Abstract excerpt
The fluorescent dihydroxyquinoline chromophore of the pyoverdine siderophore in Pseudomonas is a condensation product of D-tyrosine and l-2,4-diaminobutyrate. Both pvdH and asd (encoding aspartate beta-semialdehyde dehydrogenase) knockout mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 were unable to synthesize pyoverdine under iron-limiting conditions in the absence of l-2,4-diaminobutyrate in the culture media. The pvdH...
