Streptomyces flavopersicus NRRL 2820 (synonym: Streptomyces netropsis DSM40093) is resistant to the N-methylpyrrole-containing oligopeptide antibiotic netropsin. A 9.38 kb DNA-fragment was isolated from a genomic library of Streptomyces flavopersicus using an Escherichia coli-Streptomyces lividans shuttle vector which enables S. lividans to grow on netropsin-containing agar plates. By subcloning, the resistance was conferred to a 5.9 kb Eco RV fragment. DNA sequence analysis of this Eco RV fragment revealed two open reading frames (netP1 , 1556 bp and netP2 , 1773 bp). The deduced proteins share significant similarity to each other (27% identity) and to the large family to ABC-type multidrug resistance proteins. In each protein a conserved transmembrane and ATP binding domain was identified. Deletion analysis showed that both proteins are necessary for netropsin resistance indicating that the proteins form a heterodimeric ABC-transporter exporting netropsin.

Streptomycetes are known as producers of bioactive substances, particularly antibiotics. IMV Ac-5025 simultaneously produces different classes of antibiotics, including polyene compounds, phytohormones, and sterols, but the metabolic pathways involved in their biosynthesis are largely understudied. The aim of this work was to explore the biosynthesis of polyene antibiotics, sterols, and phytohormones when the producer is cultivated in a nutrient medium supplemented with exogenous β-sitosterol.

Infected mosquitos from the genus have become one of the world's most influential contributors to human morbidity and death. To explore new biopesticides with activity against , , a species related to the subspecies group of , was investigated. Six metabolites, aureothin, allo-aureothin, deoxyaureothin, 4',7-dihydroxy isoflavone, 2-methyl-5-(3-indolyl)oxazole, and 2-ethyl-5-(3-indolyl)oxazole were isolated, and chemical structures, were elucidated based on one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy analyses and HRMS.

The production of specialized metabolites by bacteria is usually temporally regulated. This regulation is complex and frequently involves both global and pathway-specific mechanisms. Streptomyces ambofaciens ATCC23877 produces several specialized metabolites, including spiramycins, stambomycins, kinamycins and congocidine.

Rhizosphere microorganisms play important ecological roles in promoting herb growth and producing abundant secondary metabolites. Studies on the rhizosphere microbes of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are limited, especially on the genomic and metabolic levels. In this study, we reported the isolation and characterization of a WLXQSS-4 strain from the rhizospheric soil of Rupr.
