Understanding extremophiles and their usefulness in biotechnology involves studying their habitat, physiology and biochemical adaptations, as well as their ability to produce biocatalysts, in environments that are still poorly explored. In northwestern Peru, which has saline lagoons of marine origin Pacific Ocean, the other site is from the coast of Brazil of the Atlantic Ocean. Both environments are considered extreme. The objective of the present work was to compare two different strains isolated from these extreme environments at the metabolic level using molecular network methodology through the Global Natural Products Molecular Social Network (GNPS). In our study, the MS/MS spectra from the network were compared with GNPS spectral libraries, where the metabolites were annotated. Differences were observed in the molecular network presented in the two strains ofStreptomycesspp. coming from these two different environments. Within the an-notated compounds from marine bacteria, the metabolites characterized forStreptomycessp. B-81 from Peruvian marshes were lobophorins A (1) and H (2), as well as divergolides A (3), B (4) and C (5).Streptomycessp. 796.1 produced different compounds, such as glucopiericidin A (6) and dehy-dro-piericidin A1a (7). The search for new metabolites in underexplored environments may therefore reveal new metabolites with potential application in different areas of biotechnology. |
