Summary

In iron free cultures Pseudomonas fluorescens secretes a polypeptide which reacts with ferric ions to form a stable complex. This iron complex called Ferribactin is a dihydroxamate and belongs to the Siderochromes. Ferribactin contains at least the following components: A mole each of glycine, L-serine, d-serine, L-glutamic acid, δ-N-hydroxy-L-ornithine, δ-N-hydroxy-d-ornithine, d-tyrosine, 3 moles of L-lysine and 2 moles of acetic acid.

Zusammenfassung

Pseudomonas fluorescens scheidet bei Anzucht unter Eisenmangel ein Polypeptid in die Nährlösung aus, das mit Ferri-Ionen einen stabilen Komplex bildet. Dieser Eisenkomplex, Ferribactin genannt, stellt ein Dihydroxamat dar und gehört zu den Siderochromen. Ferribactin enthält mindestens die folgenden Bausteine: Je 1 Mol Glycin, L-Serin, d-Serin, L-Glutaminsäure, δ-N-Hydroxy-L-ornithin, δ-N-Hydroxy-d-ornithin, d-Tyrosin, 3 Mol L-Lysin und 2 Mol Essigsäure.
