA genes, whole-genome sequencing, rep-PCR, MALDI-TOF MS, chemotaxonomy analyses and biotyping. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the entire group are representatives of the genus Massilia. The closest relatives of the reference strain P8398T were Massilia atriviolacea, Massilia violaceinigra, Massilia rubra, Massilia mucilaginosa, Massilia aquatica, Massilia frigida, Massilia glaciei and Massilia eurypsychrophila with a pairwise similarity of 98.6-100% in the 16S rRNA. The subsequent gyrB and lepA sequencing results showed the novelty of the analysed group, and the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridisation values clearly proved that P8398T represents a distinct Massilia species. After all these results, we nominate a new species with the proposed name Massilia antarctica sp. nov. The type strain is P8398T (= CCM 8941T = LMG 32108T).

Genomics- and Transcriptomics-Guided Discovery of Clavatols from Arctic Fungi Penicillium sp. MYA5.

Project description:Clavatols exhibit a wide range of biological activities due to their diverse structures. A genome mining strategy identified an A5cla cluster from Penicillium sp. MYA5, derived from the Arctic plant Dryas octopetala, is responsible for clavatol biosynthesis. Seven clavatols, including one new clavatol derivate named penicophenone F (1) and six known clavatols (2-7), were isolated from Penicillium sp. MYA5 using a transcriptome mining strategy. These structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis. Antibacterial, aldose reductase inhibition, and siderophore-producing ability assays were conducted on compounds 1-7. Compounds 1 and 2 demonstrated inhibitory effects on the ALR2 enzyme with inhibition rates of 75.3% and 71.6% at a concentration of 10 μM, respectively. Compound 6 exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with MIC values of 4.0 μg/mL and 4.0 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, compounds 1, 5, and 6 also showed potential iron-binding ability.

Bioplastic (poly-3-hydroxybutyrate)-producing Massilia endophytica sp. nov., isolated from Cannabis sativa L. 'Cheungsam'.

Project description:A rod-shaped, motile, Gram-negative bacterial strain named DM-R-R2A-13T was isolated from the plant Cannabis sativa L. 'Cheungsam'. The phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain DM-R-R2A-13T belongs to the family Oxalobacteraceae and is closely related to members of the genus Massilia, with Massilia flava (97.58% sequence similarity) and Massilia armeniaca (97.37% sequence similarity) being the closest members. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain DM-R-R2A-13T and Massilia flava CGMCC 1.10685T and Massilia armeniaca ZMN-3Twere 22.2% and 23.3%, while the average nucleotide identity (ANI) values were 78.85% and 79.63%, respectively. The DNA G+C content was measured to be 64.6 mol%. Moreover, the bacterium was found to contain polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granules based on transmission electron microscopy, indicating its potential to produce bioplastic. Genome annotation revealed the presence of PHA synthase genes (phaC, phaR, phaP, and phaZ), and the biopolymer was identified as poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Using maltose as a carbon source, the strain produced PHB of up to 58.06% of its dry cell weight. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic characteristics, it has been determined that DM-R-R2A-13T represents a novel species belonging to the genus Massilia. As such, the name Massilia endophytica sp. nov. is proposed for this newly identified species. The type strain is DM-R-R2A-13T (= KCTC 92072T = GDMCC 1.2920T).

Integrated Omics Strategy Reveals Cyclic Lipopeptides Empedopeptins from Massilia sp. YMA4 and Their Biosynthetic Pathway.

Project description:Empedopeptins-eight amino acid cyclic lipopeptides-are calcium-dependent antibiotics that act against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus by inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis. However, to date, the biosynthetic mechanism of the empedopeptins has not been well identified. Through comparative genomics and metabolomics analysis, we identified empedopeptin and its new analogs from a marine bacterium, Massilia sp. YMA4. We then unveiled the empedopeptin biosynthetic gene cluster. The core nonribosomal peptide gene null-mutant strains (ΔempC, ΔempD, and ΔempE) could not produce empedopeptin, while dioxygenase gene null-mutant strains (ΔempA and ΔempB) produced several unique empedopeptin analogs. However, the antibiotic activity of ΔempA and ΔempB was significantly reduced compared with the wild-type, demonstrating that the hydroxylated amino acid residues of empedopeptin and its analogs are important to their antibiotic activity. Furthermore, we found seven bacterial strains that could produce empedopeptin-like cyclic lipopeptides using a genome mining approach. In summary, this study demonstrated that an integrated omics strategy can facilitate the discovery of potential bioactive metabolites from microbial sources without further isolation and purification.

