Exploring novel bioactive compounds from marine microbes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The historical paradigm of the deep ocean as a biological 'desert' has shifted to one of a 'rainforest' owing to the isolation of many novel microbes and their associated bioactive compounds. Recently, there has been an explosion of information about novel bioactive compounds that have been isolated from marine microbes in an effort to further explore the relatively untapped marine microbes and their secondary metabolites for drug discovery. The microbes are recovered and purified from the ocean by both conventional and innovative isolation methods to obtain those previously thought to be 'uncultivable'. To overcome the difficulties and limitations associated with cultivation techniques, several DNA-based molecular methods have been developed to bypass the culture-dependent bottleneck. Bioactive compounds isolated using the above strategies have not only shown importance in biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications but have also increased our understanding of the diversity of marine microbiota, ecosystem functions and the exploitable biology. 相似文献

Mycotoxins are a serious food safety concern for human and animal health. Much attention should be paid to the dietary exposure to mycotoxins in order to minimise the risk of mycotoxin contamination in the food chain. Among the reported strategies to manage the mycotoxin contamination into food and feed, biological control seems a promising approach, depending on their biological origins, and on the use of living organisms or their derivatives. Marine microorganisms have developed unique metabolic and physiological capabilities to thrive in extreme habitats and produce novel metabolites which are not often present in microbes of terrestrial origin. Some marine bacteria and fungi have a good potential for the control of fungal phytopathogens and mycotoxins. Biologists and chemists are needed to work together to explore the storehouse of marine microorganisms and marine active metabolites, because marine bacteria and fungi have a huge potential for practical application in biocontrol of fungal phytopathogens and preventing mycotoxin contamination. 相似文献

Four recently completed genome projects on marine Cyanobacteria have started the age of comparative genomics for marine microbes. Cyanobacteria are a group of photoautotrophic bacteria that have traditionally been under-represented in studies of complete genome sequences, as have microbes from the marine environment in general. The new genome information is of crucial importance to understanding their role in oceanic primary production, global carbon cycling and functioning of the biosphere. Marine microbes are a still almost untapped resource for the identification of novel beneficial metabolites and activities. The availability of an increasing number of genome sequences will eventually lead to a sustained development of marine biotechnology. 相似文献

The discussion in this short review emphasizes that the main and future source of novel natural products as leads to antitumor agents is probably in the areas of biology that cannot be seen, i.e. the microbial world. The review discusses the role of microbes in the production of secondary metabolites that were initially thought to be from marine invertebrates and goes on to discuss the potential for a number of well-known anticancer agents isolated from plant sources to actually be the products of a microbe-plant interaction and finishes with a discussion of the potential of microbial “cryptic clusters” as sources of novel agents/leads to anti-tumor treatments. 相似文献

Zebrafish Embryo Toxicity Microscale Model for Ichthyotoxicity Evaluation of Marine Natural Products
Hong Bai Wen-Wen Kong Chang-Lun Shao Yun Li Yun-Zhang Liu Min Liu Fei-Fei Guan Chang-Yun Wang 《Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.)》2016,18(2):264-270
Marine organisms often protect themselves against their predators by chemical defensive strategy. The second metabolites isolated from marine organisms and their symbiotic microbes have been proven to play a vital role in marine chemical ecology, such as ichthyotoxicity, allelopathy, and antifouling. It is well known that the microscale models for marine chemoecology assessment are urgently needed for trace quantity of marine natural products. Zebrafish model has been widely used as a microscale model in the fields of environment ecological evaluation and drug safety evaluation, but seldom reported for marine chemoecology assessment. In this work, zebrafish embryo toxicity microscale model was established for ichthyotoxicity evaluation of marine natural products by using 24-well microplate based on zebrafish embryo. Ichthyotoxicity was evaluated by observation of multiple toxicological endpoints, including coagulation egg, death, abnormal heartbeat, no spontaneous movement, delayed hatch, and malformation of the different organs during zebrafish embryogenesis periods at 24, 48, and 72 h post-fertilization (hpf). 3,4-Dichloroaniline was used as the positive control for method validation. Subsequently, the established model was applied to test the ichthyotoxic activity of the compounds isolated from corals and their symbiotic microbes and to isolate the bioactive secondary metabolites from the gorgonian Subergorgia mollis under bioassay guidance. It was suggested that zebrafish embryo toxicity microscale model is suitable for bioassay-guided isolation and preliminary bioactivity screening of marine natural products. 相似文献

