Abstract
The marine bacterium Streptomyces sp. HNS054 shows promise as a platform for producing natural products. Isolated from a marine sponge, HNS054 possesses several desirable traits for bioengineering: rapid growth, salt tolerance, and compatibility with genetic tools. Its genome contains 21 potential biosynthetic gene clusters, offering a rich source of natural products. We successfully engineered HNS054 to increase the production of aborycin and actinorhodin by 4.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively, compared to S. coelicolor M1346 counterparts. With its unique features and amenability to genetic manipulation, HNS054 emerges as a promising candidate for developing novel marine-derived drugs and other valuable compounds.
