Natural products (NPs) of microbial origin have been recognized for their therapeutic properties, with Actinomycetota being one of the leading groups in terms of their production. Due to the fact that Actinomycetota contain in their genomes a high number of biosynthetic gene clusters that may not be expressed under common cultures conditions, the strategy known as \u201cone strain many compounds\u201d (OSMAC) has emerged as an important approach to expand the chemical diversity of actinobacterial metabolites. In this work, 8 OSMAC conditions were applied to 10 actinobacterial isolates previously obtained from deep-sea samples collected at Madeira and Azores archipelagos, Portugal, in an attempt to activate silent biosynthetic gene clusters capable of producing new NPs. Organic extracts from the isolates grown under the different conditions (80 in total) were tested for their antimicrobial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities, revealing 11 extracts that inhibited the growth of\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium<\/jats:italic>\n                    or\n                    <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and 9 extracts that reduced the cellular viability of T-47D or HepG2 cancer cells, while no anti-inflammatory activity was observed. Metabolomic profile of the actinobacterial extracts revealed metabolites matching known NPs, as well as features suggestive of previously unreported compounds (15 in total). This study demonstrated that the OSMAC approach is effective in modulating secondary metabolism in Actinomycetota and is consequently a useful resource for the discovery of new molecules with biotechnological potential.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmars.2026.1754764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]],"date-time":"2026-02-06T13:27:46Z","timestamp":1770384466000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring deep-sea Actinomycetota chemical diversity by using the OSMAC approach"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Sofia","family":"Correia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR\/CIMAR LA), University of Porto","place":["Matosinhos, Portugal"]},{"name":"School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (ICBAS), University of Porto","place":["Porto, Portugal"]}]},{"given":"In\u00eas","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR\/CIMAR LA), University of Porto","place":["Matosinhos, Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Andreia","family":"Braga-Henriques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre","place":["Funchal, Madeira, Portugal"]},{"name":"ARNET - Aquatic Research Network","place":["Funchal, Madeira, Portugal"]},{"name":"OOM - Oceanic Observatory of Madeira","place":["Funchal, Madeira, Portugal"]},{"name":"ARDITI - Ag\u00eancia Regional para o Desenvolvimento da Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Tecnologia e Inova\u00e7\u00e3o","place":["Funchal, Madeira, Portugal"]},{"name":"Museu de Hist\u00f3ria Natural do Funchal","place":["Funchal, Madeira, Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Pedro N.","family":"Le\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR\/CIMAR LA), University of Porto","place":["Matosinhos, Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Ralph","family":"Urbatzka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR\/CIMAR LA), University of Porto","place":["Matosinhos, Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Maria F.","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR\/CIMAR LA), University of Porto","place":["Matosinhos, Portugal"]},{"name":"School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (ICBAS), University of Porto","place":["Porto, Portugal"]}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"798","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biotechadv.2015.06.003","article-title":"Elicitation of secondary metabolism in actinomycetes","volume":"33","author":"Abdelmohsen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biotechnol. advances."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"11959","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.analchem.2c02245","article-title":"Integrated metabolomic\u2013genomic workflows accelerate microbial natural product discovery","volume":"94","author":"Avalon","year":"2022","journal-title":"Analytical Chem."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1016\/j.synbio.2018.09.001","article-title":"Activation of microbial secondary metabolic pathways: Avenues and challenges","volume":"3","author":"Baral","year":"2018","journal-title":"Synthetic Syst.
