Abstract
Actinomycetes are a rich source of bioactive natural products important for novel drug leads. Recent genome mining approaches have revealed an enormous number of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs) in actinomycetes. However, under standard laboratory culture conditions, many smBGCs are silent or cryptic. To activate these dormant smBGCs, several approaches, including culture-based or genetic engineering-based strategies, have been developed. Above all, coculture is a promising approach to induce novel secondary metabolite production from actinomycetes by mimicking an ecological habitat where cryptic smBGCs may be activated. In this review, we introduce coculture studies that aim to expand the chemical diversity of actinomycetes, by categorizing the cases by the type of coculture partner. Furthermore, we discuss the current challenges that need to be overcome to support the elicitation of novel bioactive compounds from actinomycetes.

Abstract
Covering: 2000 to 2018 The antimicrobial activity of many of their natural products has brought prominence to the Streptomycetaceae, a family of Gram-positive bacteria that inhabit both soil and aquatic sediments. In the natural environment, antimicrobial compounds are likely to limit the growth of competitors, thereby offering a selective advantage to the producer, in particular when nutrients become limited and the developmental programme leading to spores commences. The study of the control of this secondary metabolism continues to offer insights into its integration with a complex lifecycle that takes multiple cues from the environment and primary metabolism. Such information can then be harnessed to devise laboratory screening conditions to discover compounds with new or improved clinical value. Here we provide an update of the review we published in NPR in 2011. Besides providing the essential background, we focus on recent developments in our understanding of the underlying regulatory networks, ecological triggers of natural product biosynthesis, contributions from comparative genomics and approaches to awaken the biosynthesis of otherwise silent or cryptic natural products. In addition, we highlight recent discoveries on the control of antibiotic production in other Actinobacteria, which have gained considerable attention since the start of the genomics revolution. New technologies that have the potential to produce a step change in our understanding of the regulation of secondary metabolism are also described.

Abstract
One of the most significant control mechanisms of the physiological processes in the genus Streptomyces is carbon catabolite repression (CCR). This mechanism controls the expression of genes involved in the uptake and utilization of alternative carbon sources in Streptomyces and is mostly independent of the phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS). CCR also affects morphological differentiation and the synthesis of secondary metabolites, although not all secondary metabolite genes are equally sensitive to the control by the carbon source. Even when the outcome effect of CCR in bacteria is the same, their essential mechanisms can be rather different. Although usually, glucose elicits this phenomenon, other rapidly metabolized carbon sources can also cause CCR. Multiple efforts have been put through to the understanding of the mechanism of CCR in this genus. However, a reasonable mechanism to explain the nature of this process in Streptomyces does not yet exist. Several examples of primary and secondary metabolites subject to CCR will be examined in this review. Additionally, recent advances in the metabolites and protein factors involved in the Streptomyces CCR, as well as their mechanisms will be described and discussed in this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Streptomyces venezuelae ATCC 10712 produces antibiotics chloramphenicol (Cml) and jadomycin (Jad) in response to nutrient limitation and ethanol shock (ES), respectively. Biosynthesis of Cml and Jad was shown to be reciprocally regulated via the action of regulatory proteins JadR1 and JadR2 encoded by the jad cluster, and mechanism of such regulation has been characterized. However, detailed analysis of the regulatory mechanism controlling Cml biosynthesis is still lacking. RESULTS In the present study, several promoters from the cml cluster were fused to the reporter gene gusA. Reporter protein activity and Cml production were assayed in the wild-type strain with and without ES, followed by similar experiments with the jadR1 deletion mutant. The latter gene was earlier reported to negatively control Cml biosynthesis, while serving as a positive regulator for the jad cluster. A double deletion mutant deficient in both jadR1 and the cml cluster was also constructed and used in promoter fusion studies. Analyses of the results revealed that ES activates Cml biosynthesis in both wild-type and jadR1 deletion mutant, while Cml production by the latter was ca 80% lower. CONCLUSIONS These results contradict earlier reports regarding the function of JadR1, but correlate well with the reporter activity data for some promoters, while reaction of others to the ES is genotype-dependent. Remarkably, the absence of Cml production in the double mutant has a profound effect on the way certain cml promoters react to ES. The latter suggests direct involvement of Cml in this complex regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Streptomycetes and other actinobacteria are renowned as a rich source of natural products of clinical, agricultural and biotechnological value. They are being mined with renewed vigour, supported by genome sequencing efforts, which have revealed a coding capacity for secondary metabolites in vast excess of expectations that were based on the detection of antibiotic activities under standard laboratory conditions. Here we review what is known about the control of production of so-called secondary metabolites in streptomycetes, with an emphasis on examples where details of the underlying regulatory mechanisms are known. Intriguing links between nutritional regulators, primary and secondary metabolism and morphological development are discussed, and new data are included on the carbon control of development and antibiotic production, and on aspects of the regulation of the biosynthesis of microbial hormones. Given the tide of antibiotic resistance emerging in pathogens, this review is peppered with approaches that may expand the screening of streptomycetes for new antibiotics by awakening expression of cryptic antibiotic biosynthetic genes. New technologies are also described that have potential to greatly further our understanding of gene regulation in what is an area fertile for discovery and exploitation

