ABSTRACT: Clavulanic acid (CA) is the preferred clinical drug for the treatment of infections by β-lactam antibiotic-resistant bacteria. CA is produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus, and although there have been many reports on the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on CA production, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. In this study, we found that CA accumulation in S. clavuligerus F613-1 was increased significantly in MH medium, which is rich in organic nitrogen, compared with that in ML medium, which contains half the amount of organic nitrogen present in MH medium. Transcriptome analysis revealed that genes involved in CA biosynthesis, such as ceas1, ceas2, bls1, bls2, cas2, pah2, gcaS, and cad, and arginine biosynthesis, such as argB, argC, argD, argG, argH, argJ, and argR, were upregulated under rich organic nitrogen. Metabolome data revealed notable differences between cultures of F613-1 grown in MH and ML media with regard to levels of key intracellular metabolites, most of which are involved in arginine metabolic pathways, including arginine, glutamine, and glutamic acid. Additionally, supplementation of ML medium with arginine, glutamine, or glutamic acid resulted in increased CA production by S. clavuligerus F613-1. Our results indicate that rich organic nitrogen mainly affects CA biosynthesis by increasing the levels of amino acids associated with the arginine metabolic pathway and activating the expression of the CA biosynthetic gene cluster. These findings provide important insights for improving medium optimization and engineering of S. clavuligerus F613-1 for high-yield production of CA.
