University of Alabama at Birmingham, To mine its metabolic potential in depth, co-culture of Streptomyces rochei MB037 United States Phan Chia Wei, with a gorgonian-derived fungus Rhinocladiella similis 35 was carried out to stimulate University of Malaya, Malaysia the production of new metabolites in this study, using pure cultivation as control. Five Kai-Leng Tan, metabolites were isolated successfully from co-culture broth, including two new fatty Guangdong University of Technology, China acids with rare nitrile group, borrelidins J and K (1 and 2), one chromone derivative *Correspondence: as a new natural product, 7-methoxy-2,3-dimethylchromone-4-one (3), together with Zhiyong Li two known 18-membered macrolides, borrelidin (4) and borrelidin F (5). The structures [email protected] Changyun Wang of 1–3 were elucidated by using a combination of NMR and MS spectroscopy, [email protected] ester hydrolysis, and optical rotation methods. Interestingly, 1 and 2 were obtained only in co-culture. Though 3 was gained from either co-culture or single culture, its Specialty section: This article was submitted to production was increased significantly by co-culture. Compound 1 exhibited significant Antimicrobials, Resistance antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with a MIC and Chemotherapy, a section of the journal value of 0.195 mg/mL.

The actinomycete S. rochei MB037 and fungal R. similis 35 Macrolide borrelidin has been reported to show broad- were cultivated in 25 L of ISP2 medium [malt extract 10 g, spectrum activities (Anderson et al., 1989; Ishiyama et al., 2011; anhydrous dextrose 4 g, yeast extract 4 g in 1 L of artificial Mirando et al., 2015). In our previous study, borrelidin was seawater (NaCl 132.6 g, MgCl ·6H O 55.86 g, CaCl 5.705 g, isolated and elucidated as a major product from a sponge- 2 2 2 KCl 3.625 g, NaHCO 1.01 g, NaBr 0.415 g), pH value 7.0] at derived actinomycete Streptomyces rochei MB037 (Li et al., 2018). 3 28◦C with shaking at 180 rpm, respectively. On day 3, 200 mL To mine its more metabolic potential, co-culture approach of actinomycete culture was inoculated into each 200 mL of the was applied on S. rochei MB037. A gorgonian-derived fungal fungal cultures (1:1 v/v) to initiate the co-culture experiment. The strain, Rhinocladiella similis 35, was selected as a partner against changes of secondary metabolite production between co-culture actinomycete S. rochei MB037. A literature survey revealed and single culture were analyzed by reverse-phased HPLC. that a few new and bioactive compounds were separated from After incubation for 11 additional days, the co-culture broth the fungus Rhinocladiella sp.
