Effect of myricetin treatment on Roseovarius tolerans EL-164 during exponential and early stationary phase growth.

ABSTRACT: Discovery of cryptic natural products can be expedited by the use of high throughput elicitor screening (HiTES). In this study, we discover that catechol-containing flavonoids elicit the production of a new group of ceramide lipids in the marine bacterium Roseovarius tolerans EL-164. To investigate the mechanism of elicitation of myricetin, a model catechol flavonoid, we used RNA-seq to determine the molecular response. The transcriptomic dataset illustrated that iron-starvation genes, as well as the import and catabolism of carbon sources, specifically branched chain amino acids, were upregulated upon myricetin treatment. Simultaneously, complex IV of the electron transport chain was universally downregulated as were oxidative stress responses. Together, along with further follow up studies, we were able to support the model that myricetin reduces the bioavailability of iron and reduced oxidative phosphorylation and the proton motive force. Our data suggests that the hampering of the proton motive force is what initiates the upregulation of the ceramide lipids.
