Diterpenoids from Streptomyces: Structures, Biosyntheses and Bioactivities

Kai Gong et al. Chembiochem. .

Abstract

Bacteria, especially Streptomyces spp., have emerged as a rich source for natural diterpenoids with diverse structures and broad bioactivities. Here, we review diterpenoids biosynthesized by Streptomyces, with an emphasis on their structures, biosyntheses, and bioactivities. Although diterpenoids from Streptomyces are relatively rare compared to those from plants and fungi, their novel skeletons, biosyntheses and bioactivities present opportunities for discovering new drugs, enzyme mechanisms, and applications in biocatalysis and metabolic pathway engineering.

Keywords: Streptomyces; bioactivities; biosynthetic gene clusters; diterpenoid terpene synthases; diterpenoids.
