Addition of a soil metabolite to Streptomyces avermitilis induces it to produce a cryptic metabolite

Ueda et al., J. Antibiotics, 2000

Diffusible compound from a soil organism induces another organism to generate a new antibiotic activity

Supernatant of soil organism A

(stimulating compound)

Soil organism B(antibiotic producer)

• Paper discs containing extracts from the culture broth of organism A were placed adjacent to inoculated spots of organism B

• Organism B grew for 1 – 3 days

• Soft agar containing spores of Bacillus subtilis was overlain to indicate antibiotic production

Conclusions

• Several different approaches for the identification of the products of cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters have been developed in recent years

• Several novel bioactive metabolites have been discovered from well-studied microbes by these approaches

• Activation of silent cryptic gene clusters is a challenge that awaits generic solutions

• Genome mining is a promising approach for new bioactive metabolite discovery
