STREPTObook

Introduction


As the starting point of our project, we fancied the production of antibiotics from Streptomyces strains that could fix atmospheric CO2. We naturally had two ways to complete this project. Either we used a strain that could fix carbon and we made it produce antibiotics, or we had to pick a strain that could produce antibiotics and make it fix atmospheric CO2.



Since both approaches can be interesting, we decided to characterize several strains to start a ‘chassis registry’ which could be useful both for our project but perhaps also for other projects based on the use of Streptomyces by future iGEMers! To do this, we needed standardized protocols, both to carry out phenotype analysis (growth, antibiotic production) and genotype analysis (coding potential in terms of specialized metabolites, possible presence of prophages that could be detrimental to industrial production by the strains, sites for specific vector integration, etc.).


Actually, handling Streptomyces in laboratories is extremely hard without the proper knowledge. Recognizing them, taking care of the renewal of the spore stocks etc. requires skills. Thanks to the advice from our coaches we could take on such challenges.


While we could get guidance when we needed it, not all iGEM teams will be lucky enough to have someone that can help them overcome such problems. Therefore, at team GO_Paris-Saclay, we decided to create a comprehensive documentation compiling all the protocols that we used to take care of our strains, how to analyze Streptomyces genomes, analyses we performed throughout the year, and which strain we considered to be the best to carry on our project.


We sincerely wish that this contribution will motivate future iGEM teams to use this fancy chassis and further increase the chassis diversity within the iGEM competition.

Legend of the table: Except for [b] and [c], the color code is as follows: the bluer, the larger; the redder, the smaller. Results from [e], [f] and [g] correspond to the mean values of two independent experiments.

aSMBGCs (specialized metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters) were predicted using AntiSMASH 6.0.

bGeneration time was determined in exponential phase after inoculating 106 spores in 10 ml of MP5 medium at 30°C under a regular atmosphere. Color code: the bluer, the shorter; the redder, the longer

cLag phase in MP5 (as described in b) as considered as short if < 12h (blue), or long if > to 12 h (red).

dThe biomass (wet weight) was measured after 5 days of growth as described in [b].

eAntibacterial efficiency (ABE) (defined as the size in cm of the halo of inhibition of Micrococcus luteus growth) was determined after 3 days of growth as described in [b]. Antibiotic production (defined as the size in cm of the halo of inhibition of M. luteus growth) was determined after inoculating 5.106 spores on MP5 solid medium, and growth during 3 days at 30°C under a regular atmosphere.

fABE was determined after inoculating 5.106 spores on sub minimal medium devoid of carbon source solid medium, and growth during 3 days at 30°C under a regular atmosphere.

gABE was determined after inoculating 5.106 spores on minimal medium containing 0.5 % glycerol (an industrial waste) devoid of carbon source solid medium, and growth during 3 days at 30°C under a regular atmosphere.

hThe conjugation was performed for all strains in conditions optimized for Streptomyces ambofaciens engineering (page 11 of the STREPTObook).

> Streptomyces albidoflavus

Short Description


S. albidoflavus, is a species of Streptomyces extracted from the surface layers of Polish soil and named by Dr. Waksman in 1948 ‘S. albus’. Its name changed to S. albidoflavus in 2018. Its genome, at 6.8 Mb in length, is among the smallest in the Streptomyces genus. Its genome tends to have a reduced number of duplicated genes. S. albidoflavus has been repeatedly proposed as one of the best chassis for heterologous SMBGC expression, notably because of its fast growth and limited production of endogenous specialized metabolites.

> Streptomyces ambofaciens

Short Description


S. ambofaciens was isolated from a soil sample in the Somme department in France by Mrs. S. Pinnert-Sindico in the early 1950s. From liquid cultures of this species, two antibiotics were identified very early on: spiramycin, discovered this way, and
congocidine, already known. The species name 'ambofaciens' ('doing two things') was then given to it. The strain has since been used for the industrial production of spiramycin, an antibiotic given to pregnant women and used to combat toxoplasmosis. Congocidine, also known as netropsin, is an antibacterial that binds in the small groove of DNA to specific sequences (a sequence of 4 or more AT bases) and has antibacterial, antiviral and antitumour activity, but is far too toxic for therapeutic use. S. ambofaciens ATCC 23877 also produces kinamycin (it has two clusters directing production), antimycin and stambomycin.

> Streptomyces bottropensis

Short Description


S. bottropensis ATCC 25435 is the central strain of our project. Although still very poorly known, it is nevertheless used for its biosynthesis of an antibiotic, bottromycin. It has an 18 kb GC-rich genomic island of unknown origin containing the genes encoding a class I RuBisCO and PKR, making it a CO2-fixing module. As the functioning of the gene regulatory system of this island is still unknown, this strain has the potential to be the first C-autotrophic Streptomyces species using a RuBisCO for carbon fixation. Of note, some strains of S. bottropensis can cause common potato scab, a disease that does not affect humans but has caused economic disasters in the past.

> Streptomyces coelicolor

Short Description


S. coelicolor is the best characterised Streptomyces species. S. coelicolor is a filamentous gram-positive bacterium discovered in 1908 by R. Muller on a potato. It was first given the name Streptothrix coelicolor by Muller and later adopted the name it has today. S. coelicolor was sequenced by the John Innes Center and the Sanger Institute following extensive studies by David A Hopwood. Like the other strains of the genus, S. coelicolor lives in the surface strains of the soil and is responsible for some of the decomposition of organic matter in the soil. This species is well known for its characteristic blue and/or red colonies. It produces actinorhodin (blue) and undecylprodigiosin (red).

Short Description


This strain is very similar to S. coelicolor A3 (2) which was discovered in 1965, but produces much lower antibiotics than this strain. It is very well characterized, and therefore widely used as a heterologous producer of SMBGCs.

> Streptomyces venezuelae

Short Description


S. venezuelae is a species of Streptomyces from the soil at Caracas (Venezuela). Please note that many strains are called ‘venezuelae’ but can be rather phylogenetically unrelated (Lorenzi et al., https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.06.23.497307). The S. venezuelae ATCC 10712 strain is a model organism, very well described (a lot of genomic data available) which has the particularity to sporulate in liquid medium. This property is very rare in Streptomyces genus. This strain has also a rather fast growth compared to others.
