The impact of the plant-associated siderophore ornicorrugatin on Arabidopsis thaliana

2018

International audience; Most microorganisms produce siderophores when they are faced with iron-limiting conditions. Fluorescent pseudomonads produce a yellow-green, fluorescent siderophore, called pyoverdine. Besides pyoverdine, sev-eral other secondary siderophores, which have a relatively lower affinity for iron, have been identified in Pseu-domonas spp. Examples are pyochelin, pseudomonine and thioquinolobactin (Cornelis and Matthijs 2002). An atypical set of secondary siderophores, due to their lipopeptidic nature, are the siderophores corrugatin (Risse et al., 1998), ornicorrugatin (Matthijs et al., 2008) and histicorrugatin (Matthijs et al., 2016). These siderophores consist out of an…
