  1. David Hopwood Lecture 1 (DH1)

  2. Isolation of microbes from soil: fungi, actinomycetes, other bacteria (left); streptomycetes (right)

  3. Antibiotics Other Total Actinomycetes 7900* 1220 9120 Other bacteria 1400 240 1640 Fungi 2600 1540 4140 Total 11,900 3000 14,900 Bioactive compounds from microbes (2002) *70% from Streptomyces spp.

  4. Actinomycetes Other bacteria Fungi Diminishing returns in finding useful natural products

  5. Antibiotic producers are differentiating microbes

  6. Penicillium notatum (penicillin) Aspergillus terreus (lovastatin)

  7. Penicillins Cephalosporins Griseofulvin Valuable fungal metabolites Cyclosporin Lovastatin

  8. Some myxobacteria Myxococcus Stigmatella Sorangium (epothilone)

  9. Myxobacterial metabolites

  10. Epothilone Valuable myxobacterial metabolites Ambruticin

  11. A Streptomyces colony on an agar plate

  12. Streptomyces: scanning EM Transition stage: most antibiotic production Young vegetative hyphae Aerial hyphae, young spores Mature spores

  13. Reproduction Antibiotic production Apoptosis: nutrient release Feeding

  14. Fatal attraction

  15. Needs for new antibiotics • Overcome acquired resistance: • Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) • Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus • MDR and XDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis • Gram-negativerespiratory pathogens • Less toxic anti-viral or anti-cancer agents • Immunosuppressants, cholesterol lowerers…

  16. How to find new antibiotics • Novel natural products • Chemical synthesis combichem • Genetics, genetic engineering

  17. Genetics of antibiotic producers Filamentous fungi: gene replacements, genomics Myxobacteria: transduction, transposon libraries, gene replacements, genomics… Streptomyces: plasmid-mediated conjugation, protoplast fusion, autonomous and integrating plasmid and phage cloning vectors, gene replacements, transposon libraries, genomics…

  18. Streptomyces cloning vectors

  19. Streptomyces plasmid SCP2

  20. Streptomyces phage C31

  23. The Streptomyces coelicolor genome

  24. 1958 First Streptomyces coelicolor linkage map

  37. Some actinomycete antibiotics(Polyketides)Medicine Agriculture Application Examples Application Examples Anti-bacterial Erythromycin Livestock Monensin Tetracyclines rearing Tylosin Rifamycin Virginiamycin Anti-cancer Adriamycin Anti-parasitic Avermectin Immuno- FK 506 Fungicide Polyoxin suppression Kasugamycin Antifungal Candicidin Herbicide Bialaphos

  41. The DEBS paradigm for complex polyketide biosynthesis

  42. Discovery of ‘cryptic’ secondary metabolites

  43. ‘Secondary metabolic’ gene clusters in Streptomyces coelicolor 3 antibiotics (type II PK, modular PK, NRP) 4 siderophores (2 NRP, 2 other) 3 pigments (type II PK, chalcone, carotenoid) 2 complex lipids (unsaturated FA, hopanoid) 2 signalling molecules (terpenoid, -butyrolactone) 8 other (2 modular PK, 1 NRP, 2 chalcones, 2 terpenoid, 1 deoxysugar) PK = polyketide, NRP = non-ribosomal peptide, FA = fatty acid Total length ~ 375 kb ~ 4.5% of the genome

  47. Increased effort 500 current effort level 2003 Total may be 150,000!

  48. “Therefore, by genic manipulation of the cell we have a means for obtaining, in quantities sufficient for study, many of the metabolic products of the living organism that would be otherwise undetectable” Albert Kelner (1949)
