A cultivation-dependent approach revealed that highly diverse populations of Streptomyces were present in atmospheric precipitations from a hailstorm event sampled in February 2016 in the Cantabrian Sea coast, North of Spain. A total of 29 bioactive Streptomyces strains isolated from small samples of hailstone and rainwater, collected from this hailstorm event, were studied here. Taxonomic identification by 16S rRNA sequencing revealed more than 20 different Streptomyces species, with their closest homologs displaying mainly oceanic but also terrestrial origins. Backward trajectory analysis revealed that the air-mass sources of the hailstorm event, with North Western winds, were originated in the Arctic Ocean (West Greenland and North Iceland) and Canada (Labrador), depending on the altitude. After traveling across the North Atlantic Ocean during 4 days the air mass reached Europe and precipitated as hailstone and rain water at the sampling place in Spain. The finding of Streptomyces species able to survive and disperse through the atmosphere increases our knowledge of the biogeography of genus Streptomyces on Earth, and reinforces our previous dispersion model, suggesting a generalized feature for the genus which could have been essential in his evolution. This unique atmospheric-derived Streptomyces collection was screened for production of bioactive secondary metabolites. Analyses of isolates ethyl acetate extracts by LC-UV-MS and further database comparison revealed an extraordinary diversity of bioactive natural products. One hundred molecules were identified, mostly displaying contrasted antibiotic and antitumor/cytotoxic activities, but also antiparasitic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotector, and insecticide properties. More interestingly, 38 molecules not identified in natural products databases might represent new natural products. Our results revealed for the first time an extraordinary diversity of Streptomyces species in the atmosphere able to produce an extraordinary repertoire of bioactive molecules, thus providing a very promising source for the discovery of novel pharmaceutical natural products.
Natural products are essential to human health and constitute a primary resource in biomedicine and biotechnology. Streptomyces species (Phylum Actinobacteria) are the most prolific source of bioactive natural products with pharmaceutical activities. New trends in the discovery of novel drugs, such antibiotics and antitumor compounds, are focused on the search of producing microorganisms from unexplored habitats (Subramani and Aalbersberg, 2013; Behie et al., 2016; Maciejewska et al., 2016; Law et al., 2017).
Although Streptomyces species have been traditionally considered as soil bacteria, in the last decades became evident their presence and wide distribution in oceanic ecosystems and associated to diverse marine organisms. Previous work in the North Atlantic region, Cantabrian Sea (Bay of Biscay), Northern Spain, revealed the presence of a great number of Streptomyces strains in intertidal seaweeds, and deep-sea coral reef invertebrates at the Aviles Canyon. New natural products with antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities against tumor cell lines were recently discovered in this submarine Canyon (Braña et al., 2015, 2017a,b; Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2015, 2016, 2017a,b).
Besides Earth and oceans, there is increasing evidence of the presence of Streptomyces strains in the atmosphere. In culture-dependent approaches, Streptomyces strains were isolated from cloud water at Puy de Dôme, Southern France (Amato et al., 2007) and repeatedly isolated from atmospheric precipitations such as rainwater, hailstone and snow in the Cantabrian region, during 2013–2014 (Braña et al., 2015; Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016). These included three ubiquitous species, Streptomyces albidoflavus, Streptomyces cyaneofuscatus, and Streptomyces carnosus, previously isolated from terrestrial and oceanic environments (Braña et al., 2015; Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016).
Following this line of evidence, we have previously proposed an atmospheric dispersion model, which follows the Earth hydrological cycle, to explain the biogeography and distribution among terrestrial, marine and atmospheric environments of Streptomyces species (Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016). According to this hypothetical cycle, oceanic bioaerosols-forming clouds contribute to streptomycetes dissemination from marine ecosystems to the atmosphere, where they undergo long distances transport by winds and finally fall down to inland and oceanic ecosystems by precipitation.
