Abstract excerpt
Pyoverdine I (PVDI) is the major siderophore produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to import iron. Biosynthesis of this chelator involves non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and other enzymes. PvdQ is a periplasmic enzyme from the NTN hydrolase family and is involved in the final steps of PVDI biosynthesis. A pvdQ mutant produces two non-fluorescent PVDI precursors with a higher molecular mass than PVDI. In the...
