Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the inoculation volume ratio on the production of secondary metabolites in submerged cocultures of Aspergillus terreus and Streptomyces rimosus.
Results: The shake flask cocultures were initiated by using 23 inoculum variants that included different volumes of A. terreus and S. rimosus precultures. In addition, the axenic controls were propagated in parallel with the cocultures. UPLC‒MS analysis revealed the presence of 15 secondary metabolites, 12 of which were found both in the "A. terreus vs. S. rimosus" cocultures and axenic cultures of either A. terreus or S. rimosus. The production of the remaining 3 molecules was recorded solely in the cocultures. The repertoire and quantity of secondary metabolites were evidently dependent on the inoculation ratio. It was also noted that detecting filamentous structures resembling typical morphological forms of a given species was insufficient to predict the presence of a given metabolite.
Conclusions: The modification of the inoculation ratio is an effective strategy for awakening and enhancing the production of secondary metabolites that are not biosynthesized under axenic conditions.
期刊介绍：
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