Abstract
Antibiotics are secondary metabolites, generally produced during stationary phase of growth under different nutritional and hydrodynamic stresses. However, the exact mechanisms of the induction of antibiotics production are still not clearly established. In a previous study, the induction of pristinamycins production by Streptomyces pristinaespiralis as well as product concentrations were correlated with power dissipation per unit of volume (P/V) in shaking flasks. In this study, detailed kinetics of growth, substrate consumption, oxygen transfer rate and pristinamycins production under varying P/V conditions have been obtained and analyzed. Our results showed that higher P/V resulted in a higher concentration of biomass and promoted an earlier nutrient limitation and ultimately an earlier induction of pristinamycins production. The maximal specific growth rate, specific oxygen consumption rate and specific consumption rate of glutamate increased with P/V while influence was less marked with specific consumption rate of glucose, arginine, ammonium ions and phosphate. When oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was limited by free-surface oxygen transfer, pristinamycins production was not detected despite the occurrence of nitrogen and/or phosphate sources limitation. The threshold value for OUR observed was around 25 mmol L(-1) h(-1). This suggested that a limitation in nitrogen and/or phosphate alone was not sufficient to induce pristinamycins production by S. pristinaespiralis pr11. To induce this production, the oxygen transfer had to be non-limiting.

Abstract
Background GlnR is an atypical response regulator found in actinomycetes that modulates the transcription of genes in response to changes in nitrogen availability. We applied a global in vivo approach to identify the GlnR regulon of Streptomyces venezuelae, which, unlike many actinomycetes, grows in a diffuse manner that is suitable for physiological studies. Conditions were defined that facilitated analysis of GlnR-dependent induction of gene expression in response to rapid nitrogen starvation. Microarray analysis identified global transcriptional differences between glnR+ and glnR mutant strains under varying nitrogen conditions. To differentiate between direct and indirect regulatory effects of GlnR, chromatin immuno-precipitation (ChIP) using antibodies specific to a FLAG-tagged GlnR protein, coupled with microarray analysis (ChIP-chip), was used to identify GlnR binding sites throughout the S. venezuelae genome. Results GlnR bound to its target sites in both transcriptionally active and apparently inactive forms. Thirty-six GlnR binding sites were identified by ChIP-chip analysis allowing derivation of a consensus GlnR-binding site for S. venezuelae. GlnR-binding regions were associated with genes involved in primary nitrogen metabolism, secondary metabolism, the synthesis of catabolic enzymes and a number of transport-related functions. Conclusions The GlnR regulon of S. venezuelae is extensive and impacts on many facets of the organism's biology. GlnR can apparently bind to its target sites in both transcriptionally active and inactive forms.

Abstract
Microbial secondary metabolites are low molecular mass products, not essential for growth of the producing cultures, but very important for human health. They include antibiotics, antitumor agents, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and others. They have unusual structures and are usually formed during the late growth phase of the producing microorganisms. Its synthesis can be influenced greatly by manipulating the type and concentration of the nutrients formulating the culture media. Among these nutrients, the effect of the carbon sources has been the subject of continuous studies for both, industry and research groups. Different mechanisms have been described in bacteria and fungi to explain the negative carbon catabolite effects on secondary metabolite production. Their knowledge and manipulation have been useful either for setting fermentation conditions or for strain improvement. During the last years, important advances have been reported on these mechanisms at the biochemical and molecular levels. The aim of the present review is to describe these advances, giving special emphasis to those reported for the genus Streptomyces.

Abstract
The xylanase Xys1L from Streptomyces halstedii JM8 is known to be processed extracellularly, to produce a protein of 33.7 kDa, Xys1S, that retains catalytic activity but not its cellulose-binding capacity. This paper demonstrates that at least five serine proteases isolated from Streptomyces spp. have the ability to process the xylanase Xys1L. The genes of two of these extracellular serine proteases, denominated SpB and SpC, were cloned from Streptomyces lividans 66 (a strain commonly used as a host for protein secretion), sequenced, and overexpressed in S. lividans; both purified proteases were able to process Xys1L in vitro. Three other previously reported purified Streptomyces serine proteases, SAM-P20, SAM-P26 and SAM-P45, also processed Xys1L in vitro. The involvement of serine proteases in xylanase processing-degradation in vivo was demonstrated by co-expression of the xylanase gene (xysA) and the gene encoding the serine protease inhibitor (SLPI) from S. lividans. Co-expression prevented processing and degradation of Xys1L and resulted in a threefold increase in the xylanase activity present in the culture supernatant. SpB and SpC also have the capacity to process other secreted proteins such as p40, a cellulose-binding protein from S. halstedii JM8, but do not have any clear effect on other secreted proteins such as amylase (Amy) from Streptomyces griseus and xylanase Xyl30 from Streptomyces avermitilis.

