    Streptocollin, a Type IV Lanthipeptide Produced by Streptomyces collinus Tü 365 (2015)
    Wiley
    In:  ChemBioChem, 16 (18). pp. 2615-2623.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-20
    Description: Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified microbial secondary metabolites. Here, we report the identification and isolation of streptocollin from Streptomyces collinus Tü 365, a new member of class IV lanthipeptides. Insertion of the constitutive ermE* promoter upstream of the lanthipeptide synthetase gene stcL resulted in peptide production. The streptocollin gene cluster was heterologously expressed in S. coelicolor M1146 and M1152 with 3.5- and 5.5-fold increased yields, respectively. The structure and ring topology of streptocollin were determined by high resolution MS/MS analysis. Streptocollin contains four macrocyclic rings, with one lanthionine and three methyllanthionine residues. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of a class IV lanthipeptide in preparative amounts, and on the successful heterologous expression of a class IV lanthipeptide gene cluster.

    Synthesis and Cytotoxic Activity of a Small Naphthoquinone Library: First Synthesis of Juglonbutin (2014)
    Wiley
    In:  European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 (24). pp. 5318-5330.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-20
    Description: A synthetic protocol has been designed to synthesize grecoketidone (2k), 5-hydroxylapachol (2g), and the recently discovered natural products juglonbutin (2o) and its derivatives, leading to a small library of different 1,4-naphthoquinones with the intention of finding new active compounds. Within our collection, 2-O-alkylated naphthoquinones with an ester functionality in the side-chain and a free OH group at C-5 showed the best activities. Compounds 2f, 2m, and 2n showed GI50 values against 12 tumor cell lines in the lower micromolar range and juglonbutin (2o) showed remarkably efficient inhibition of the glycogen synthase kinase 3β with an IC50 value of 2.03 μM. Furthermore, studies on the mode of action of the most active cytotoxic compounds have been carried out. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of juglonbutin (2o) and its biological activity.

    Bacterial isolates from the bryozoan Membranipora membranacea: influence of culture media on isolation and antimicrobioal activity (2012)
    Spanish Society for Microbiology (SEM)
    In:  International Microbiology, 15 (1). pp. 17-32.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-05-30
    Description: From specimens of the bryozoan Membranipora membranacea collected in the Baltic Sea, bacteria were isolated on four different media, which significantly increased the diversity of the isolated groups. All isolates were classifiedaccording to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and tested for antimicrobial properties using a panel of five indicator strainsand six different media. Each medium featured a unique set of isolated phylotypes, and a phylogenetically diverse collection of isolates was obtained. A total of 96 isolates were assigned to 49 phylotypes and 29 genera. Only one-third of the members of these genera had been isolated previously from comparable sources. The isolates were affiliated with Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria, Bacilli, and Actinobacteria. A comparable large portion of up to 22 isolates, i.e., 15 phylotypes, probably represent new species. Likewise, 47 isolates (approximately 50%) displayed antibiotic activities, mostly against grampositive indicator strains. Of the active strains, 63.8 % had antibiotic traits only on one or two of the growth media, whereas only 12.7 % inhibited growth on five or all six media. The application of six different media for antimicrobial testing resulted in twice the number of positive hits as obtained with only a single medium. The use of different media for the isolation of bacteria as well as the variation of media considered suitable for the production of antibiotic substances significantly enhanced both the number of isolates obtained and the proportion of antibiotic active cultures. Thus the approach described herein offers an improved strategy in the search for new antibiotic compounds

    Spatial distribution of sponge-associated bacteria in the Mediterranean sponge Tethya aurantium (2007)
    Wiley
    In:  FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 59 (1). pp. 47-63.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The local distribution of the bacterial community associated with the marine sponge Tethya aurantium Pallas 1766 was studied. Distinct bacterial communities were found to inhabit the endosome and cortex. Clear differences in the associated bacterial populations were demonstrated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and analysis of 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. Specifically associated phylotypes were identified for both regions: a new phylotype of Flexibacteria was recovered only from the sponge cortex, while Synechococcus species were present mainly in the sponge endosome. Light conduction via radiate spicule bundles conceivably facilitates the unusual association of Cyanobacteria with the sponge endosome. Furthermore, a new monophyletic cluster of sponge-derived 16S rRNA gene sequences related to the Betaproteobacteria was identified using analysis of 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. Members of this cluster were specifically associated with both cortex and endosome of T. aurantium.

