To expand the chemical diversity of secondary metabolites produced by two marine-derived enterocin- and wailupemycin-producing strains, OUCMDZ-3434 and OUCMDZ-2599, precursor feeding and solid fermentation strategies were used. Two new compounds, wailupemycins Q () and R (), were isolated from the extracts of liquid and solid fermentation of OUCMDZ-3434. Furthermore, during the fermentation of OUCMDZ-3434, -fluorobenzoic acid was added as the key biosynthetic precursor, which resulted in the isolation of eight new fluorinated enterocin and wailupemycin derivatives (-) and 10 previously reported analogues (-). From the solid fermentation extract of OUCMDZ-2599, a new sulfur-containing compound thiotetromycin B () and its known analogue thiotetromycin () were identified. Moreover, the solid fermentation strategy effectively activated the biosynthesis of siderophores (-) of strain OUCMDZ-2599. Compound showed moderate antibacterial activity against and methicillin-resistant subsp. with MIC values of 4 μg/mL. Compounds - were significantly capable of binding Fe(III).
