Integrating perspectives in actinomycete research: an ActinoBase review of 2020–21

Last year ActinoBase, a Wiki-style initiative supported by the UK Microbiology Society, published a review highlighting the research of particular interest to the actinomycete community. Here, we present the second ActinoBase review showcasing selected reports published in 2020 and early 2021, integrating perspectives in the actinomycete field. Actinomycetes are well-known for their unsurpassed ability to produce specialised metabolites, of which many are used as therapeutic agents with antibacterial, antifungal, or immunosuppressive activities. Much research is carried out to understand the purpose of these metabolites in the environment, either within communities or in host interactions. Moreover, many efforts have been placed in developing computational tools to handle big data, simplify experimental design, and find new biosynthetic gene cluster prioritisation strategies. Alongside, synthetic biology has provided advances in tools to elucidate the biosynthesis of these metabolites. Additionally, there are still mysteries to be uncovered in understanding the fundamentals of filamentous actinomycetes' developmental cycle and regulation of their metabolism. This review focuses on research using integrative methodologies and approaches to understand the bigger picture of actinomycete biology, covering four research areas: i) technology and methodology; ii) specialised metabolites; iii) development and regulation; and iv) ecology and host interactions.

“…Besides the soil ecosystem, microbes could quickly react to anthropogenic pressures, making it feasible to be an indication of soil quality as well as wellness [17,18]. Lately, efforts have been attempted to determine genes from environmental samples via culture-independent techniques [19,20]. However, they had been amplified or perhaps recognized due to their similarity to the earlier identified genes, that invalidates for exploiting novel elements of metal resistance [21,22].…”

“…However, they had been amplified or perhaps recognized due to their similarity to the earlier identified genes, that invalidates for exploiting novel elements of metal resistance [21,22]. As the development of culture-independent metagenomic methods, it has been employed to evaluate the soil microbial community as well as enhances our awareness of the soil ecosystem [17,20]. Furthermore, the soil microbial communities are primarily made up of some dominant species and numerous other rare taxa [23].…”

The better strategies to examine RNA or DNA from soil allow us to understand the microbial diversity and features in the soil, which are challenging to identify by typical culture techniques. In this direction, the literature on soil metagenomics and its usefulness is ever-increasing and so as its implementation experiences. Omics techniques are going to assist the metagenomics in achieving agricultural sustainability. In doing so, essential understanding on the reference soil would serve to help upcoming soil survey initiatives, lessening bias and raising objectivity. Although the interpretation of limited details has influenced microbial ecologists, the scope of methodological bias remains unfamiliar. A detailed catalog of functional genes and soil microorganisms does not yet exist for any soil. Overall, this chapter provides thoughts related to the soil metagenomics, its importance, and conventional methods of analysis, along with prospects and challenges of soil metagenomics.

“…This is exemplified by the breadth of habitats actinomycetes were detected in and isolated from in 2019, ranging from marine sediments in the Arctic and Antarctic [47] to tropical mangrove sediments in India [48]. They have been found in wetlands [49], hyper-arid Atacaman desert soils [50], underground in Shuanghe cave systems [51] and in Himalayan mountain pine forests [52]. In addition, actinomycetes are frequently found associated with a host organism, forming symbiotic relationships with insects such as bees [53], fungus-farming ants and pine beetles [54].…”

Advances in actinomycete research: an ActinoBase review of 2019

The actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the order Actinomycetales within the phylum Actinobacteria . They include members with significant economic and medical importance, for example filamentous actinomycetes such as Streptomyces species, which have a propensity to produce a plethora of bioactive secondary metabolites and form symbioses with higher organisms, such as plants and insects. Studying these bacteria is challenging, but also fascinating and very rewarding. As a Microbiology Society initiative, members of the actinomycete research community have been developing a Wikipedia-style resource, called ActinoBase, the purpose of which is to aid in the study of these filamentous bacteria. This review will highlight 10 publications from 2019 that have been of special interest to the ActinoBase community, covering 4 major components of actinomycete research: (i) development and regulation; (ii) specialized metabolites; (iii) ecology and host interactions; and (iv) technology and methodology.