Clouds have been defined as atmospheric air masses with water condensed in ice crystals or liquid state (Amato et al., 2007). They are considered as low-temperature “aquatic” environments which contribute to transport and aerial connection between Earth ecosystems (Amato et al., 2007), having been considered as possible atmospheric oases for microorganisms (Amato et al., 2017). Recent studies at the Puy de Dôme Mountain revealed that some microorganisms are even metabolically active in clouds (Amato et al., 2017). Rainwater droplets can coalesce into hailstones which circulate inside storm clouds following unpredictable pathways (Amato et al., 2017). Biogeochemical studies on hailstones indicate that storm clouds can be considered among the most extreme habitats for microbial life on Earth. (Šantl-Temkiv et al., 2013).
Here is reported the exploration of the phylogenetic and biosynthetic diversity of atmospheric-derived Streptomyces strains collected from a storm cloud in Northern Spain, using hailstone and rainwater precipitations as natural sampling sources. This work constitutes the first large insight into the Streptomyces diversity existing in hailstone and rainwater and the natural compounds produced. Meteorological analyses addressed to estimate the air mass sources and trajectories support our previous Streptomyces dispersion cycle model.
Cloud precipitations samples, such as hailstone and rainwater, were taken during a thunderstorm discharge over the coastal location of Gijón (Asturias) in the afternoon of 14th February 2016 at 16.00 h. Gijón (43°32′ N, 5°39′ W) is located in the North of Spain (Bay of Biscay, Figure 1). The prevailing wind direction during this storm event in this area was Northwestern.
Figure 1. Sampling location. Overview of the Western European Seas (Atlantic Ocean). Star indicates the sampling location at Gijón, North of Spain (Iberian Peninsula).
Hailstone and rainwater samples from this storm event were collected in sterile recipients, while they were falling on the ground, in a terrace in front of the sea at about 30 m above sea level. Samples were stored at −20°C (hailstone) and 4°C (rain water) until immediately processing as has been reported (Braña et al., 2015).
In order to investigate the long-range transport journey of air masses that originated the precipitation event, backward trajectories were obtained using the HYSPLIT model (Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) obtained from the Global Data Assimilation System of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA (Stein et al., 2015). To track the transport pathways of air masses, 5-day backward trajectories (commonly used in bioaerosol studies) were generated using the NOAA model (http://ready.arl.noaa.gov/hypub-bin/trajtype.pl?runtype=archive) to determine the origin of a given air parcel. The sampling location for this study was used as the backward trajectory start point with altitudes of 30, 1,000, and 3,000 m, respectively above the ground level to estimate the accurate trajectories of atmospheric air masses.
Atmospheric samples were inoculated on selective agar media prepared with cycloheximide (80 μg ml−1) as antifungal and nalidixic acid (20 μg ml−1) as anti-Gram negative bacteria, using MOPS BLEB 1/6 (Oxoid) basal medium as previously reported (Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016). For selection, two different media either prepared with distilled water or with a supplement of 3.5% NaCl were used. After 2–3 weeks of incubation at 28°C, growing colonies were selected based on different morphological features and pigment production on R5A agar plates. Isolates obtained in pure cultures were conserved in 20% glycerol at −20°C, and at −70°C. For addressing halotolerance studies, MOPS BLEB 1/6 (Oxoid) was used as the basal medium, adding NaCl at of 0, 3.5, 7.0, and 10.5% (w/v) final concentrations. For secondary metabolite production streptomycetes isolates were cultured on R5A medium as previously described (Braña et al., 2015).
Agar diffusion methods were used to determine antimicrobial activities. Antibiotic production was assessed using the following indicator microorganisms: the Gram-positive bacteria Micrococcus luteus ATCC 14452 and Streptomyces 85E ATCC 55824 (Shanbhag et al., 2015), the Gram-negative Escherichia coli ESS, and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. carlsbergensis. Analyses were performed in TSA1/2 (Merck) against bacteria and in Sabouraud 1/2 (Pronadisa) against yeast. Bioassays were carried out both with agar plugs (7 mm diameter) and in parallel with different ethyl acetate extracts obtained from solid cultures of the isolates.
