Abstract:
Siderophores are of high interest for biotechnological, pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications. Although they are synthesized by various organisms, the yield is usually low which hindrances their suitability for broad range uses. Thus, it is necessary to identify novel producers and to increase the understanding of the biosynthesis pathways. Herein we report the isolation of two novel Pseudomonas strains and the identification of the gene clusters for the biosynthesis of pseudomonine as well as pyochelin and pyoverdine.
