Abstract excerpt
During growth in high concentrations of iron nitrate, H. influenzae produces compounds reactive in biochemical assays for hydroxamates. Mixing experiments established that nitrate was responsible for inducing these compounds. Analysis by 1H and 13C NMR and high resolution mass spectrometry identified the active species as 2,2-bis(3'-indolyl)indoxyl. Bacterial production of the latter compound has been previously...
