Mechanisms of fragmentation of hydroxamic siderophores are proposed comparing deuterated and nondeuterated samples. Standard siderophores (e.g. deferoxamine and coprogen) were directly injected into both ion trap and linear quadrupole mass spectrometers with electrospray ionization (ESI). Four and two fragmentation steps were carried out for deferoxamine and coprogen (analyzed by positive and negative ESI, respectively). Deferoxamine cleavages occurred in both peptide and hydroxamic bonds while the coprogen fragmentation pattern is more elaborate, since it contains Fe(III) in its structure.

Significance of siderophore-producing cyanobacteria on enhancing iron uptake potentiality of maize plants grown under iron-deficiency.

Background: In response to iron deficiency and other environmental stressors, cyanobacteria producing siderophores can help in ameliorating plant stress and enhancing growth physiological and biochemical processes. The objective of this work was to screen the potential of Arthrospira platensis, Pseudanabaena limnetica, Nostoc carneum, and Synechococcus mundulus for siderophore production to select the most promising isolate, then to examine the potentiality of the isolated siderophore in promoting Zea mays seedling growth in an iron-limited environment.
Results: Data of the screening experiment illustrated that Synechococcus mundulus significantly recorded the maximum highest siderophore production (78 ± 2%) while the minimum production was recorded by Nostoc carneum (24.
Contrasting Effects of Catecholate and Hydroxamate Siderophores on Molybdenite Dissolution.

Molybdenum (Mo) is essential for many enzymes but is often sequestered within minerals, rendering it not readily bioavailable. Metallophores, metabolites secreted by microorganisms and plants, promote mineral dissolution to increase the metal bioavailability. However, interactions between metallophores and Mo-bearing minerals remain unclear.

[Zr]Zr is a radionuclide of increasing clinical relevance for PET (positron emission tomography). However, an ideal chelator for stable Zr-chelation remains to be discovered. This study describes the solid-phase synthesis of octadentate Zr-chelators based on an isopeptidic (ip) scaffold derived from the natural siderophore desferrioxamine (DFOB).

The trihydroxamic acid bacterial siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB, 1) produced by the DesABCD biosynthetic cluster coordinates metals beyond Fe(iii), which identifies potential to modify this chelator type to broaden metal sequestration and/or delivery applications. Rather than producing discrete chelators by total chemical synthesis from native monomers including -hydroxy--succinyl-cadaverine (HSC, 2), the recombinant siderophore synthetase from CNB-440 (DesD) was used with different substrate combinations to produce biocombinatorial mixtures of hydroxamic acid chelators. The mixtures were screened with Ga(iii) or Zr(iv) as surrogates of immunological positron emission tomography (PET) imaging radiometals Ga(iii) or Zr(iv) to inform known or new coordination chemistry.

Article Synopsis
- Specific bacteria produce growth-promoting substances called siderophores that help algal blooms, like Alexandrium pacificum, thrive in iron-deficient conditions, but the processes involved are not fully understood.
- Researchers isolated a bacterium, Photobacterium sp. TY1-4, from Korean waters, which boosts A. pacificum growth by utilizing its exudates and producing siderophores for iron acquisition.
- The study identified key genes in A. pacificum related to iron uptake and revealed that the presence of Photobacterium sp. TY1-4 increases iron availability while also enhancing the toxicity of the dinoflagellate, potentially impacting harmful algal bloom dynamics.
