Abstract excerpt
The biosynthetic gene cluster of the myxochelin-type iron chelator was cloned from Stigmatella aurantiaca Sg a15 and characterized. This catecholate siderophore was only known from two other myxobacteria. The biosynthetic genes of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid are located in the cluster (mxcC-mxcF). Two molecules of 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid are activated and condensed with lysine in a unique way by a protein...