Marine chemical ecology: what''s known and what''s next? 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

In this review, I summarize recent developments in marine chemical ecology and suggest additional studies that should be especially productive. Direct tests in both the field and laboratory show that secondary metabolites commonly function as defenses against consumers. However, some metabolites also diminish fouling, inhibit competitors or microbial pathogens, and serve as gamete attractants; these alternative functions are less thoroughly investigated. We know little about how consumers perceive secondary metabolites or how ecologically realistic doses of defensive metabolites affect consumer physiology or fitness, as opposed to feeding behavior. Secondary metabolites have direct consequences, but they do not act in isolation from other prey characteristics or from the physical and biological environment in which organisms interact with their natural enemies. This mandates that marine chemical ecology be better integrated into a broader and more complex framework that includes aspects of physiological, population, community, and even ecosystem ecology. Recent advances in this area involve assessing how chemically mediated interactions are affected by physical factors such as flow, desiccation, UV radiation, and nutrient availability, or by biological forces such as the palatability or defenses of neighbors, fouling organisms, or microbial symbionts. Chemical defenses can vary dramatically among geographic regions, habitats, individuals within a local habitat, and within different portions of the same individual. Factors affecting this variance are poorly known, but include physical stresses and induction due to previous attack. Studies are needed to assess which consumers induce prey defenses, how responses vary in environments with differing physical characteristics, and whether the ‘induced’ responses are a direct response to consumer attack or are a defense against microbial pathogens invading via feeding wounds. Although relatively unstudied, ontogenetic shifts in concentrations and types of defenses occur in marine species, and patterns of larval chemical defenses appear to provide insights into the evolution of complex life cycles and of differing modes of development among marine invertebrates. The chemical ecology of marine microbes is vastly underappreciated even though microbes produce metabolites that can have devastating indirect effects on non-target organisms (e.g., red tide related fish kills) and significantly affect entire ecosystems. The natural functions of these metabolites are poorly understood, but they appear to deter both consumers and other microbes. Additionally, marine macro-organisms use metabolites from microbial symbionts to deter consumers, subdue prey, and defend their embryos from pathogens. Microbial chemical ecology offers unlimited possibilities for investigators that develop rigorous and more ecologically relevant approaches. 相似文献

Discovery of novel metabolites from marine actinomycetes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Lam KS 《Current opinion in microbiology》2006,9(3):245-251
Recent findings from culture-dependent and culture-independent methods have demonstrated that indigenous marine actinomycetes exist in the oceans and are widely distributed in different marine ecosystems. There is tremendous diversity and novelty among the marine actinomycetes present in marine environments. Progress has been made to isolate novel actinomycetes from samples collected at different marine environments and habitats. These marine actinomycetes produce different types of new secondary metabolites. Many of these metabolites possess biological activities and have the potential to be developed as therapeutic agents. Marine actinomycetes are a prolific but underexploited source for the discovery of novel secondary metabolites. 相似文献

Marine microbes are capable of producing secondary metabolites for defense and competition. Factors exerting an impact on secondary metabolite production of microbial communities included bioactive natural products and co-culturing. These external influences may have practical applications such as increased yields or the generation of new metabolites from otherwise silent genes in addition to reducing or limiting the production of undesirable metabolites. In this paper, we discuss the metabolic profiles of a marine Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of a number of potential chemical epigenetic regulators, adjusting carbon sources and co-culturing with other microbes to induce a competitive response. As a result of these stressors certain groups of antibiotics or antimalarial agents were increased most notably when treating P. aeruginosa with sceptrin and co-culturing with another Pseudomonas sp. An interesting cross-talking event between these two Pseudomonas species when cultured together and exposed to sceptrin was observed. 相似文献

