Genome mining and chemical characterization of a new cyclic lipopeptide associated with MDN-0066 from Pseudomonas moraviensis HN2 cultured in a valine-rich medium

Abstract

A new cyclic lipopeptide (CLP) MDN-0066-β (1) and MDN-0066 (2) were isolated and characterized from the bacterial cultures of P. moraviensis HN2 in this study. The CLPs were purified by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Moreover, chemical structures of two CLPs were characterized by genome mining and analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), Marfey’s method and (C-H)α NMR fingerprint matching approach. MDN-0066 (2) has an amino acid sequence of l-Leu1, d-Glu2, d-allo-Thr3, d-Leu4, d-Leu5, d-Ser6, l-Leu7, l-Ile8 linked to a saturated C10 β-hydroxyl fatty acid moiety (R-configuration for 3-OH). The new CLP MDN-0066-β (1) differs MDN-0066 (2) in the 8th position of l-valine in its peptide moiety, this variation in structure could be attributed to the supplement of l-valine in the cultural medium during liquid fermentation. Further antimicrobial tests showed that the two CLPs display moderate antagonistic activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