    Pigments accumulation via light and oxygen in Rhodobacter capsulatus strain XJ-1 isolated from saline soil (2014)
    Wiley
    In:  Journal of Basic Microbiology, 54 (8). pp. 828-834.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-07-03
    Description: A Rhodobacter capsulatus strain, designated XJ-1, isolated from saline soil, accumulated almost only one kind of bacteriochlorophyll a anaerobically in the light, aerobically in the light and dark, and the relative contents of the bacteriochlorophyll a were 44.61, 74.89, and 77.53% of the total pigments, respectively. A new purple pigment appeared only in aerobic-light grown cells, exhibited absorption maxima at 355, 389, 520, 621, and 755 nm, especially distinctly unusual peak at 621 nm, whereas vanished in anaerobic-light and in aerobic-dark culture. Spheroidene and OH–spheroidene predominated in anaerobic phototrophic cultures. Spheroidenone was the sole carotenoid when exposed to both light and oxygen. The second keto-carotenoids, OH–spheroidenone, presented only in aerobic-dark culture in addition to spheroidenone. Strain XJ-1 would be a good model organism for the further illustration of the regulation of bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis gene expression in response to unique habitat.

    Engyodontochones, Antibiotic Polyketides from the Marine FungusEngyodontium albumStrain LF069 (2016)
    Wiley
    In:  Chemistry - a European Journal, 22 (22). pp. 7452-7462.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-02-01
    Description: Six new (2, 4–8) and two known polyketides with a basic structure of an anthraquinone-xanthone were isolated from mycelia and culture broth of the fungus Engyodontium album strain LF069. The structures and relative configurations of these compounds were established by spectroscopic means, and their absolute configurations were defined mainly by comparison of quantum chemical TDDFT calculated and experimental ECD spectra. Compounds 2 and 4–8 were given the trivial names engyodontochone A (2) and B–F (4–8). Compounds 5–8 represent the first example of a 23,28 seco-beticolin carbon skeleton. The relative and absolute configurations of two known substances JBIR-97/98 (1) and JBIR-99 (3) were determined for the first time. All isolated compounds were subjected to bioactivity assays. Compounds 1–4 exhibited inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that was 10-fold stronger than chloramphenicol.

    Molecular analysis of the distribution and phylogeny of the soxB gene among sulfur-oxidizing bacteria - evolution of the Sox sulfur-oxidizing enzyme system (2007)
    Wiley
    In:  Environmental Microbiology, 9 (12). pp. 2957-2977.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The soxB gene encodes the SoxB component of the periplasmic thiosulfate-oxidizing Sox enzyme complex, which has been proposed to be widespread among the various phylogenetic groups of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) that convert thiosulfate to sulfate with and without the formation of sulfur globules as intermediate. Indeed, the comprehensive genetic and genomic analyses presented in the present study identified the soxB gene in 121 phylogenetically and physiologically divergent SOB, including several species for which thiosulfate utilization has not been reported yet. In first support of the previously postulated general involvement of components of the Sox enzyme complex in the thiosulfate oxidation process of sulfur-storing SOB, the soxB gene was detected in all investigated photo- and chemotrophic species that form sulfur globules during thiosulfate oxidation (Chromatiaceae, Chlorobiaceae, Ectothiorhodospiraceae, Thiothrix, Beggiatoa, Thiobacillus, invertebrate symbionts and free-living relatives). The SoxB phylogeny reflected the major 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic lineages of the investigated SOB, although topological discrepancies indicated several events of lateral soxB gene transfer among the SOB, e.g. its independent acquisition by the anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic lineages from different chemotrophic donor lineages. A putative scenario for the proteobacterial origin and evolution of the Sox enzyme system in SOB is presented considering the phylogenetic, genomic (sox gene cluster composition) and geochemical data.

    Communities of green sulfur bacteria in marine and saline habitats analyzed by gene sequences of 16S rRNA and Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein (2006)
    Spanish Society for Microbiology (SEM)
    In:  International Microbiology, 9 (4). pp. 259-266.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-05-30
    Description: Communities of green sulfur bacteria were studied in selected marine and saline habitats on the basis of gene sequences of 16S rRNA and the Fenna- Matthews-Olson (FMO) protein. The availability of group-specific primers for both 16S rDNA and the fmoA gene, which is unique to green sulfur bacteria, has, for the first time, made it possible to analyze environmental communities of these bacteria by culture-independent methods using two independent genetic markers. Sequence results obtained with fmoA genes and with 16S rDNA were largely congruent to each other. All of the 16S rDNA and fmoA sequences from habitats of the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, Sippewissett Salt Marsh (Massachusetts, USA), and Bad Water (Death Valley, California, USA) were found within salt-dependent phylogenetic lines of green sulfur bacteria established by pure culture studies. This strongly supports the existence of phylogenetic lineages of green sulfur bacteria specifically adapted to marine and saline environments and the exclusive occurrence of these bacteria in marine and saline habitats. The great majority of clone sequences belonged to different clusters of the Prosthecochloris genus and probably represent different species. Evidence for the occurrence of two new species of Prosthecochloris was also obtained. Different habitats were dominated by representatives from the Prosthecochloris group and different clusters or species of this genus were found either exclusively or as the clearly dominant green sulfur bacterium at different habitats
