Glycosylated polyene macrolides include effective antifungal agents, such as pimaricin, nystatin, candicidin, and amphotericin B. For the treatment of systemic mycoses, amphotericin B has been described as a gold-standard antibiotic because of its potent activity against a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens, which do not readily become resistant. However, amphotericin B has severe toxic side effects, and the development of safer alternatives remains an important objective.

We have previously shown deep-sea-derived SCSIO 5802 to produce two types of active secondary metabolites, abyssomicins and candicidins. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of SCSIO 5802 employing bioinformatics to highlight its potential to produce at least 21 categories of natural products. In order to mine novel natural products, the production of two polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs), the known 10--HSAF () and a new compound, koyanamide A (), was stimulated via inactivation of the abyssomicin and candicidin biosynthetic machineries.

Diseases caused by soilborne fungal pathogens result in significant crop yield losses and quality reduction. strain W68 is effective in controlling several soilborne fungal diseases. To identify antifungal substances critical for biocontrol activity of W68, the genome of W68 was sequenced and a linear chromosome of 6.

species produce an incredible array of high-value specialty chemicals and medicinal therapeutics. A single species typically harbors ~30 biosynthetic pathways, but only a few them are expressed in the laboratory; thus, poor understanding of how natural-product biosynthesis is regulated is a major bottleneck in drug discovery. Antimycins are a large family of anticancer compounds widely produced by species, and their regulation is atypical compared to that of most other natural products.

Microbial-derived natural products are important in both the pharmaceutical industry and academic research. As the metabolic potential of original producer especially is often limited by slow growth rate, complicated cultivation profile, and unfeasible genetic manipulation, so exploring a as a super industrial chassis is valuable and urgent. sp.
