Abstract
We designed a tris-catecholate-based siderophore mimic, H6-T-CATL, to selectively chelate iron(III) from mitochondrial cytochromes and other iron-containing proteins within cellular matrices. This strategic sequestration aims to trigger apoptosis or ferroptosis in cancer cells through the glutathione (GSH)-dependent release of reduced iron and subsequent ROS-mediated cytotoxicity. Synthesis of H6-T-CATL involved precise peptide coupling reactions. Using the Fe(III)-porphyrin model (Fe-TPP-Cl), akin to cytochrome c, we studied H6-T-CATL's ability to extract iron(III), yielding a binding constant (Krel) of 1014 for the resulting iron(III) complex (FeIII-T-CATL)3-. This complex readily underwent GSH-mediated reduction to release bioavailable iron(II), which catalyzed Fenton-like reactions generating hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), confirmed by spectroscopic analyses. Our research underscores the potential of H6-T-CATL to induce cancer cell death by depleting iron(III) from cellular metalloproteins, releasing pro-apoptotic iron(II). Evaluation across various cancer types, including normal cells, demonstrated H6-T-CATL's cytotoxicity through ROS production, mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of ferroptosis and DNA damage pathways. These findings propose a novel mechanism for cancer therapy, leveraging endogenous iron stores within cells. H6-T-CATL emerges as a promising next-generation anticancer agent, exploiting iron metabolism vulnerabilities to induce selective cancer cell death through ferroptosis induction.

Abstract
Siderophores are small molecules of organic nature, released by bacteria to chelate iron from the surrounding environment and subsequently incorporate it into the cytoplasm. In addition to iron, these secondary metabolites can complex with a wide variety of metals, which is why they are commonly studied in the environment. Heavy metals can be very toxic when present in large amounts on the planet, affecting public health and all living organisms. The pollution caused by these toxic metals is increasing, and therefore it is urgent to find practical, sustainable, and economical solutions for remediation. One of the strategies is siderophore-assisted bioremediation, an innovative and advantageous alternative for various environmental applications. This research highlights the various uses of siderophores and metallophores in the environment, underscoring their significance to ecosystems. The study delves into the utilization of siderophores and metallophores in both marine and terrestrial settings (e.g. bioremediation, biocontrol of pathogens, and plant growth promotion), such as bioremediation, biocontrol of pathogens, and plant growth promotion, providing context for the different instances outlined in the existing literature and highlighting their relevance in each field. The study delves into the structures and types of siderophores focusing on their singular characteristics for each application and methodologies used. Focusing on recent developments over the last two decades, the opportunities and challenges associated with siderophores and metallophores applications in the environment were mapped to arm researchers in the fight against environmental pollution.

Abstract
Siderophores are well-recognized low-molecular-weight compounds produced by numerous microorganisms to acquire iron from the surrounding environments. These secondary metabolites can form complexes with other metals besides iron, forming soluble metallophores; because of that, they are widely investigated in either the medicinal or environmental field. One of the bottlenecks of siderophore research is related to the identification of new siderophores from microbial sources. Herein we have compiled a comprehensive range of standard and updated methodologies that have been developed over the past few years to provide a comprehensive toolbox in this area to current researchers.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that produces two types of siderophores, pyoverdine and pyochelin, that play pivotal roles in iron scavenging from the environment and host cells. P. aeruginosa siderophores can serve as virulence factors and perform various functions. Several bacterial and fungal species are likely to interact with P. aeruginosa due to its ubiquity in soil and water as well as its potential to cause infections in plants, animals, and humans. Siderophores produced by P. aeruginosa play critical roles in iron scavenging for prokaryotic species (bacteria) and eukaryotic hosts (fungi, animals, insects, invertebrates, and plants) as well. This review provides a comprehensive discussion of the role of P. aeruginosa siderophores in interaction with prokaryotes and eukaryotes as well as their underlying mechanisms of action. The evolutionary relationship between P. aeruginosa siderophore recognition receptors, such as FpvA, FpvB, and FptA, and those of other bacterial species has also been investigated.

