Metabolomic Tools for Secondary Metabolite Discovery from Marine Microbial Symbionts
Marine invertebrate-associated symbiotic bacteria produce a plethora of novel secondary metabolites which may be structurally unique with interesting pharmacological properties. Selection of strains usually relies on literature searching, genetic screening and bioactivity results, often without considering the chemical novelty and abundance of secondary metabolites being produced by the microor...
متن کاملThe antiSMASH database, a comprehensive database of microbial secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters
Secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms are the main source of bioactive compounds that are in use as antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. In the last decade, the increasing availability of microbial genomes has established genome mining as a very important method for the identification of their biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). One of the most po...
متن کاملThe in Silico Characterization of a Salicylic Acid Analogue Coding Gene Clusters in Selected Pseudomonas Fluorescens Strains
Background: The microbial genome sequences provide solid in silico framework for interpretation their drug-like chemical scaffolds biosynthetic potential. The Pseudomonas fluorescens species is metabolically versatile and producing therapeutically important natural products.Objectives: The main objective of the present study was to mine the publically available data of P. fluorescens stra...
متن کاملDoBISCUIT: a database of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters
This article introduces DoBISCUIT (Database of BIoSynthesis clusters CUrated and InTegrated, http://www.bio.nite.go.jp/pks/), a literature-based, manually curated database of gene clusters for secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Bacterial secondary metabolites often show pharmacologically important activities and can serve as lead compounds and/or candidates for drug development. Biosynthesis of...
متن کاملPhenotypic taxonomy and metabolite profiling in microbial drug discovery.
Microorganisms and in particular actinomycetes and microfungi are known to produce a vast number of bioactive secondary metabolites. For industrially important fungal genera such as Penicillium and Aspergillus the production of these compounds has been demonstrated to be very consistent at the species level. This means that direct metabolite profiling techniques such as direct injection mass sp...
