简介
With the overmining of actinomycetes for compounds acting against Gram-negative pathogens, recent efforts to discover novel antibiotics have been focused on other groups of bacteria. Teixobactin, the first antibiotic without detectable resistance that binds lipid II, comes from an uncultured Eleftheria terra, a betaproteobacterium; odilorhabdins, from Xenorhabdus, are broad-spectrum inhibitors of protein synthesis, and darobactins from Photorhabdus target BamA, the essential chaperone of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are symbionts of the nematode gut microbiome and attractive producers of secondary metabolites. Only small portions of their biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) are expressed in vitro. To access their silent operons, we first separated extracts from a small library of isolates into fractions, resulting in 200-fold concentrated material, and then screened …
