Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A robust and convenient research strategy integrating state-of-the-art analytical techniques is needed to efficiently discover novel compounds from marine microbial resources. In this study, we identified a series of amino-polyketide derivatives, vitroprocines A-J, from the marine bacterium <jats:italic>Vibrio</jats:italic> sp. QWI-06 by an integrated approach using imaging mass spectroscopy and molecular networking, as well as conventional bioactivity-guided fractionation and isolation. The structure-activity relationship of vitroprocines against <jats:italic>Acinetobacter baumannii</jats:italic> is proposed. In addition, feeding experiments with <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C-labeled precursors indicated that a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-dependent mechanism is involved in the biosynthesis of vitroprocines. Elucidation of amino-polyketide derivatives from a species of marine bacteria for the first time demonstrates the potential of this integrated metabolomics approach to uncover marine bacterial biodiversity.
