Clethramycin from Streptomyces malaysiensis DSM4137, and mediomycins (produced together with clethramycin from Streptomyces mediocidicus), are near-identical giant linear polyenes apparently constructed from, respectively, a 4-guanidinobutanoate or 4-aminobutanoate starter unit and 27 polyketide extender units, and bearing a specific O-sulfonate modification at the C-29 hydroxy group. We show here that mediomycins are actually biosynthesised not by use of a different starter unit but by direct late-stage deamidination of (desulfo)clethramycin. A gene (slf) encoding a candidate sulfotransferase has been located in both gene clusters. Deletion of this gene in DSM4137 led to accumulation of desulfoclethramycin only, instead of a mixture of desulfoclethramycin and clethramycin. The mediomycin gene cluster does not encode an amidinohydrolase, but when three candidate amidinohydrolase genes from elsewhere in the S. mediocidicus genome were individually expressed in Escherichia coli and assayed, only one of them (medi4948), located 670 kbp away from the mediomycin gene cluster on the chromosome, catalysed the removal of the amidino group from desulfoclethramycin. Subsequent cloning of medi4948 into DSM4137 caused mediomycins A and B to accumulate at the expense of clethramycin and desulfoclethramycin, respectively, a rare case where an essential biosynthetic gene is not co-located with other pathway genes. Clearly, both desulfoclethramycin and clethramycin are substrates for this amidinohydrolase. Also, purified recombinant sulfotransferase from DSM4137, in the presence of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate as donor, efficiently converted mediomycin B to mediomycin A in vitro. Thus, in the final steps of mediomycin A biosynthesis deamidination and sulfotransfer can take place in either order.

Musty and earthy odor are present in the source water of Feng-Shen waterworks (FSW) in south Taiwan all year round. Although 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and geosmin are responsible for the musty and earthy odor, respectively, the possible odor producers remained unknown. In this study, actinomycetes that produce 2-MIB and geosmin were studied. Based on the 16S rDNA sequence, three species were identified after comparison with the GenBank database at the NCBI. The three species are Streptomyces malaysiensis as a 2-MIB and geosmin producer, Streptomyces caelestis as a 2-MIB producer, and Streptomyces roseoflavus as a geosmin producer. For S. malaysiensis and S. caelestis, the production of MIB and/or geosmin was increased with incubation temperature (20–30 °C) in starch–glutamate broth medium. The optimal MIB, geosmin and biomass occurred at 30 °C. The maximal geosmin/biomass (G/B) and/or MIB/biomass (M/B) also occurred at 30 °C, and sporulating cultures contained more geosmin and/or MIB than nonsporulatig cultures.
