A new amide glycoside, 3-alpha-glucopyranosyloxy-N-methyl-3-phenylpropanamide (1), and a new cyclodipeptide, (3S,6S)-3,6-bis(4-acetamidobutyl)piperazine-2,5-dione (2), were isolated from the solid culture of Streptomycetes michiganensis strain SC0642. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

The calcium-dependent antibiotics (CDAs) are a group of seven closely related membrane-active cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics (cLPAs) first isolated in the early 1980s from the fermentation broth of . Their target was unknown, and the mechanism of action is uncertain. Herein, we report new routes for the synthesis of CDA4b and its analogues, explore the structure-activity relationships at its lipid tail and at positions 3, 9, and 11, and determine the CDAs' lipid target.

is a species used worldwide to industrially produce clavulanic acid (CA), a molecule that enhances antibiotic effectiveness against β-lactamase-producing bacterial strains. Despite its low inherent CA production, hyper-producing strains have been developed. However, genomic analyses specific to and CA biosynthesis are limited.

Thermophilic microorganisms possess several adaptations to thrive in high temperature, which is reflected as biosynthesis of proteins and thermostable molecules, isolation and culture represent a great methodological challenge, therefore High throughput sequencing enables screening of the whole bacterial genome for functional potential, providing rapid and cost-effective information to guide targeted cultures for the identification and characterization of novel natural products. In this study, we isolated two thermophilic bacterial strains corresponding to LB7 and LB8, from the microbial mats in the Atacama Desert. By combining genome mining, targeted cultures and biochemical characterization, we aimed to identify their capacity to synthesize bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties.