Diversity and biotechnological potential of the sponge-associated microbial consortia 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Wang G 《Journal of industrial microbiology & biotechnology》2006,33(7):545-551
Sponges are well known to harbor diverse microbes and represent a significant source of bioactive natural compounds derived from the marine environment. Recent studies of the microbial communities of marine sponges have uncovered previously undescribed species and an array of new chemical compounds. In contrast to natural compounds, studies on enzymes with biotechnological potential from microbes associated with sponges are rare although enzymes with novel activities that have potential medical and biotechnological applications have been identified from sponges and microbes associated with sponges. Both bacteria and fungi have been isolated from a wide range of marine sponge, but the diversity and symbiotic relationship of bacteria has been studied to a greater extent than that of fungi isolated from sponges. Molecular methods (e.g., rDNA, DGGE, and FISH) have revealed a great diversity of the unculturable bacteria and archaea. Metagenomic approaches have identified interesting metabolic pathways responsible for the production of natural compounds and may provide a new avenue to explore the microbial diversity and biotechnological potential of marine sponges. In addition, other eukaryotic organisms such as diatoms and unicellular algae from marine sponges are also being described using these molecular techniques. Many natural compounds derived from sponges are suspected to be of bacterial origin, but only a few studies have provided convincing evidence for symbiotic producers in sponges. Microbes in sponges exist in different associations with sponges including the true symbiosis. Fungi derived from marine sponges represent the single most prolific source of diverse bioactive marine fungal compounds found to date. There is a developing interest in determining the true diversity of fungi present in marine sponges and the nature of the association. Molecular methods will allow scientists to more accurately identify fungal species and determine actual diversity of sponge-associated fungi. This is especially important as greater cooperation between bacteriologists, mycologists, natural product chemists, and bioengineers is needed to provide a well-coordinated effort in studying the diversity, ecology, physiology, and association between bacteria, fungi, and other organisms present in marine sponges. 相似文献

Many microbes can be cultured as single-species communities. Often, these colonies are controlled and maintained via the secretion of metabolites. Such metabolites have been an invaluable resource for the discovery of therapeutics (e.g. penicillin, taxol, rapamycin, epothilone). In this article, written for a special issue on imaging mass spectrometry, we show that MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry can be adapted to observe, in a spatial manner, the metabolic exchange patterns of a diverse array of microbes, including thermophilic and mesophilic fungi, cyanobacteria, marine and terrestrial actinobacteria, and pathogenic bacteria. Dependent on media conditions, on average and based on manual analysis, we observed 11.3 molecules associated with each microbial IMS experiment, which was split nearly 50:50 between secreted and colony-associated molecules. The spatial distributions of these metabolic exchange factors are related to the biological and ecological functions of the organisms. This work establishes that MALDI-based IMS can be used as a general tool to study a diverse array of microbes. Furthermore the article forwards the notion of the IMS platform as a window to discover previously unreported molecules by monitoring the metabolic exchange patterns of organisms when grown on agar substrates. 相似文献

Cyanobacterial metabolites have proven to be invaluable as tools in thedissection of signal transduction pathways in mammalian cells and some arecurrently under clinical evaluation as drug candidates. It is now also realizedthat cyanobacteria are the true biosynthetic origin of many bioactive moleculesisolated from marine invertebrates; marine invertebrates may sequestercyanobacteria through diet or by symbiosis. This review discusses thedietary-derived cyanobacterial origin of the dolastatins, potent cytotoxiccompounds, originally isolated from the Indian Ocean sea hare,Dolabella auricularia. A discussion on the dietarydissemination of cyanobacterial metabolites through the marine food chain isalso presented. Reference to the metabolites isolated fromDysidea sponges is given to illustrate their origin fromsymbiotic cyanobacteria associated with this organism. 相似文献

