Molecular Network and Culture Media Variation Reveal a Complex Metabolic Profile in Pantoea cf. eucrina D2 Associated with an Acidified Marine Sponge.

ABSTRACT: The Gram-negative Pantoea eucrina D2 was isolated from the marine sponge Chondrosia reniformis. Sponges were collected in a shallow volcanic vents system in Ischia island (South Italy), influenced by CO2 emissions and lowered pH. The chemical diversity of the secondary metabolites produced by this strain, under different culture conditions, was explored by a combined approach including molecular networking, pure compound isolation and NMR spectroscopy. The metabolome of Pantoea cf. eucrina D2 yielded a very complex molecular network, allowing the annotation of several metabolites, among them two biosurfactant clusters: lipoamino acids and surfactins. The production of each class of metabolites was highly dependent on the culture conditions, in particular, the production of unusual surfactins derivatives was reported for the first time from this genus; interestingly the production of these metabolites only arises by utilizing inorganic nitrogen as a sole nitrogen source. Major components of the extract obtained under standard medium culture conditions were isolated and identified as N-lipoamino acids by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HRESI-MS analysis. Assessment of the antimicrobial activity of the pure compounds towards some human pathogens, indicated a moderate activity of leucine containing N-lipoamino acids towards Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and a clinical isolate of the emerging food pathogen Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:Geodia barretti is a deep-sea marine sponge common in the north Atlantic and waters outside of Norway and Sweden. The sampling and subsequent treatment as well as storage of sponges for metabolomics analyses can be performed in different ways, the most commonly used being freezing (directly upon collection or later) or by storage in solvent, commonly ethanol, followed by freeze-drying. In this study we therefore investigated different sampling protocols and their effects on the detected metabolite profiles in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) using an untargeted metabolomics approach. Sponges (G. barretti) were collected outside the Swedish west coast and pieces from three sponge specimens were either flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, frozen later after the collection cruise, stored in ethanol or stored in methanol. The storage solvents as well as the actual sponge pieces were analyzed, all samples were analyzed with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography as well as reversed phase liquid chromatography with high resolution mass spectrometry using full-scan in positive and negative ionization mode. The data were evaluated using multivariate data analysis. The highest metabolite intensities were found in the frozen samples (flash frozen and frozen after sampling cruise) as well as in the storage solvents (methanol and ethanol). Metabolites extracted from the sponge pieces that had been stored in solvent were found in very low intensity, since the majority of metabolites were extracted to the solvents to a high degree. The exception being larger peptides and some lipids. The lowest variation between replicates were found in the flash frozen samples. In conclusion, the preferred method for sampling of sponges for metabolomics was found to be immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen. However, freezing the sponge samples after some time proved to be a reliable method as well, albeit with higher variation between the replicates. The study highlights the importance of saving ethanol extracts after preservation of specimens for biology studies; these valuable extracts could be further used in studies of natural products, chemosystematics or metabolomics.
