Genome-guided and mass spectrometry investigation of natural products produced by a potential new actinobacterial strain isolated from a mangrove ecosystem in Futian, Shenzhen, China.

ABSTRACT: Actinobacteria, a group of gram-positive bacteria, can produce plenty of valuable bioactive secondary metabolites, especially antibiotics. Hence, in order to search for new actinobacteria, actinobacterial isolates were obtained from rhizosphere soil collected from the Futian mangrove ecosystem in Shenzhen, China. According to 16S rRNA sequences, 14 actinobacterial strains of the genus Streptomyces, Rhodococcus, Microbacterium, Micromonospora, Actinoplanes and Mycobacterium were isolated and identified. Among these, strain Mycobacterium sp.13 was described as a potential new species belonging to the genus Mycobacterium within the class of actinobacteria according to the genomic analysis. The genome-based 16S rRNA sequences had 98.48% sequence similarity with Mycobacterium moriokaense DSM 44221T. Meanwhile, the genome sequences of Mycobacterium sp.13 showed an average nucleotide identity (ANI) with the Mycobacterium mageritense DSM 44476, Mycobacterium smegmatis MKD8 and Mycobacterium goodii strain X7B of only 74.79%, 76.12% and 76.42%, respectively. Furthermore, genome-mining results showed that Mycobacterium sp.13 contained 105 gene clusters encoding to the secondary metabolite biosynthesis, where many kinds of terpene, bacteriocin, T1pks, Nrps, saccharide, fatty acid, butyrolactone, ectoine and resorcinol were included. Finally, through LC-MS and HR-MS, analyzing the small molecules from ethyl acetate extract of this strain, asukamycin C and apramycin were for the first time found present to be in Mycobacterium moriokaense strain. Our study provides evidence in support of the potential new Mycobacterium sp.13 isolated from the mangrove environment as a possible novel source of natural products.

Project description:The quest for potent alternatives to the currently used antimicrobials is urged by health professionals, considering the rapid rise in resistance to preservatives and antibiotics among pathogens. The current study was initiated to search for novel and effective bacteriocins from food microbes, preferably lactic acid bacteria (LAB), for potential use as preservatives. Advances in genome-guided mass spectrometry (MS) were implemented to expedite identifying and elucidating the structure of the recovered antimicrobial agent. A LAB strain, OSY-TC318, was isolated from a Turkish cheese, and the crude extract of the cultured strain inhibited the growth of various pathogenic and spoilage bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Clostridium sporogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial producer was identified as Lactobacillus paraplantarum using MS biotyping and genomic analysis. Additionally, L. paraplantarum OSY-TC318 was distinguished from closely related strains using comparative genomic analysis. Based on in silico analysis, the genome of the new strain contained a complete lantibiotic biosynthetic gene cluster, encoding a novel lantibiotic that was designated as paraplantaricin TC318. The bioinformatic analysis of the gene cluster led to the prediction of the biosynthetic pathway, amino acid sequence, and theoretical molecular mass of paraplantaricin TC318. To verify the genomic analysis predictions, paraplantaricin TC318 was purified from the producer cellular crude extract using liquid chromatography, followed by structural elucidation using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance MS analysis. This genome-guided MS analysis revealed that the molecular mass of paraplantaricin TC318 is 2,263.900 Da, its chemical formula is C106H133N27O22S4, and its primary sequence is F-K-S-W-S-L-C-T-F-G-C-G-H-T-G-S-F-N-S-F-C-C. This lantibiotic, which differs from mutacin 1140 at positions 9, 12, 13, and 20, is considered a new member of the epidermin group in class I lantibiotics. In conclusion, the study revealed a new L. paraplantarum strain producing a novel lantibiotic that is potentially useful in food and medical applications.
