Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The transition from exponential to stationary
phase in Streptomyces coelicolor is accompanied by a major
metabolic switch and results in a strong activation of
secondary metabolism. Here we have explored the underlying
reorganization of the metabolome by combining computational
predictions based on constraint-based modeling and detailed
transcriptomics time course observations. RESULTS: We
reconstructed the stoichiometric matrix of S. coelicolor,
including the major antibiotic biosynthesis pathways, and
performed flux balance analysis to predict flux changes that
occur when the cell switches from biomass to antibiotic
production. We defined the model input based on observed
fermenter culture data and used a dynamically varying objective
function to represent the metabolic switch. The predicted
fluxes of many genes show highly significant correlation to the
time series of the corresponding gene expression data.
Individual mispredictions identify novel links between
antibiotic production and primary metabolism. CONCLUSION: Our
results show the usefulness of constraint-based modeling for
providing a detailed interpretation of time course gene
expression data.
