Triaging of Culture Conditions for Enhanced Secondary Metabolite Diversity from Different Bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Over the past decade, the one strain many compounds (OSMAC) approach has been established for the activation of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), which mainly encode the enzymes of secondary metabolite (SM) biosynthesis pathways. These BGCs were successfully activated by altering various culture conditions, such as aeration rate, temperature, and nutrient composition. Here, we determined the biosynthetic potential of 43 bacteria using the genome mining tool antiSMASH. Based on the number of BGCs, biological safety, availability of deposited cultures, and literature coverage, we selected five promising candidates: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM7, Corallococcus coralloides DSM2259, Pyxidicoccus fallax HKI727, Rhodococcus jostii DSM44719, and Streptomyces grise
