Promiscuous Enzymes Cause Biosynthesis of Diverse Siderophores in Shewanella oneidensis.

Abstract excerpt

The siderophore synthetic system in Shewanella species is able to synthesize dozens of macrocyclic siderophores in vitro with synthetic precursors. In vivo, however, although three siderophores are produced naturally in Shewanella algae B516, which carries a lysine decarboxylase (AvbA) specific for siderophore synthesis, only one siderophore can be detected from many other Shewanella species. In this study, we...
