Catecholate Siderophores Protect Bacteria from Pyochelin Toxicity
BACKGROUND Bacteria produce small molecule iron chelators, known as siderophores, to facilitate the acquisition of iron from the environment. The synthesis of more than one siderophore and the production of multiple siderophore uptake systems by a single bacterial species are common place. The selective advantages conferred by the multiplicity of siderophore synthesis remains poorly understood....
متن کاملCatecholate Siderophores from Chryseomonas luteola*
Under iron-limited conditions many bacterial species biosynthesize Fe3+ complexing compounds, so-called siderophores. Their most common struc tural features are hydroxamate and/or catecholate units, the latter ones mostly derived from 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid attached to amino acids, amino alcohols or aliphatic diamines. We wish now to re port the isolation and structure elucidation of two c...
متن کاملAn antioxidant role for catecholate siderophores in Salmonella.
Iron acquisition is an important aspect of the host-pathogen interaction. In the case of Salmonella it is established that catecholate siderophores are important for full virulence. In view of their very high affinity for ferric iron, functional studies of siderophores have been almost exclusively focused on their role in acquisition of iron from the host. In the present study, we investigated ...
متن کاملSiderophores from neighboring organisms promote the growth of uncultured bacteria.
The majority of bacterial species do not grow on synthetic media. Many non-growers require growth factors from other bacteria, but the nature of these compounds is largely unknown. We show here that previously uncultured isolates from marine sediment biofilm grow on a Petri dish in the presence of cultured organisms from the same environment. The growth factors produced by one cultured helper s...
متن کاملIntertwined Precursor Supply during Biosynthesis of the Catecholate–Hydroxamate Siderophores Qinichelins in Streptomyces sp. MBT76
The explosive increase in genome sequencing and the advances in bioinformatic tools have revolutionized the rationale for natural product discovery from actinomycetes. In particular, this has revealed that actinomycete genomes contain numerous orphan gene clusters that have the potential to specify many yet unknown bioactive specialized metabolites, representing a huge unexploited pool of chemi...