Abstract
The biosynthetic potential of actinobacteria to produce novel natural products is still regarded as immense. In this paper, we correlated a cryptic biosynthetic gene cluster to chemical molecules by genome mining and chemical analyses, leading to the discovery of a new group of catecholate-hydroxamate siderophores, nobachelins, from Nocardiopsisbaichengensis DSM 44845. Nobachelin biosynthesis genes are conserved in several bacteria from the family Nocardiopsidaceae. Structurally, nobachelins feature fatty-acylated hydroxy-ornithine and a rare chlorinated catecholate group. Intriguingly, nobachelins rescued Caenorhabditiselegans from Pseudomonasaeruginosa-mediated killing.

Abstract
Among the various bacterial infections, tuberculosis (TB) remains a life-threatening infectious disease responsible as the most significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The co-infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in association with TB burdens the healthcare system substantially. Notably, M.tb possesses defence against most antitubercular antibiotic drugs, and the efficacy of existing frontline anti-TB drugs is waning. Also, new and recurring cases of TB from resistant bacteria such as multidrug-resistant TB (MDR), extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR), and totally drug-resistant TB (TDR) strains are increasing. Hence, TB begs the scientific community to explore the new therapeutic class of compounds with their novel mechanism. M.tb requires iron from host cells to sustain, grow, and carry out several biological processes. M.tb has developed strategic methods of acquiring iron from the surrounding environment. In this communication, we discuss an overview of M.tb iron-scavenging tools. Also, we have summarized recently identified MbtA and MbtI inhibitors, which prevent M.tb from scavenging iron. These iron-scavenging tool inhibitors have the potential to be developed as anti-TB agents/drugs.

Abstract
Honey bees coexist with fungi that colonize hive surfaces and pollen. Some of these fungi are opportunistic pathogens, but many are beneficial species that produce antimicrobial compounds for pollen conservation and the regulation of pathogen populations. In this study, we tested the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Talaromyces purpureogenus strains isolated from bee bread against Paenibacillus alvei (associated with European foulbrood disease) and three Aspergillus species that cause stonebrood disease. We found that methanol extracts of T. purpureogenus strains B18 and B195 inhibited the growth of P. alvei at a concentration of 0.39 mg/mL. Bioactivity-guided dereplication revealed that the activity of the crude extracts correlated with the presence of diketopiperazines, a siderophore, and three unknown compounds. We propose that non-pathogenic fungi such as Talaromyces spp. and their metabolites in bee bread could be an important requirement to prevent disease. Agricultural practices involving the use of fungicides can disrupt the fungal community and thus negatively affect the health of bee colonies.

Abstract
Siderophores have great application potential in metal pollutant remediation because of their effective cost and friendly impact on the environment. However, the practical use of siderophores in the remediation of specific metals is rather limited because of the weak nonspecific interactions between the siderophores and different metals. Thus, screening for a siderophore with optimal interaction with a specific metal would be necessary. In this study, the interaction between metal ions and moieties that donate the oxygen ligands for the coordination of four types of siderophore (hydroxamates, catecholates, phenolates, and carboxylates) was modeled and analyzed. As revealed by DFT-based analysis, the four types of siderophore generally exhibited selection preference for different metal ions in the order Ga3+ > Al3+ > Fe3+ > Cr3+ > Ni2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Co2+ > Mn2+ > Hg2+ > Pb2+ > Cd2+, which was determined mainly by the electronegativity of the siderophore functional groups, the electronegativity of the metals, and the ionic radius of the metals, as well as the interaction between the siderophores and the metals. Moreover, the effect of linear or nonlinear (cyclic) structure on the affinity of each siderophore for different metal ions was evaluated. In most situations, metal-bound cyclic siderophores were found to be more stable than their linear counterparts. Thus, proper siderophores for the remediation of metal pollution may be rapidly screened using this model.

Abstract
Siderophores are small molecules secreted by microorganisms in order to scavenge iron from the environment. An example is the thiazoline-containing natural product massiliachelin, which is produced by Massilia sp. NR 4-1 under iron-deficient conditions. Based on experimental evidence and genome analysis, it was suspected that this bacterium synthesizes further iron-chelating molecules. After a thorough inspection of its metabolic profile, six previously overlooked compounds were isolated that were active in the chrome azurol S (CAS) assay. Mass spectrometric measurements and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses identified these compounds as possible biosynthetic intermediates or shunt products of massiliachelin. Their bioactivity was tested against one Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria.

