Project description:Abstract: Transcript levels in production cultures of wildtype and classically improved strains of the actinomycete bacteria Saccharopolyspora erythraea and Streptomyces fradiae were monitored using microarrays of the sequenced actinomycete S. coelicolor. Sac. erythraea and S. fradiae synthesize the polyketide antibiotics erythromycin and tylosin, respectively, and the classically improved strains contain unknown overproduction mutations. The Sac. erythraea overproducer was found to express the entire 56-kb erythromycin gene cluster several days longer than the wildtype strain. In contrast, the S. fradiae wildtype and overproducer strains expressed the 85-kb tylosin biosynthetic gene cluster similarly, while they expressed several tens of other S. fradiae genes and S. coelicolor homologs differently, including the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene aco and the S. coelicolor isobutyryl-CoA mutase homolog icmA. These observations indicated that overproduction mechanisms in classically improved strains can affect both the timing and rate of antibiotic synthesis, and alter the regulation of antibiotic biosynthetic enzymes and enzymes involved in precursor metabolism. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
Project description:An actinomycete, Streptomyces sp. PSRA5 was isolated from Panax sokpayensis, a medicinal plant of the Sikkim Himalayas. It was found to have antimicrobial activity against multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The crude extract of the actinomycete was extracted and analysed.

Project description:>1000 raw files from actinomycete extracts. ISP2, DNPM, and FPY12 media were used to grow every strain (approximately 100 strains) and triplicates for every treatment. This dataset was used to build and test UmetaFlow, an untargeted metabolomics computational workflow for high-throughput processing and analysis. Not all data were deposited because of confidentiality. Preprint connected to data DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2022-z0t4g
