Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fermentation engineering technology, and in particular to Embryobacter L77, a polyether antibiotic producer, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Streptomycetaceae strains within the phylum Actinobacteria are a major source of natural antibiotics. With the application of genomics technology in microbial taxonomy, the classification system of actinomycetes has been revised and improved. In 2018, based on genomic data, researchers revised the Streptomycetaceae family, establishing a new genus—*Embrylium*. Embleya ), and originally belonged to the Streptomyces genus Streptomyces scabrisporus Revised to Embleya scabrispora Currently, the number of validly published species in the genus *Embryonicus* is extremely small, including only a limited number... Embleya scabrispora and Embleya hyalina Two species.
[0003] Polyether antibiotics are a class of ion carriers with important pharmacological activities. Their structural characteristic is the presence of one or more polyether fragments, enabling them to react with Na+. + Ca 2+ The binding of isocations promotes the transport of these ions across the cell membrane, thereby exerting biological effects. Calcimycin (also known as A23187) is a typical representative of this class of compounds, initially isolated from... Streptomyces chartreusis Structurally, cathinone is mainly composed of... α It consists of three core components: a ketopyrrole ring, a spirocyclic ketal ring, and a benzoxazole ring. The number of existing naturally derived cathinone analogs is limited, mainly including... N -demethyl calcimycin, cezomycin, AC7230, demethyl (C-11)cezomycin, X-14885A, routiennocin, precezomycin, and phytohabimicin, etc. Among them, precezomycin is a cezomycin derivative with an open oxazole ring, while phytohabimicin is a benzoxazole ring replaced by a thiazole ring.
[0004] Existing research indicates that cathinone compounds possess broad biological activities and significant application value. This is due to their ability to specifically chelate calcium... 2+ Mg 2+ Divalent metal cations are often used as tool drugs to study cell membrane biological properties and calcium.2+ Mediated biochemical pathway research. In terms of pharmacological activity, cassiopum and its analogues exhibit antibacterial, anti-insect, anti-tumor and other activities. For example, compound X-14885A has activity against pig dysentery spirochetes (Leptospira interrogans) (Leptospira interrogans) ; generally, such compounds are mainly directed against gram-positive bacteria and fungi, but structural modification (such as replacement of the thiazole ring in phytohabimicin) can enable them to obtain the ability to resist gram-negative bacteria (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa). In addition, such compounds also have the functions of inducing mammalian sperm acrosome reaction, activating oocytes, etc., and have application potential in the field of assisted reproduction. Treponema hyodysenteriae
[0005] However, although cassiopum compounds have significant prospects for medical use, the types of natural analogues discovered so far are rare, and Embrikia as a potential secondary metabolite resource library, its chemical diversity has not been fully explored. Therefore, finding new Embrikia strains and isolating novel cassiopum derivatives with unique activity from them is of great significance for enriching antibiotic chemical structure types and developing new drugs.

