Addition of a soil metabolite to Streptomyces avermitilis induces it to produce a cryptic metabolite
Ueda et al., J. Antibiotics, 2000
Diffusible compound from a soil organism induces another organism to generate a new antibiotic activity
Supernatant of soil organism A
(stimulating compound)
Soil organism B(antibiotic producer)
• Paper discs containing extracts from the culture broth of organism A were placed adjacent to inoculated spots of organism B
•
• Organism B grew for 1 – 3 days
• Soft agar containing spores of Bacillus subtilis was overlain to indicate antibiotic production

Conclusions
• Several different approaches for the identification of the products of cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters have been developed in recent years
• Several novel bioactive metabolites have been discovered from well-studied microbes by these approaches
• Activation of silent cryptic gene clusters is a challenge that awaits generic solutions
• Genome mining is a promising approach for new bioactive metabolite discovery
