Project description:To investigate the function of organic nitrogen on clavulanic acid biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus, we established F613-1 strain cells cultured in MH fermentation medium and ML fermentation medium. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 2 different medium at three time points.
Project description:This study compared the genome of Streptomyces rimosus rimosus against that of Streptomyces coelicolor. It also compared 4 strains with changes in oxytetracycline production and derived from G7, the type strain, against G7. Keywords: Comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of extracellular culture medium of Streptomyces AGN23, a strain inducing disease resistance in plants, on the Arabidopsis transcriptome.
Project description:Activating the cryptic secondary metabolic gene clusters is a vital research field in Streptomyces. The marine Streptomyces sp. FJNU027 strain which could produce tirandamycins was cultured in the oligotrophic medium. Compared with normal medium, a differential product in oligotrophic culture was found by HPLC assay. After mass fermentation, 2 mg of the differential product was obtained from 30 L fermentation broth by solvent extraction, column chromatography over sephadex LH-20 and reverse phase C18, and other methods. It was identified as 4,4',5,5'-tetramethyl-[1,1'- diphenyl]-2,2'-diol by NMR and MS data. The production of this compound was enhanced with the increment of cultural time. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that the highest upregulated genes under oligotrophic condition were glycosidase, TraR/DksA C4-type zinc finger protein and ribonuclease encoding genes, while the expression of a MarR family transcriptional regulator was most significantly decreased under oligotrophic condition. The results indicate that oligotrophic culture is an effective method for altering the secondary metabolism of Streptomyces.
Project description:We identified genome-wide binding regions of NdgR in Streptomyces coelicolor using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). We constructed 6×myc-tagged NdgR strain using homologous recombination with myc-tagging vector. Analysis of the sequencing data aligned to Streptomyces coelicolor genome database (NC_003888).
Project description:Ribosome profiling analysis of wild type prototrophic Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) MT1110 strain to examine global translational vs transcriptional profile change when exposed to cold shock from 30°C to 10°C in minimal liquid medium.
Project description:Chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer present in soils and is utilized by antibiotic-producing Streptomyces species. Its monomer, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), regulates the developmental program of the model organism Streptomyces coelicolor. NAG blocks differentiation when growing on rich medium whilst it promotes development on poor culture media. We report here the negative effect of NAG on tacrolimus (FK506) production in Streptomyces tsukubaensis NRRL 18488 growing on a defined rich medium. Using microarrays technology, we found that GlcNAc represses the transcription of fkbN, encoding the main transcriptional activator of the tacrolimus biosynthetic cluster, and of ppt1, encoding a phosphopantheteinyltransferase involved in tacrolimus biosynthesis. On the contrary, NAG stimulated transcription of genes related to amino acid and nucleotide biosynthesis, DNA replication, RNA translation, glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, and key gene members of the PHO regulon. The results obtained support those previously reported for S. coelicolor, but some important differences were observed
Project description:This study aimed to characterize the non-targeted metabolite profile of Streptomyces sp. LZZY-S40 to explore its potential for producing bioactive secondary metabolites. The strain LZZY-S40 was cultivated on ISP 3 agar plates at 28°C for 7 days. Spores were harvested and inoculated into 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 50 mL of seed medium (pH 7.2–7.4) for 48 hours at 28°C with shaking at 250 rpm. The seed culture (8% v/v) was then transferred into fermentation medium and incubated under the same conditions for 7 days. After fermentation, the culture broth was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the supernatant from the mycelial biomass. The supernatant was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the mycelial pellet was extracted with methanol. Organic extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure at temperatures below 40°C. The combined crude extracts were analyzed by untargeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). Data were acquired in both positive and negative ionization modes across an m/z range of 50-1200, with chromatographic separation achieved using a gradient elution program at a flow rate of 400 μL/min and a column temperature of 40°C.