Narh Mensah DL, Wingfield BD, Coetzee MPA. Nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters and characteristics of predicted NRPS-dependent siderophore synthetases in Armillaria and other species in the Physalacriaceae. Curr Genet 2023; 69:7-24. [PMID: 36369495 DOI: 10.1007/s00294-022-01256-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
Fungal secondary metabolites are often pathogenicity or virulence factors synthesized by genes contained in secondary metabolite gene clusters (SMGCs). Nonribosomal polypeptide synthetase (NRPS) clusters are SMGCs which produce peptides such as siderophores, the high affinity ferric iron chelating compounds required for iron uptake under aerobic conditions. Armillaria spp. are mostly facultative necrotrophs of woody plants. NRPS-dependent siderophore synthetase (NDSS) clusters of Armillaria spp. and selected Physalacriaceae were investigated using a comparative genomics approach. Siderophore biosynthesis by strains of selected Armillaria spp. was evaluated using CAS and split-CAS assays. At least one NRPS cluster and other clusters were detected in the genomes studied. No correlation was observed between the number and types of SMGCs and reported pathogenicity of the species studied. The genomes contained one NDSS cluster each. All NDSSs were multi-modular with the domain architecture (ATC)3(TC)2. NDSS clusters of the Armillaria spp. showed a high degree of microsynteny. In the genomes of Desarmillaria spp. and Guyanagaster necrorhizus, NDSS clusters were more syntenic with NDSS clusters of Armillaria spp. than to those of the other Physalacriaceae species studied. Three A-domain orthologous groups were identified in the NDSSs, and atypical Stachelhaus codes were predicted for the A3 orthologous group. In vitro biosynthesis of mainly hydroxamate and some catecholate siderophores was observed. Hence, Armillaria spp. generally contain one highly conserved, NDSS cluster although some interspecific variations in the products of these clusters is expected. Results from this study lays the groundwork for future studies to elucidate the molecular biology of fungal phyto-pathogenicity.

Abstract
With the rising levels of drug resistance, developing efficient antimicrobial therapies has become a priority. A promising strategy is the conjugation of antibiotics with relevant moieties that can potentiate their activity by target-directing. The conjugation of siderophores with antibiotics allows them to act as Trojan horses by hijacking the microorganisms' highly developed iron transport systems and using them to carry the antibiotic into the cell. Through the analysis of relevant examples of the past decade, this Perspective aims to reveal the potential of siderophore-antibiotic Trojan horses for the treatment of infections and the role of siderophores in diagnostic techniques. Other conjugated molecules will be the subject of discussion, namely those involving vitamin B12, carbohydrates, and amino acids, as well as conjugated compounds targeting protein degradation and β-lactamase activated prodrugs.

A Disturbed Siderophore Transport Inhibits Myxobacterial Predation. Cells 2022; 11:cells11233718.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the intrinsic mechanisms of bacterial competition is a fundamental question. Iron is an essential trace nutrient that bacteria compete for. The most prevalent manner for iron scavenging is through the secretion of siderophores. Although tremendous efforts have focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of siderophores biosynthesis, export, uptake, and regulation of siderophores, the ecological aspects of siderophore-mediated competition are not well understood. METHODS We performed predation and bacterial competition assays to investigate the function of siderophore transport on myxobacterial predation. RESULTS Deletion of msuB, which encodes an iron chelate uptake ABC transporter family permease subunit, led to a reduction in myxobacterial predation and intracellular iron, but iron deficiency was not the predominant reason for the decrease in the predation ability of the ∆msuB mutant. We further confirmed that obstruction of siderophore transport decreased myxobacterial predation by investigating the function of a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase for siderophore biosynthesis, a TonB-dependent receptor, and a siderophore binding protein in M. xanthus. Our results showed that the obstruction of siderophores transport decreased myxobacterial predation ability through the downregulation of lytic enzyme genes, especially outer membrane vesicle (OMV)-specific proteins. CONCLUSIONS This work provides insight into the mechanism of siderophore-mediated competition in myxobacteria.

