Resumen
Streptomyces sp. H-KF8 is an actinobacterial strain isolated from marine sediments of
a Chilean Patagonian fjord. Morphological characterization together with antibacterial
activity was assessed in various culture media, revealing a carbon-source dependent activity
mainly against Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus and L. monocytogenes). Genome
mining of this antibacterial-producing bacterium revealed the presence of 26 biosynthetic
gene clusters (BGCs) for secondary metabolites, where among them, 81% have
low similarities with known BGCs. In addition, a genomic search in Streptomyces sp.
H-KF8 unveiled the presence of a wide variety of genetic determinants related to
heavy metal resistance (49 genes), oxidative stress (69 genes) and antibiotic resistance
(97 genes). This study revealed that the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. H-KF8
bacterium has the capability to tolerate a diverse set of heavy metals such as copper,
cobalt, mercury, chromate and nickel; as well as the highly toxic tellurite, a feature
first time described for Streptomyces. In addition, Streptomyces sp. H-KF8 possesses
a major resistance towards oxidative stress, in comparison to the soil reference strain
Streptomyces violaceoruber A3(2). Moreover, Streptomyces sp. H-KF8 showed resistance
to 88% of the antibiotics tested, indicating overall, a strong response to several abiotic
stressors. The combination of these biological traits confirms the metabolic versatility
of Streptomyces sp. H-KF8, a genetically well-prepared microorganism with the ability
to confront the dynamics of the fjord-unique marine environment.
