Strain-Level Diversity of Secondary Metabolism in Streptomyces albus
Streptomyces spp. are robust producers of medicinally-, industrially- and agriculturally-important small molecules. Increased resistance to antibacterial agents and the lack of new antibiotics in the pipeline have led to a renaissance in natural product discovery. This endeavor has benefited from inexpensive high quality DNA sequencing technology, which has generated more than 140 genome sequen...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Streptomyces albus Strain NBRC 13014T, the Type Species of the Genus Streptomyces
Streptomyces albus is the type species of the genus Streptomyces. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. albus strain NBRC 13014(T). The genome contains at least seven orphan polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters. The genome sequence will also serve as a valuable reference for Streptomyces taxonomy.
متن کاملActivation and identification of five clusters for secondary metabolites in Streptomyces albus J1074
Streptomyces albus J1074 is a streptomycete strain widely used as a host for expression of secondary metabolite gene clusters. Bioinformatic analysis of the genome of this organism predicts the presence of 27 gene clusters for secondary metabolites. We have used three different strategies for the activation of some of these silent/cryptic gene clusters in S. albus J1074: two hybrid polyketide-n...
متن کاملInnovative approach for improvement of an antibiotic-overproducing industrial strain of Streptomyces albus.
Working with a Streptomyces albus strain that had previously been bred to produce industrial amounts (10 mg/ml) of salinomycin, we demonstrated the efficacy of introducing drug resistance-producing mutations for further strain improvement. Mutants with enhanced salinomycin production were detected at a high incidence (7 to 12%) among spontaneous isolates resistant to streptomycin (Str(r)), gent...
متن کاملRational engineering of Streptomyces albus J1074 for the overexpression of secondary metabolite gene clusters
BACKGROUND Genome sequencing revealed that Streptomyces sp. can dedicate up to ~ 10% of their genomes for the biosynthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the majority of these biosynthetic gene clusters are only weakly expressed or not at all. Indeed, the biosynthesis of natural products is highly regulated through integrating multiple nutritional and environmental signals perceiv...
