Over the decades, extensive attempts were made to enhance the production of anthracyclines by introducing genetic modifications and mutations in combination with media optimization, but the target production levels remain comparatively low. Developing an appropriate culture medium to maximize the yield of DNR and preventing autotoxicity for the producing organism remains a challenge. Our prospective review sheds light on a method involving perturbation that enhances the precursors to regulate the type II PKS pathway, enhancing cells' capacity to increase secondary metabolite production. The suggested method also entails the preparation of culture media for the cultivation of <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. and enhanced yield of DNR, as well as making it inactive with iron or its reduced forms following efflux from the producer. The iron or iron-DNR complex is encapsulated by oleic acid or lipid micelle layers in the culture media, finally resulting in the generated inactive DNR and the DNR-iron-oil complex. This idea has the potential to protect the producer organism from autotoxicity and prevent the inhibition of metabolite production. The approach of substituting sugar with oil in culture media has a dual role wherein it promotes <i>Streptomyces</i> growth by utilizing lipids as an energy source and encapsulating the generated DNR-iron complex in the medium. In this review, we discussed aspects like anthracycline producers, biosynthesis pathways, and gene regulation; side effects of DNR; mechanisms for autotoxicity evasion; and culture media components for the enhancement of DNR production in <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. We anticipate that our work will help researchers working with secondary metabolites production and decipher a methodology that would enhance DNR yield and facilitate the extraction of the resulting DNR by lowering costs in large-scale fermentation.</p>","PeriodicalId":18667,"journal":{"name":"Microorganisms","volume":"12 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11676270/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142951740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common assumption when using catalytic models is that IgG is protective and immunity is lifelong. However, human IgG produced in response to natural LB infection does not protect against subsequent infection and its duration may be limited. Individuals were thus assumed to be continually susceptible to LB infection, with a range of scenarios used that varied the length of time that IgG may remain detectable, from 5 years post-infection to lifelong. The possibility that IgG may remain detectable for longer in adults than in children was also explored.

Investigating the microbial composition of the rhizosphere is central to understanding the inter-root microbial function of <i>Arundo donax</i> under various cultivation conditions.

Next-generation sequencing and QIIME2 analysis were used. The results indicated that microbial community richness, diversity, and evenness of the hydroponic samples were lower than those of soil samples when examining the α diversity indices of bacteria and fungi using Chao1, ACE, and Shannon metrics.

Furthermore, the rhizosphere of hydroponic <i>A. donax</i> contained a higher abundance of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria, which contribute to root formation.
