Plasticity of the Malleobactin Pathway and Its Impact on Siderophore Action in Human Pathogenic Bacteria
14 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogenic bacteria Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, and Burkholderia thailandensis harbor a highly conserved gene cluster coding for the biosynthesis of the long sought-after malleobactins. Four new, unexpected congeners of the malleobactin family that were isolated and fully characterized in this study feature unusual deviations from the parent, ornibactin-like architecture. Thus, the...
