Actinobacteria are talented producers of secondary metabolites, many of which have useful biological activities. Thanks to the development of many targeted genome mining tools for bacteria, we can now identify previously uncharacterised biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for natural products.

Some useful genome mining resources are listed below:

antiSMASH:1 (antibiotics and Secondary Metabolite Analysis Shell)

  • Identification and annotation of secondary metabolite gene clusters
  • Twitter

PRISM:2 (PRediction Informatics for Secondary Metabolism)

  • Identification of nonribosomal peptides, type I and II polyketides and RiPPs

BAGEL:3

  • Identification of gene clusters for bacteriocins and RiPPs

CLUSEAN:4

  • Annotation and analysis of secondary metabolite gene clusters

ClusterFinder:5

  • Identification of secondary metabolite gene clusters

ARTS:6 (Antibiotic Resistant Target Seeker)

  • Genome mining for secondary metabolites and potential antibiotics based on antibiotic resistance targets

2metDB:7

  • Genome mining for polyketides and nonribosomal peptides

PKMiner:8

  • Genome mining for type II polyketide synthases

SBSPKS:9

  • Sequence analysis of polyketide synthases

RiPPMINER:10

  • Genome mining and deciphering chemical structures of RiPPs

RODEO:11 (Rapid ORF Description and Evaluation Online)

  • Identification of biosynthetic gene clusters and prediction of RiPP precursor peptides

RiPPER:12

  • Identification of RiPP precursor peptides and biosynthetic gene clusters
