  • The Complete Genome Sequence of the Acarbose Producer Actinoplanes Sp
    Schwientek et al. BMC Genomics 2012, 13:112 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/13/112 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access The complete genome sequence of the acarbose producer Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 Patrick Schwientek1,2, Rafael Szczepanowski3, Christian Rückert3, Jörn Kalinowski3, Andreas Klein4, Klaus Selber5, Udo F Wehmeier6, Jens Stoye2 and Alfred Pühler1,7* Abstract Background: Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 is known as the wild type producer of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose, a potent drug used worldwide in the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. As the incidence of diabetes is rapidly rising worldwide, an ever increasing demand for diabetes drugs, such as acarbose, needs to be anticipated. Consequently, derived Actinoplanes strains with increased acarbose yields are being used in large scale industrial batch fermentation since 1990 and were continuously optimized by conventional mutagenesis and screening experiments. This strategy reached its limits and is generally superseded by modern genetic engineering approaches. As a prerequisite for targeted genetic modifications, the complete genome sequence of the organism has to be known. Results: Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 [GenBank:CP003170], the first publicly available genome of the genus Actinoplanes, comprising various producers of pharmaceutically and economically important secondary metabolites. The genome features a high mean G + C content of 71.32% and consists of one circular chromosome with a size of 9,239,851 bp hosting 8,270 predicted protein coding sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of the core genome revealed a rather distant relation to other sequenced species of the family Micromonosporaceae whereas Actinoplanes utahensis was found to be the closest species based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison.

  • Computer Assisted Classification and Identification of Actinomycetes
    Computer Assisted Classification and Identification of Actinomycetes Jongsik Chun (B.Sc. Microbiology, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea) NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIERARY 094 52496 3 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Microbiology The Medical School Newcastle upon Tyne England-UK July 1995 ABSTRACT Three computer software packages were written in the C++ language for the analysis of numerical phenetic, 16S rRNA sequence and pyrolysis mass spectrometric data. The X program, which provides routines for editing binary data, for calculating test error, for estimating cluster overlap and for selecting diagnostic and selective tests, was evaluated using phenotypic data held on streptomycetes. The AL16S program has routines for editing 16S rRNA sequences, for determining secondary structure, for finding signature nucleotides and for comparative sequence analysis; it was used to analyse 16S rRNA sequences of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes. The ANN program was used to generate backpropagation-artificial neural networks using pyrolysis mass spectra as input data. Almost complete 1 6S rDNA sequences of the type strains of all of the validly described species of the genera Nocardia and Tsukamurel!a were determined following isolation and cloning of the amplified genes. The resultant nucleotide sequences were aligned with those of representatives of the genera Corynebacterium, Gordona, Mycobacterium, Rhodococcus and Turicella and phylogenetic trees inferred by using the neighbor-joining, least squares, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony methods. The mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes formed a monophyletic line within the evolutionary radiation encompassing actinomycetes. The "mycolic acid" lineage was divided into two clades which were equated with the families Coiynebacteriaceae and Mycobacteriaceae.

I. Taxonomic Studies of the Producing Microorganism and Fermentation W. Aretz, J. Meiwes, G. Seibert, G. Vobis1" and J. Wink* HMRDeutschland GmbH, 65926 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, ^ Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Centro Regional Universitario Bariloche, 0100 San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina (Received for publication November 22, 1999) A strain that produces new lipopeptide antibiotics is a new species of the genus Actinoplanes for which we propose the name Actinoplanes friuliensis (type strain: HAG 010964). The strain is an actinoplanete actinomycete having cell wall II composition and forming sporangia. Comparisons with Actinoplanes spp. which have similarities with our isolate, including fatty acid analysis, showed that the isolate belongs to a new species. Taxonomicstudies and fermentation are presented. The genus Actinoplanes is one of the most important German Culture Collection (DSMZ)under number DSM genera among actinomycetes in the production of 7358. secondary metabolites. Gardimycin1} and teicoplanin2) are two reported antibiotics from the genus Actinoplanes. Lipopeptides have been reported from Actinoplanes Materials and Methods nipponensis3). The a-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose is similarly a product ofActinoplanes sp.4). Isolation In our screening program for new antibiotics active Strain HAG010964 was isolated from a soil sample against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a strain collected at the garden entrance of a house in the Friuli that produced a group of new lipopeptide antibiotics (the Province, Italy on June 3, 1987, using the chemotactic structure elucidation will be presented in the following method of Palleroni7) and starch-casein-sulfate agar paper) was isolated from a soil sample collected in northern medium recommended by Vobis8).
