Abstract:
From Pseudomonas sp. CFML 96.188 a pyoverdine was isolated and its primary structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and degradation reactions. This strain is of interest as it accepts the structurally different pyoverdines from several other Pseudomonas strains. They all have in common as a specific structural feature a C-terminal cyclic substructure, the importance of which for the recognition of a pyoverdine at the cell surface of a given strain will be discussed.
