Abstract
Ribosomally synthesized post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a novel category of bioactive natural products (NPs). Streptomyces bacteria are a potential source of many bioactive NPs. Limited opportunities are available to characterize all the bioactive NP gene clusters. In this study, 410 sequences of Streptomyces were analyzed for RiPPs through genome mining using the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), by combining BAGEL and anti-SMASH. A total of 4098 RiPPs were found; including both classified (lanthipeptide, RiPP-like, bacteriocin, LAPs, lassopeptide, thiopeptides) and nonclassified RiPPs. Soil was identified as a rich habitat for RiPPs. These data may offer alternative future remedies for various health issues.
