Silicibacter sp. TM1040, a member of the marine Roseobacter clade, produces the antibiotic and quorum signaling molecule tropodithietic acid (TDA), encoded by tdaABCDEF. Here, we showed that an LysR-type transcriptional regulator, TdaA, is a positive regulator of tdaCDE gene expression and binds to the tdaC promoter region.

Members of the genus are widely distributed in the marine environment and are known for their ability to produce tropodithietic acid (TDA). Studies investigating the genomic and metabolic features of strains from marine biofilms are sparse. Here, we analyze the complete genomes of 18 strains isolated from biofilms on subtidal stones, with the aim of determining their potential to synthesize secondary metabolites.

A sp. was isolated from the skeleton of the heat resilient coral . Genome analysis revealed the presence of the complete denitrification pathway and potential dimethylsulfoniopropionate metabolism which enhance coral resilience and production of tropodithietic acid, an antibiotic implicated in host defense.

Many bacteria co-exist and produce antibiotics, yet we know little about how they cope and occupy the same niche. The purpose of the present study was to determine if and how two potent antibiotic-producing marine bacteria influence the secondary metabolome of each other. We established an agar- and broth-based system allowing co-existence of a species and that, respectively, produce tropodithietic acid (TDA) and bromoalterochromides (BACs).

The scarcity of freshwater resources resulting in a significant yield loss presents a pressing challenge in agriculture. To address this issue, utilizing abundantly available saline water could offer a smart solution. In this study, we demonstrate that the genome sequence rhizosphere bacterium Tritonibacter mobilis AK171, a halophilic marine bacterium recognized for its ability to thrive in saline and waterlogged environments, isolated from mangroves, has the remarkable ability to enable plant growth using saline irrigation.

The non-benzenoid aromatic tropone ring is a structural motif of numerous microbial and plant natural products with potent bioactivities. In bacteria, tropone biosynthesis involves early steps of the widespread CoA-dependent phenylacetic acid (paa) catabolon, from which a shunt product is sequestered and surprisingly further utilized as a universal precursor for structurally and functionally diverse tropone derivatives such as tropodithietic acid or (hydroxy)tropolones. Here, we elucidate the biosynthesis of the antibiotic 3,7-dihydroxytropolone in Actinobacteria by pathway reconstitution using paa catabolic enzymes as well as dedicated downstream tailoring enzymes, including a thioesterase (TrlF) and two flavoprotein monooxygenases (TrlCD and TrlE).
