The activities of the key glycolytic enzymes i.e. hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were detected and investigated in 3 strains of Streptomyces rimosus differing in the level of the oxytetracycline production. The samples were assayed at different fermentation stages and under different aeration conditions. Correlation between the level of the pyruvate kinase activity within the first days of the fermentation process and the strain capacity for the antibiotic accumulation at the final stage of the fermentation process was observed.

This study investigated the psychophysiological and metabolomic changes during horticultural activities involving the inhalation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in individuals experiencing depressive mood based on the presence or absence of the soil microbe Streptomyces rimosus, which emits VOCs. Thirty participants met the specific depression and anxiety criteria and engaged in horticultural activities using soil inoculated with S. rimosus (experimental group) or medium (control group).

The shake flask cocultures of Aspergillus terreus and Streptomyces rimosus were investigated with regard to the production of mevinolinic acid (lovastatin), oxytetracycline, and other secondary metabolites (SMs). The aim of the study was to determine the effect of inoculum type (spore suspension or preculture) on the levels of SMs in the fermentation broth. Altogether, 17 SMs were detected, including 4 products with confirmed identities, 10 putatively annotated metabolites, and 3 unknown molecules.

The TetR family of regulators (TFRs), commonly reported as repressors, plays a role in regulating secondary metabolite production in Streptomyces. In this study, we sought to elucidate the relationship between TFRs and rimocidin production of Streptomyces rimosus M527. Through transcriptomic analysis, we identified the protein RS24090, which exhibited significant differential expression.

The two-species microbial cocultures are effective in terms of awakening the cryptic biosynthetic pathways. They may also lead to the improved production of previously discovered molecules. Importantly, only a few outcomes of the cocultures may prove desirable, namely those leading to the formation of useful secondary metabolites.

The influence of the initial pH on the morphology and secondary metabolite production in cocultures and axenic cultures of Aspergillus terreus and Streptomyces rimosus was investigated. The detected secondary metabolites (6 of bacterial and 4 of fungal origin) were not found in the cultures initiated at pH values less than or equal to 4.0.
