Genomic Analysis and Antimicrobial Components of M7, an Aspergillus terreus Strain Derived from the South China Sea
As a typical filamentous fungus, Aspergillus species are highly adaptive to diverse ecological habitats, represented by their occurrence in both terrestrial and marine environments; this could plausibly be ascribed to their preeminent biological diversity and metabolic variability. In this context,...

description | As a typical filamentous fungus, Aspergillus species are highly adaptive to diverse ecological habitats, represented by their occurrence in both terrestrial and marine environments; this could plausibly be ascribed to their preeminent biological diversity and metabolic variability. In this context, marine-derived Aspergillus fungi have recently attracted great interest as a promising potential source of biologically active compounds. The present study depicts the genomic and chemical profiles of M7, a strain of Aspergillus terreus isolated from mussels in the South China Sea; the crude extracts of its soybean fermentation exhibit potent growth-inhibitory properties against A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa. Subsequently, functional genomics analysis based on sequences implied a considerable biosynthetic potential of the strain, which is substantiated by the 75 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) identified via genome mining; the majority (49 BGCs) were functionally unknown. Representatively, the putative biosynthetic pathways of terramide A and terramide B, the bacteriostatic products obtained through chemical separation and characterized from the fermentation, could not be allocated to any known BGC, highlighting the metabolic potency and diversity of this strain. Meanwhile, based on a comprehensive analysis of fermentation conditions, we confirmed that the presence of environmental iron was inversely correlated with antimicrobial characteristics of the strain M7, presumably due to the interference in the biosynthetic pathway or bioactive mechanisms of the antimicrobial components, e.g., terramide A and B. Our observations provide genomic and biochemical insight into the metabolic and ecological novelties of this strain, underpinning the diversity of biosynthetic flexibility and adaptive strategies of marine Aspergillus fungi. |