Genomics-Driven Discovery of Benzoxazole Alkaloids from the Marine-Derived Micromonospora sp. SCSIO 07395.

Project description:Benzoxazole alkaloids exhibit a diverse array of structures and interesting biological activities. Herein we report the identification of a benzoxazole alkaloid-encoding biosynthetic gene cluster (mich BGC) in the marine-derived actinomycete Micromonospora sp. SCSIO 07395 and the heterologous expression of this BGC in Streptomyces albus. This approach led to the discovery of five new benzoxazole alkaloids microechmycin A-E (1-5), and a previously synthesized compound 6. Their structures were elucidated by HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR data. Microechmycin A (1) showed moderate antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus SCSIO ML01 with the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 8 μg mL-1.

Symbiosis-inspired approaches to antibiotic discovery.

Project description:Covering: 2010 up to 2017Life on Earth is characterized by a remarkable abundance of symbiotic and highly refined relationships among life forms. Defined as any kind of close, long-term association between two organisms, symbioses can be mutualistic, commensalistic or parasitic. Historically speaking, selective pressures have shaped symbioses in which one organism (typically a bacterium or fungus) generates bioactive small molecules that impact the host (and possibly other symbionts); the symbiosis is driven fundamentally by the genetic machineries available to the small molecule producer. The human microbiome is now integral to the most recent chapter in animal-microbe symbiosis studies and plant-microbe symbioses have significantly advanced our understanding of natural products biosynthesis; this also is the case for studies of fungal-microbe symbioses. However, much less is known about microbe-microbe systems involving interspecies interactions. Microbe-derived small molecules (i.e. antibiotics and quorum sensing molecules, etc.) have been shown to regulate transcription in microbes within the same environmental niche, suggesting interspecies interactions whereas, intraspecies interactions, such as those that exploit autoinducing small molecules, also modulate gene expression based on environmental cues. We, and others, contend that symbioses provide almost unlimited opportunities for the discovery of new bioactive compounds whose activities and applications have been evolutionarily optimized. Particularly intriguing is the possibility that environmental effectors can guide laboratory expression of secondary metabolites from "orphan", or silent, biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Notably, many of the studies summarized here result from advances in "omics" technologies and highlight how symbioses have given rise to new anti-bacterial and antifungal natural products now being discovered.

Genome insight and description of antibiotic producing Massilia antibiotica sp. nov., isolated from oil-contaminated soil.

Project description:An ivory-coloured, motile, Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated TW-1T was isolated from oil-contaminated experimental soil in Kyonggi University. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed, strain TW-1T formed a lineage within the family Oxalobacteraceae and clustered as members of the genus Massilia. The closest members were M. pinisoli T33T (98.8% sequence similarity), M. putida 6NM-7T (98.6%), M. arvi THG-RS2OT (98.5%), M. phosphatilytica 12-OD1T (98.3%) and M. niastensis 5516S-1T (98.2%). The sole respiratory quinone is ubiquinone-8. The major cellular fatty acids are hexadeconic acid, cis-9, methylenehexadeconic acid, summed feature 3 and summed feature 8. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G + C content of the type strain is 66.3%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) relatedness values between strain TW-1T and closest members were below the threshold value for species demarcation. The genome size is 7,051,197 bp along with 46 contigs and 5,977 protein-coding genes. The genome showed 5 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that are responsible for different secondary metabolites. Cluster 2 showed thiopeptide BGC with no known cluster blast, indicating TW-1T might produce novel antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial assessment also showed that strain TW-1T possessed inhibitory activity against Gram-negative pathogens (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). This is the first report of the species in the genus Massilia which produces antimicrobial compounds. Based on the polyphasic study, strain TW-1T represents novel species in the genus Massilia, for which the name Massilia antibiotica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TW-1T (= KACC 21627T = NBRC 114363T).
