Streptomyces sp.DP0001 was inoculated into this solid medium and incubated at 28°C for 3-5 days. Small and dense colonies with a grayish-white, glossy, and thick texture were observed, confirming successful activation. Preparation of seed culture: Prepare a seed culture medium with pH 7.3 by mixing 6 g yeast extract powder, 10 g malt extract powder, 5 g glucose, 30 g sodium chloride, and 1000 mL pure water. Inoculate activated single colonies into 100 mL of the seed culture medium and incubate at 28℃ and 180 rpm for 2-3 days. Measure the OD. 600 =0.8~1.0, to obtain seed solution; (2) Large-scale fermentation Preparation of fermentation medium: Take 10 g corn flour, 4 g yeast extract powder, 5 g soybean flour, 10 g soluble starch, 4 g glucose, 1 g magnesium sulfate, 2 g ammonium sulfate, 2 g calcium carbonate, 30 g sea salt, and 1000 mL pure water to prepare a fermentation medium with a pH of 7.4. The seed culture was inoculated into the fermentation medium at a volume ratio of 5%, with a total fermentation volume of 25 L. The culture was carried out at 28°C and 180 rpm for 7 days to obtain the fermentation broth. (3) Preparation of crude extract The fermentation broth was extracted three times with an equal volume of ethyl acetate, and the extracts were combined. The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure at 40℃ and 0.09MPa using a rotary evaporator to obtain 14.3 g of brownish-yellow crude extract, which was sealed and stored at 4℃. Example 2: Isolation, purification and structural identification of Strepactone (1) Activity tracking separation Silica gel column chromatography: 14.3 g of crude extract was dissolved in methanol and loaded onto a silica gel column (100-200 mesh). The column was eluted with a gradient of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (1:0→0:1, 5 column volumes per gradient). One fraction was collected for every 200 mL of the extract. Similar fractions were combined to obtain Fr.1~Fr.10. Antimicrobial activity screening (disk method): Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and MRSA were inoculated into LB liquid medium (10 g tryptone + 5 g yeast extract + 10 g sodium chloride + 1000 mL pure water, pH 7.0) and incubated at 37°C until OD500. 600=0.6~0.8; After sterilizing LB agar medium (with 1.5% agar), cool to 50℃, add 3% bacterial solution, mix well, and pour into plates; dissolve each fraction in methanol (10 mg / mL), and add 5 μL to sterile paper discs (6 mm in diameter). Use 5 μL of 2 mg / mL gentamicin sulfate / 0.1 mg / mL ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (positive control) and 5 μL of methanol (negative control) as controls; after incubation at 37℃ for 12 h, only Fr.10 showed a clear inhibition zone (about 12 mm in diameter), which was identified as the active fraction; Medium-pressure C18 column chromatography: Dissolve 5.6 g of Fr.10 in methanol, load the solution onto a medium-pressure C18 column, and elute with a methanol-water gradient (10:90→100:0, 3 column volumes per gradient). Collect 10 subfractions Fr.10.1~Fr.10.10. Gel column chromatography and HPLC preparation: 910 mg Fr.10.9 was dissolved in methanol and loaded onto a Sephadex LH-20 column. Methanol was used for elution (flow rate 1 mL / min), and one tube was collected every 5 mL. The main peak tubes (tubes 25-30) were combined. The combined solution was purified by semi-preparative HPLC (column: YMC-Pack ODS-A, 5 μm, 250×10 mm; mobile phase 85% CH3CN / H2O; flow rate 3 mL / min; detection wavelength 210 nm). The main peak with a retention time of 6.0 min was collected and freeze-dried to obtain a white powder of Strepactone (3.8 mg).