Abstract
Nonomuraea sp. ATCC 39727 is a novel actinomycete species and the producer of A40926, a glycopeptide antibiotic structurally similar to teichoplanin. In the present study, a defined minimal medium was designed for Nonomuraea fermentation. The influence of initial phosphate, glucose and ammonium concentrations on antibiotic productivity was investigated in batch fermentation and the effect of glucose limitation was studied in fed-batch fermentation. It was found that low initial concentrations of phosphate and ammonium are beneficial for A40926 production and that productivity is not enhanced during glucose limitation. Furthermore, the initiation of A40926 production was not governed by residual ammonium and phosphate concentrations, although the level of these nutrients strongly influenced A40926 production rates and final titers.

Abstract
Methylenomycin production by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) may be triggered by either of two environmental signals: alanine growth-rate-limiting conditions and/or an acidic pH shock. The production of this SCP1-encoded antibiotic was studied by using batch and chemostat cultures. Batch cultures indicated a role for both nutritional status and culture pH in its regulation. Steady-state methylenomycin production and transcription of an mmy gene under alanine but not glucose growth-rate-limiting conditions was demonstrated in chemostat culture. Transient mmy expression and methylenomycin production occurred following an acidic pH shock. This stimulation of methylenomycin production occurred independently of the nutritional status of the growth environment. Antibiotic production was partially suppressed under alanine compared with glucose growth-rate-limiting conditions following the acidic pH shock. A low specific growth rate was a prerequisite for both steady-state and transient production of methylenomycin.

Abstract
Cultures of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) produced actinorhodin in defined media with various carbon and nitrogen sources. Production occurred during biomass accumulation if assimilation of either the carbon or the nitrogen source limited the rate of growth. High growth rates tended to delay product synthesis until after biomass accumulation was complete, but fully biphasic fermentation profiles were achieved only with media supporting very rapid growth. The onset of actinorhodin production then coincided with a decline in the growth rate during transition of carbon-sufficient cultures to stationary phase. In cultures with maltose as a growth-limiting carbon source, depletion of phosphate increased the rate of actinorhodin biosynthesis, but did not alter the timing of its initiation. With defined media, the use of spores rather than vegetative mycelium as inocula reduced the overlap between trophophase and idiophase. The general guidelines for achieving biphasic production of actinorhodin in S. coelicolor A3(2) cultures could be used to obtain trophophase-idiophase separation in cultures of Streptomyces venezuelae producing chloramphenicol. However, the conditions needed to be modified to give optimized biphasic fermentations with individual strains. Under conditions favouring chloramphenicol production in a distinct idiophase, aromatic amine secondary metabolites in the same cultures of S. venezuelae were produced in a pattern that overlapped the trophophase, suggesting that conditions need to be tailored also to meet differences in the regulation of secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Continuous cultures with Streptomyces tendae revealed some interesting facts. In a continuous culture running for more than 2500 h the production of either nikkomycines or juglomycins could be selected by varying the feed composition. Decreasing the phosphate supply in the feed broth from the initial concentration of 2.5 mM to 1.0 mM enhanced the productivity of nikkomycins and decreased the productivity of juglomycins. When switching back to the initial conditions of the experiment after 2000 h nearly the same production behaviour as at the beginning of the fermentation could be observed. This indicated a stable behaviour of the population with regard to nikkomycin productivity. The long continuous fermentation showed the ability of S. tendae Tü 901/8c to produce nikkomycin at a high level for at least 1500 h. In a second continuous culture it was shown that the productivity of the nikkomycins and juglomycins decreased and increased, respectively, with increasing dilution rate. Comparing batch cultures with continuous fermentations, higher juglomycin productivity was found in the latter. These facts indicate that the strain responds to complex interacting physiological controls, by producing either nikkomycins or juglomycins in a higher amount.

Abstract
Actinorhodin production in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was relatively insensitive to the carbon source concentration but was elicited by nitrogen or phosphate depletion, or by a decline in the growth rate. In starch-glutamate media with nitrogen limitation, increasing the nitrogen supply delayed the onset of antibiotic synthesis and, at concentrations above 30 mM, decreased its rate. In a similar medium with phosphate limitation, increasing the initial phosphate concentration delayed actinorhodin formation and, above 2.5 mM, reduced the rate of synthesis. Experiments in which actinorhodin synthesis was elicited by phosphate depletion at various nitrogen concentrations demonstrated strong suppression by residual glutamate. Cultures in which actinorhodin biosynthesis was initiated by nitrogen depletion were not similarly suppressed by increasing amounts of residual phosphate. The results suggest that actinorhodin production in S. coelicolor A3(2) responds to interacting physiological controls, notable among which is nitrogen catabolite regulation.
