Methods and compositions herein provide non-naturally occurring γ-butyrolactones (GBLs) in racemic mixtures that increase efficiency and effectiveness of screening for production of antibiotics, and enhance yields and express silent pathways. Non-naturally occurring GBLs were synthesized and found to stimulate antibiotic production in several different streptomycete strains. Antibiotic production by
Streptomyces coelicolor
was induced by a racemic mixture of non-cognate stereoisomers of VB-D, seven of which are non-naturally occurring. Further, novel A-factor-type GBL analogs stimulated antibiotic production in
S. coelicolor
. Synthesis in response to the treatment with the non-cognates GBL was observed for known compounds including undecylprodigiosin, desferrioxamine and streptorubin B, as was synthesis of a compound of unknown structure. A group of 37 additional microbial strains was screened by principal component analysis to determine optimal concentrations of each of a panel of four non-cognate synthetic GBLs for addition to cultures with optimal stimulation of secondary metabolites, and large scale fermentations were analyzed and product enhancement by the GBLs was observed.
本文提供的方法和组合物提供了非自然存在的γ-丁内酯(GBLs)的混合物,可增加筛选生产抗生素的效率和有效性,并增强产量和表达沉默途径。已合成非自然存在的GBLs,并发现它们能刺激几种不同链霉菌菌株的抗生素产生。通过非同源立体异构体VB-D的混合物(其中七种非自然存在)可以诱导链霉菌共色素的抗生素产生。此外,新型A因子型GBL类似物刺激了S. coelicolor的抗生素产生。已知化合物,包括十一烷基紫质素,去铁蛋白和链霉红素B,以及一种未知结构的化合物,对非同源GBL的处理作出了合成反应。通过主成分分析筛选了37个额外的微生物菌株,以确定每种四种非同源合成GBL的最佳浓度,以优化次生代谢物的刺激,并对大规模发酵进行了分析,观察到GBLs的产物增强效果。
