Abstract excerpt
Fluorescent pseudomonads secrete yellow-green siderophores named pyoverdines or pseudobactins. These comprise a dihydroxyquinoline derivative joined to a type-specific peptide and, usually, a carboxylic acid or amide. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1, six genes that encode proteins required for pyoverdine synthesis (pvd genes) have been identified previously. Expression of all of these genes requires an...
