Several approaches have been dedicated to activate the cryptic gene clusters in the genomes of actinomycetes for the targeted discovery of new fascinating biomedical lead structures. In the current study, N-acetylglucosamine was used to maximize the chemical diversity of sponge-derived actinomycete Actinokineospora spheciospongiae sp. nov. HR-ESI-MS was employed for dereplication study and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis was applied to evaluate the HR-ESI-MS data of the different fractions. As a result, two new fridamycins H (1) and I (2), along with three known compounds actinosporin C (3), D (4), and G (5) were isolated from the solid culture of sponge-associated actinomycete Actinokineospora spheciospongiae sp. nov., elicited with N-acetylglucosamine. Characterization of the isolated compounds was pursued using mass spectrometry and NMR spectral data. Fridamycin H (1) exhibited significant growth inhibitory activity towards Trypanosoma brucei strain TC221. These results highlight the potential of elicitation in sponge-associated actinomycetes as an effective strategy for the discovery of new anti-infective natural products.

The taxonomic positions of members within the family were assessed based on phylogenomic trees reconstructed using core-proteome and genome blast distance phylogeny approaches. The closely clustered genome sequences from the type strains of validly published names within the family were analysed using overall genome-related indices based on average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. The family consists of the type genus , as well as the genera , , , , , , , , , gen.

Coculture is a productive technique to trigger microbes' biosynthetic capacity by mimicking the natural habitats' features principally by competition for food and space and interspecies cross-talks. Mixed cultivation of two Red Sea-derived actinobacteria, strain EG49 and sp. UR59, resulted in the induction of several non-traced metabolites in their axenic cultures, which were detected using LC-HRMS metabolomics analysis.

Liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRESMS)-assisted metabolomic profiling of two sponge-associated actinomycetes, sp. UR56 and sp. EG49, revealed that the co-culture of these two actinomycetes induced the accumulation of metabolites that were not traced in their axenic cultures.
