Many bacteria produce siderophores for sequestration of growth-essential iron. Analysis of the Salinispora genomes suggests that these marine actinomycetes support multiple hydroxamate- and phenolate-type siderophore pathways. We isolated and characterized desferrioxamines (DFOs) B and E from all three recognized Salinispora species and linked their biosyntheses in S. tropica CNB-440 and S. arenicola CNS-205 to the des locus through PCR-directed mutagenesis. Gene inactivation of the predicted iron-chelator biosynthetic loci sid2-4 did not abolish siderophore chemistry. Additionally, these pathways could not restore the native growth characteristics of the des mutants in iron-limited media, although differential iron-dependent regulation was observed for the yersiniabactin-like sid2 pathway. Consequently, this study indicates that DFOs are the primary siderophores in laboratory cultures of Salinispora.
许多细菌产生铁载体来螯合生长必需的铁。对盐单胞菌基因组的分析表明,这些海洋放线菌支持多种羟肟酸和酚盐型铁载体途径。我们从所有三种公认的盐单胞菌中分离和鉴定了去铁胺 (DFO) B 和 E,并通过 PCR 定向诱变将其在 S. tropica CNB-440 和 S. arenicola CNS-205 中的生物合成与 des 基因座联系起来。预测的铁螯合生物合成基因座 sid2-4 的基因失活并没有消除铁载体化学。此外,尽管观察到类似于耶尔森氏菌铁载体的 sid2 途径的差异铁依赖性调节,但这些途径不能恢复缺铁培养基中 des 突变体的天然生长特性。因此,本研究表明 DFO 是盐单胞菌实验室培养物中的主要铁载体。
