    Sisomicin fermentation using (methyl-14C)-L-methionine produced labeled sisomicin and related compounds. Gentamicin A-like compounds were formed early, suggesting a potential bioconversion pathway for sisomicin production.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Biochemistry
    • Antibiotic Research

    Background:

    • Sisomicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by fermentation.
    • Understanding the biosynthetic pathway of sisomicin is crucial for optimizing its production and discovering novel analogs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the biosynthetic pathway of sisomicin using radiolabeled precursors.
    • To identify potential intermediates and byproducts in sisomicin fermentation.

    Main Methods:

    • Fermentation of Micromonospora with (methyl-14C)-L-methionine.
    • Analysis of fermentation products using chromatography.
    • Bioconversion studies with a Micromonospora blocked mutant and radiolabeled gentamicin A.

    Main Results:

    • (methyl-14C)-L-methionine incorporation yielded labeled sisomicin, desmethylsisomicin isomers, and other minor components.
    • Early addition of the label favored incorporation into polar components like gentamicin A-like antibiotics.
    • Evidence suggested bioconversion of (methyl-14C)-gentamicin A to a sisomicin-like product.

    Conclusions:

    • The study elucidates aspects of sisomicin biosynthesis, highlighting the role of gentamicin A-like compounds.
    • The findings suggest a potential pathway involving gentamicin A intermediates in sisomicin production.
    • This research provides insights into aminoglycoside antibiotic biosynthesis and potential for metabolic engineering.
