Abstract:
Double-labelled 3H/14C-enterobactin was isolated from bacterial cultures, and evaluated as a potential tool for studying the mammalian metabolism of this iron chelator. Microbial yields were low, but adequate, with a final 3H/14C ratio of 2.95 to 1. Studies conducted with mice indicated that considerable metabolism and rapid elimination of an intraperitoneally injected sample had occurred in 24 hours.