[0064] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0065] The experimental methods involved in the following examples are all conventional methods in the art if not specifically mentioned, for example, refer to the experimental manuals in the art, or follow the suggested conditions according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0066] The experimental materials and reagents involved in the following examples can be obtained from commercial channels if not specifically mentioned.
[0067] Example 1 Isolation of Enhydrobacter L77 The soil sample collected from Talatan, Gonghe County, Qinghai Province, China was air-dried (about 16 h) on a clean bench, and then ground into powder using a sterile mortar. 1.00 g of the soil sample was added into 10 mL of culture solution (yeast extract powder 60.0 g, Na4P2O7 1.0 g, NaCl 7.5 g, KCl 0.1 g, CaCl2 0.1 g, NaHCO3 0.2 g, deionized water 1.0 L, pH 7.2, sterilized at 121 ℃ for 15 min), and cultured at 28 ℃ and 180 rpm for 4 h. The soil suspension was diluted to 10 -2 200 μL of the diluted solution was evenly spread on ISP 5 medium (L-asparagine 1.0 g, glycerol 10.0 g, K2HPO4·7H2O 1.0 g, ZnSO4·7H2O 0.001 g, MnCl2·4H2O 0.001 g, FeSO4·7H2O 0.002 g, agar 15.0 g, deionized water 1.0 L, pH 7.2, sterilized at 121 ℃ for 15 min), and incubated at 28 ℃. Single colonies were picked under sterile conditions, and purified by three-zone streaking on ISP 2 medium to obtain a pure culture colony, which was named as L77.
[0068] Example 2 Identification of Enhydrobacter L77 (1) Morphology and culture characteristics The Enhydrobacter L77 described in the present application does not produce water-soluble pigments on ISP 2 medium, and can form a small amount of white aerial hyphae. As shown in FIG. 1, the colony is round to oval, and light yellow. The colony center is protruding, showing radial grooves and concentric ring structures. The aerial hyphae are branched, and have no rupture. Figure 1
[0069] (2) Molecular identification To determine the taxonomic status of Embrikia L77, its 16S rRNA gene was uploaded to Ezbiocloud database (https: / / www.ezbiocloud.net / ) for comparison, and the sequence of the model strain with high similarity was obtained, and then the MEGA 7.0.26 software was used to construct a phylogenetic tree based on the Neighbour-joining method. As shown in Fig. 1, strain L77 was clustered in the same branch with Embrikia strains, indicating that strain L77 was an Embrikia strain. At present, there are only two species in Embrikia, and through whole genome comparison, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of Embrikia strain L77 with Embrikia Lautus DSM41855 (GCA_000372745.1) and Embrikia sp. NBRC 13850 (GCA_003967355.1) were 90.96% and 84.99% respectively, which were lower than the new species definition value of 95%; the digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were 46.2% and 31.5% respectively, which were lower than the new species definition value of 70%. Therefore, strain L77 is a new species of Embrikia. Figure 2 Embleya scabrispora DSM41855 T (GCA_000372745.1) and Embleya hyalina NBRC 13850 T (GCA_003967355.1) were 90.96% and 84.99% respectively, which were lower than the new species definition value of 95%; the digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were 46.2% and 31.5% respectively, which were lower than the new species definition value of 70%. Therefore, strain L77 is a new species of Embrikia.
[0070] Example 3 Fermentation of Embrikia L77 Strain L77 was inoculated on ISP 2 medium plate and incubated at 28 ℃ for 7 d, and about 1 cm 2 of the agar block containing bacteria was inoculated in a 500 mL flask containing 100 mL of ISP 2 liquid medium, and incubated at 28 ℃, 180 rpm for 5 d to prepare seed liquid. 100 mL of seed liquid was transferred to a 5 L conical flask containing 1 L of liquid fermentation medium (soluble starch 10.0 g, soybean powder 5.0 g, glycerol 10.0 g, peptone 15.0 g, calcium carbonate 2.0 g, deionized water 1.0 L, pH 7.2, 121 ℃ sterilization for 15 min), a total of 35 L, and incubated at 28 ℃, 180 rpm for 7 d to obtain the fermentation liquid.
[0071] Example 4 Extraction of Embrikia L77 Crude Extract The fermentation broth was centrifuged, and the supernatant was extracted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate three times (35 L x 3). The ethyl acetate was removed by concentration under reduced pressure at 30°C to obtain the supernatant crude extract.

The supernatant and the mycelium crude extract were combined and weighed (12.9 g).
[0072] Example 5 Isolation of Enterobacter L77 metabolites The crude extract was eluted on a Flash C18 column (20%–100% methanol) to obtain 18 fractions (Fr. 1~18). Fr. 12~13 were combined and separated by HPLC (Capcell Pak C18 MGⅡ, 5 μm, 10 mm × 250 mm, 70% acetonitrile-0.01% trifluoroacetic acid, 2.0 mL / min) to obtain a compound of formula VIII (66.51 mg, t R = 20.4 min) and a compound of formula I (9.15 mg, t R = 25.1 min), and Fr. 14 was separated by a semi-preparative Capcell Pak C18 MGⅡ column (70% acetonitrile-0.01% trifluoroacetic acid, 2.0 mL / min) to obtain component 77-14-3, a compound of formula III (28.5 mg, t R = 28.8 min) and a compound of formula IV (combined with Fr. 15~16, 6.1 g, t R = 34.6 min).

In the HMBC spectrum, H-9 is correlated with C-8 / C-10 / C-11, and H-10 is correlated with C-8, indicating that the spirocyclic ketal fragment is linked to the C-8 position of benzoxazole via a methylene group. H-19 is correlated with C-17 / C-18 / C-20, indicating... α - Ketopyrrole and spirocyclic ketal fragment via methine C-19 ( δ C 45.5) are connected. CH3-11' is associated with C-10 / C-11 / C-12, and CH3-19' is associated with C-18 / C-19 / C-20, determining the connection positions of the two methyl groups. This confirms the planar structure of the compound of formula I.