For phylogenetic analysis of the strains based on 16S rRNA sequences, DNA was extracted with a microbial isolation kit (Ultra Clean, MoBio Laboratories, Inc.) and standard methods were used for checking the purity (Russell and Sambrook, 2001). Partial 16S rRNA gene sequences of the bacterial strains were obtained by using the 616V (forward) and 699R (reverse) primers (Arahal et al., 2008) in PCR amplification as previously described (Braña et al., 2015). Once obtained the nucleotide sequences were compared to sequences in databases using the BLAST program (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) against the NCBI (National Centre for Biotechnology Information). The nucleotide sequences were submitted and deposited in the EMBL sequence database. Phylogenetic analysis of the strains based on 16S rRNA sequences was carried out as previously reported (Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2017a).
Plugs of R5A plates (about 7 ml) were extracted using ethyl acetate in neutral and acidic (with 1% formic acid) conditions. After evaporation, the organic fraction residue was redissolved in 100 μL of a mixture of DMSO and methanol (50:50). The analysis of the samples were performed by reversed phase liquid chromatography as has been described (Braña et al., 2014; Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016).
Samples were first analyzed and evaluated using an in-house HPLC-UV-Vis database. LC-UV-HRMS analyses were carried out as has been described (Pérez-Victoria et al., 2016) and major peaks in each chromatogram were searched against the MEDINA's internal database and also against the Dictionary of Natural Products (DNP) (Chapman and Hall/CRC, 2015).
To estimate the sources of the air masses that caused the precipitation event in the Cantabrian Sea coast, 120 h backward trajectories were determined at three different arriving heights (30, 1,000, and 3,000 m). As shown in Figure 2, the results of the NOAA meteorological analysis indicated three different routes followed by the air layers depending on the altitude. The air-mass at 30 m altitude originate from Newfoundland and Labrador (Canada); the one at 1,000 m came from the Davies Strait in the Arctic Ocean, between North Canada and West Greenland; the air layer at 3,000 m originated at Northwest Iceland. All air-masses at different altitudes crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and after 4 days reached the Iberian Peninsula precipitating as hailstones and rainwater in the North of Spain, were samples were collected. In addition, possible mixing events were detected between different air layers at different altitudes meanwhile traveling across the Atlantic Ocean (Figure 2). Thus, the estimated backward trajectories mainly revealed an oceanic route, involving both the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, but there was also a terrestrial route from continental America.
Figure 2. Five-day backward trajectories of air masses generating the storm that arrived at Gijón (North Spain) on February 14, 2016, at 16.00, calculated with the NOAA Hysplit Model with three different transects with different arriving height: red = 30 m; blue = 1,000 m; green = 3,000 m. Sampling time and place are indicated by the black asterisk.
A cultivation-dependent approach revealed in atmospheric precipitations the presence of highly diverse Streptomyces populations by using a sample of hailstone (300 ml of unfrozen hailstones) and a sample of 25 ml of rainwater. Only strains cultivable at 28°C and atmospheric pressure were recovered on selective agar plates, prepared either with 3.5% NaCl (to simulate the salt content of the Cantabrian Sea water) or without salt. The percentage of streptomycete colonies recovered on selective medium without salt was higher, approximately 66% from hailstone and 56% from rainwater, than on saline medium.
Among a total of 136 streptomycete colonies isolated on selection plates (92 colonies from hailstone and 44 from rainwater), 45 morphologically different isolates from hailstone and 14 from rainwater samples were selected after the dereplication process. None of these isolates required NaCl for growth. An important feature observed in all isolates, with a single exception, was their halotolerance. Most isolates tolerate around 7% NaCl, which doubles the salt concentration in the Cantabrian Sea (3.5% average). This is in agreement with previous studies of NaCl tolerance for the genus Streptomyces in which it was estimated that around 50% of the species tolerate up to 7% NaCl (Tresner et al., 1968).
All isolates were initially tested for antimicrobial activity using agar diffusion assays. Further 29 different bioactive strains, displaying diverse antimicrobial activities, were selected for this study (Table 1). Most of the isolates displayed antibiotic activities against M. luteus and Streptomyces 85E (Gram-positive bacteria), and also against the yeast S. cerevisiae; whereas only three strains were active against the E. coli ESS (Gram-negative).