A plethora of structurally novel bioactive secondary metabolites have been reported from the prokaryotic filamentous marine
cyanobacteria in the past few decades. In addition to the production of harmful toxins, these marine blue-green algae are
emerging as an important source of anticancer drugs. The majority of these potent biomolecules, including the dolastatins,
curacin A, hectochlorin, the apratoxins, and the lyngbyabellins, belongs to the mixed polyketide–polypeptide structural class.
Furthermore, a high proportion of these natural products target eukaryotic cytoskeleton, such as tubulin and actin microfilaments,
making them an attractive source of potential anticancer drugs. In recent years, a number of potent marine cyanobacteria have
also been reported to modulate cell death and apoptosis in cancer cells as well as target enzymes such as histone deacetylase.
A number of marine cyanobacterial compounds have also served as structural templates for the generation of new drug leads,
further attesting to the importance of these marine microbes as an important source of new pharmaceuticals. This review serves
to highlight the chemistry and biology of selected anticancer marine cyanobacterial natural products exhibiting significant
biological activities in the nanomolar or submicromolar range, and their discussion will be based on the different modes of
action. 相似文献

Trench connection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
'Trench Connection' was the first international symposium focusing primarily on the hadal zone (depths greater than 6000 m). It was held at the University of Tokyo's Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute in November 2010. The symposium was successful in having attracted an international collective of scientists and engineers to discuss the latest developments in the exploration and understanding of the deepest environments on Earth. The symposium sessions were categorized into three themes: (i) new deep-submergence technology; (ii) trench ecology and evolution; and (iii) the physical environment. Recent technological developments have overcome the challenges of accessing the extreme depths, which have in turn prompted an international renewed interest in researching physical and biological aspects of the hadal ecosystems. This bringing together of international participants from different disciplines led to healthy discussions throughout the symposium, providing potential opportunities and realizations of where the future of unravelling hadal ecology lies. Hadal science is still at relatively rudimentary levels compared with those of shallower marine environments; however, it became apparent at the symposium that it is now an ever-expanding scientific field. 相似文献

It is necessary to continue to screen for new metabolites and evaluate the potential of less known and new bacterial taxa so that new and improved compounds for future use against drug-resistant bacteria or for chemical modification may be developed. There has been considerable interest in the detection and identification of marine microorganisms since they have been reported to produce bioactive compounds ranging from antitumour to antibacterial and antiviral agents. In this study, an improved technique that involves the exploitation of marine actinophages as indicators of the marine actinomycete taxa and uses marine bacteriophages as tools to reduce the numbers of common marine bacteria, which impedes the growth of rare actinomycetes on isolation plates, has been applied. This technique reduced the numbers of colony forming units of unwanted bacteria on isolation plates and hence increased the chances of detecting novel marine actinomycete genera for isolation and subsequent screening for antiviral activity. 相似文献

Bioprocess Intensification for Production of Novel Marine Bacterial Antibiotics Through Bioreactor Operation and Design 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Jamie D. Marwick Phillip C. Wright J. Grant Burgess 《Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.)》1999,1(5):495-507
There is a lack of research into bioreactor engineering and fermentation protocol design in the field of marine bacterial
antibiotic production. Most production strategies are carried out at the shake-flask level and lack a mechanistic understanding
of the antibiotic production process, offering poor prospects for successful scale-up. This review shows that data need to
be collated on media and physical optima differences between the trophophase and idiophase, along with investigations into
the control mechanisms for biosynthesis, to allow implementation of novel fermentation protocols. Immobilization may play
a part in bioprocess intensification of marine bacterial antibiotic production, through again this area is understudied. Similarly,
mass transfer and shear stress data of fermentations are needed to provide the bioreactor design requirements to intensify
antibiotic biosynthesis, with process scale-up in mind. The application of bioprocess intensification methods to the production
of antibiotics (and other metabolites) from marine microbes will become an important strategy for improving supply of natural
products, in order to assess their suitability as chemotherapeutic drugs.
