Integrated Omics-Based Discovery of Bioactive Halogenated Metabolites from the Deep-Sea Streptomyces sp. B188M101.

Using the one-strain-many-compounds (OSMAC) culturing approach, metabolomic studies, and bioassay-guided purification, we have isolated and characterised three new chlorinated natural products, agelolines B-D (1-3), together with two known compounds, ageloline A (4) and gausemycin A (5), which have been identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and 1D and 2D NMR analyses. The preliminary evaluation of three small-scale extracts (M400, R358 and SGG) against the fish pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. achromogenes KELDUR265-87, showed that the R358 extract displayed significant activity. Furthermore, the natural products (1-5) were evaluated against the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida and human pathogens (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia L2125, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538P, and S. pneumoniae L44) using a serial dilution assay. Compound 3 displayed activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538P, S. maltophilia L2125, and S. pneumoniae L44 with MIC values of 6, 32, and 64 µg/mL, respectively. Interestingly, only gausemycin A (5) exhibited considerable inhibition against A. salmonicida with an MIC value of 32 µg/mL, and the activity increased by two-fold when supplemented with 0.45 mM calcium salt, while 2 and 4 showed moderate inhibition against S. maltophilia L2125. The biosynthetic pathways of compounds 1-4 were proposed. This is the first report of specific inhibition of A. salmonicida by 5.