For taxonomic identifications of the atmospheric-derived bioactive strains, we sequenced fragments of their 16S rDNA and deposited the nucleotide sequences in the EMBL database. Table 2 displays the accession numbers of the strains. Based on 16S rRNA gene alignments, phylogenetic analyses clearly demonstrated that all 29 isolates belonged to the Streptomyces genus, since all of them shared 99–100% identity with previously known Streptomyces species. The relationship between the atmospheric isolates and their closest phylogenetic relatives with indication of their isolation site is shown in Table 2. A phylogenetic tree was built to display the diversity among atmospheric isolates and assess their phylogenetic relationship (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree generated by distance matrix analysis of 16S rDNA sequences from atmospheric Streptomyces strains (highlighted) and nearest phylogenetic relatives. The numbers on branch nodes indicate bootstrap values (1,000 resamplings; only values >70% are shown). Bar represents 0.5% sequence divergence.
As shown by their identification, strains related to more than 20 different Streptomyces species have been isolated from a small sample of hailstone and rainwater (Table 2). This constitutes a significant proportion of the global number of Streptomyces species described in our planet so far, estimated in 550–823 (http://www.bacterio.net/streptomyces.html). Among 29 isolates, 15 were identified at species level and were designated with the species name (see Table 2), whereas the rest displayed 16S rDNA gene similarity to more than one species. Unfortunately, just based on these 16S rRNA sequences it is not enough to discriminate among closely related species and further assays are needed to complement the results of 16S rRNA sequence analysis for Streptomyces identification at specific level. Among identified isolates, S. albidoflavus, S. cyaneofuscatus, and S. carnosus, were repeatedly isolated in our geographical area from atmospheric precipitations, marine ecosystems (intertidal seaweeds and deep-sea corals) and terrestrial lichens. Interestingly the model species Streptomyces coelicolor, the genetically best known representative of the genus, was here isolated from hailstone; and Streptomyces albus, used as heterologous host in many laboratories, was isolated from rain water. Rare or infrequent Streptomyces species, here obtained from atmospheric precipitations, were previously isolated from highly diverse environments, mainly from the North Hemisphere (Table 2).
The habitats of known Streptomyces species closely related to the atmospheric-derived strains include soils and aquatic environments, such as oceans, lakes, and groundwater. This information was used together with the backward trajectory analysis (see above) to estimate the possible sources of airborne Streptomyces reported here.
To uncover the biosynthetic abilities of the airborne Streptomyces strains, ethyl acetate extracts were screened for secondary metabolites production by LC/UV and LC/HRMS analyses in combination with searches in UV and MS databases or the DNP after generation of a molecular formula of each peak based on HRMS results. Most of the strains displayed complex metabolic profiles revealing their high potential as a source of novel natural products (Supplementary Material 1). As an example, Figure 4 displays UV210nm chromatograms corresponding to samples A-185 and A-191 showing identified compounds.

Dereplicated components in sample A185: (1) Ketomycin, (2) Thiazinogeldanamycin, (3) 4,5-Dihydrogeldanamycin, (4) Reblastatin, (5) Herbimycin E, (6) 15R-Hydroxygeldanamycin, (7) 6-Demethoxy-6-methylgeldanamycin, (8) 8-Demethylgeldanamycin or 17-O-Demethylgeldanamycin, (9) Geldanamycin, (10) C30H40N2O10 (geldanamycin related but with a molecular formula not found in the Dictionary of Natural Products), (11) Nigericin, and (12) 30-O-Acetylnigericin. Dereplicated components in sample A191: (1) Antibiotic RK 397, (2) Flavofungin I, (3 and 4) – C36H56O9 (related to flavofungin but with a molecular formula not included in the Dictionary of Natural Products), (5) Flavofungin II, (6) Prodigiosin 25b, (7) C18H30O (molecular formula not present in the Dictionary of Natural Products as produced by prokaryotes), (8) Undecylprodigiosin, (9) Spectinabilin or Arabilin, (10) Lyngbyamide D, (11) C28H33NO5 (molecular formula not found in the Dictionary of Natural Products as produced by prokaryotes), and (12) Pamamycins.
