Summary

Streptomyces olivaceus TÜ 2718 produces the siderophore desferrioxamine E. Production depends on l-lysine and iron concentrations in the medium. With optimized conditions the yield of desferrioxamine E could be increased to 12g/1 in feeding fermentations. Supplementation of the basic production medium with natural and synthetic precursors of desferrioxamine E led to the production of twelve new analogues of desferrioxamine E.