Among a total of 138 metabolites detected by HPLC/MS in the ethyl acetate extracts of the studied strains (Supplementary Material 1), 100 were identified after metabolite profiling analysis and comparison with natural products databases (some of them only at the family level). Among identified products, 45 were reported to display biological activities as antibiotics (17 antifungal and 13 antibacterial), 29 as cytotoxic/ antitumor agents, 5 as antiviral, 3 as antiparasitic, 3 as immunosupresors, 2 as anti-inflammatory, 1 as neuroprotector, 1 as insecticide, and other compounds with physiological roles in the Streptomyces life cycle (Table 3).

Remarkably, there are 38 metabolites whose molecular formulae determined by HRMS does not correspond to any compound included in Natural Products Databases and remained unidentified. These molecules might be new natural products, and therefore constitute an excellent starting point for the discovery of new bioactive molecules with pharmaceutical interest.
We provide here the first insight ever made into the Streptomyces species diversity within a small storm cloud sample, which was collected after a hailstone and rainwater precipitation event during the afternoon of the 14th of February 2016 in the Cantabrian Sea coast (North of Spain). Our results revealed a striking richness of Streptomyces species present in the atmosphere. A generalized feature observed in the airborne strains here isolated (with a single exception) is their high halotolerance, since they mostly grew very well in culture media containing 7% NaCl, thus suggesting a marine origin. This has been previously proposed for Streptomyces species isolated from atmospheric precipitations in Northern Spain (Braña et al., 2015; Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016).
Air mass backward trajectories analysis of this precipitation event revealed two main sources, oceanic (mainly from the Arctic Ocean, Greenland and Iceland) and continental (Canada) depending on the altitude. Mixing of the different air layers during the travel was observed. All air masses crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived to continental Europe after 4 days, reaching the North of Spain where samples were collected by atmospheric precipitation. Consistent with estimated air mass backward trajectories all isolated strains are similar to previously isolated species from highly diverse environments, either marine or terrestrial, mainly from the North hemisphere. The results of Blast search from 16S rRNA partial sequences herein provided revealed the presence of 29 strains belonging to 20–25 different Streptomyces species. Bearing in mind that the currently estimated number of Streptomyces species is of 550–823, the number of species isolated during this hail event represents a non-negligible 3–4% of all Streptomyces species known so far in our planet. This fact suggests that the presence in the atmosphere could be a generalized phenomenon within the Streptomyces genus and is in agreement with our previously stablished atmospheric dispersion model (Sarmiento-Vizcaíno et al., 2016). This model has recently received further support from culture-independent report from precipitations in Japan. That work also shows seasonal variations of microbial communities in the atmosphere in correlation with estimated air mass trajectories (Hiraoka et al., 2017).
Overall, the most relevant feature of the atmospheric-derived Streptomyces strains here studied is that they represent a striking great reservoir of structurally diverse bioactive compounds (Table 3). One hundred molecules have been identified, and for 60 of them different biological activities, mainly antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral) and antitumor properties, have been previously described. Interestingly 38 potentially bioactive natural products have not been identified and their possible novelty is the subject of current active research. During the time of writing this manuscript a new natural product was identified, after purification and NMR structure elucidation, in one of the strains here isolated (unpublished results). The number of produced secondary metabolites for these strains is estimated to be much higher than the one presented here, since only diffusible apolar molecules produced in a unique culture condition (R5A medium, 28°C) were analyzed so far, and possible diffusible polar or volatile products were not analyzed. Even more, most of the Streptomyces metabolic abilities are mainly hidden, not expressed under standard culture conditions. This silent (or cryptic) potential represents most of the metabolome (Reen et al., 2015).
Our findings highlight the relevance of the atmosphere as a novel source of highly diverse Streptomyces species able to produce an incredible reservoir of natural products, which has been overlooked so far. Atmospheric precipitations might represent a relevant unexplored environment for discovering bioactive natural products with pharmacological and biotechnological interest.