Production and Potential Genetic Pathways of Three Different Siderophore Types in Streptomyces tricolor Strain HM10. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
Siderophores are iron-chelating low-molecular-weight compounds that bind iron (Fe3+) with a high affinity for transport into the cell. The newly isolated strain Streptomyces tricolor HM10 secretes a pattern of secondary metabolites. Siderophore molecules are the representatives of such secondary metabolites. S. tricolor HM10 produces catechol, hydroxamate, and carboxylate types of siderophores. Under 20 μM FeCl3 conditions, S. tricolor HM10 produced up to 6.00 µg/mL of catechol siderophore equivalent of 2,3-DHBA (2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid) after 4 days from incubation. In silico analysis of the S. tricolor HM10 genome revealed three proposed pathways for siderophore biosynthesis. The first pathway, consisting of five genes, predicted the production of catechol-type siderophore similar to petrobactin from Bacillus anthracis str. Ames. The second proposed pathway, consisting of eight genes, is expected to produce a hydroxamate-type siderophore similar to desferrioxamine B/E from Streptomyces sp. ID38640, S. griseus NBRC 13350, and/or S. coelicolor A3(2). The third pathway exhibited a pattern identical to the carboxylate xanthoferrin siderophore from Xanthomonas oryzae. Thus, Streptomyces strain HM10 could produce three different types of siderophore, which could be an incentive to use it as a new source for siderophore production in plant growth-promoting, environmental bioremediation, and drug delivery strategy.

Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27134010. [PMID: 35807259 PMCID: PMC9268400 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27134010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Iron-deficiency-induced anemia is associated with poor neurological development, including decreased learning ability, altered motor functions, and numerous pathologies. Siderophores are iron chelators with low molecular weight secreted by microorganisms. The proposed catechol-type pathway was identified based on whole-genome sequences and bioinformatics tools. The intended pathway consists of five genes involved in the biosynthesis process. Therefore, the isolated catechol-type siderophore (Sid) from Streptomyces tricolor HM10 was evaluated through an anemia-induced rat model to study its potential to accelerate recovery from anemia. Rats were subjected to an iron-deficient diet (IDD) for 42 days. Anemic rats (ARs) were then divided into six groups, and normal rats (NRs) fed a standard diet (SD) were used as a positive control group. For the recovery experiment, ARs were treated as a group I; fed an IDD (AR), group II; fed an SD (AR + SD), group III, and IV, fed an SD with an intraperitoneal injection of 1 μg Sid Kg-1 (AR + SD + Sid1) and 5 μg Sid Kg-1 (AR + SD + Sid5) twice per week. Group V and VI were fed an iron-enriched diet (IED) with an intraperitoneal injection of 1 μg Sid Kg-1 (AR + IED + Sid1) and 5 μg Sid Kg-1 (AR + IED + Sid5) twice per week, respectively. Weight gain, food intake, food efficiency ratio, organ weight, liver iron concentration (LIC) and plasma (PIC), and hematological parameters were investigated. The results showed that ~50-60 mg Sid L-1 medium could be producible, providing ~25-30 mg L-1 purified Sid under optimal conditions. Remarkably, the AR group fed an SD with 5 μg Sid Kg-1 showed the highest weight gain. The highest feed efficiency was observed in the AR + SD + Sid5 group, which did not significantly differ from the SD group. Liver, kidneys, and spleen weight indicated that diet and Sid concentration were related to weight recovery in a dose-dependent manner. Liver iron concentration (LIC) in the AR + IED + Sid1 and AR + IED + Sid5 groups was considerably higher than in the AR + SD + Sid1 AR + SD + Sid5 groups or the AR + SD group compared to the AR group. All hematological parameters in the treated groups were significantly closely attenuated to SD groups after 28 days, confirming the efficiency of the anemia recovery treatments. Significant increases were obtained in the AR + SD + Sid5 and AR + IED + Sid5 groups on day 14 and day 28 compared to the values for the AR + SD + Sid1 and AR + IED + Sid1 groups. The transferrin saturation % (TSAT) and ferritin concentration (FC) were significantly increased with time progression in the treated groups associatively with PIC. In comparison, the highest significant increases were noticed in ARs fed IEDs with 5 μg Kg-1 Sid on days 14 and 28. In conclusion, this study indicated that Sid derived from S. tricolor HM10 could be a practical and feasible iron-nutritive fortifier when treating iron-deficiency-induced anemia (IDA). Further investigation focusing on its mechanism and kinetics is needed.

Abstract
Opportunistic pathogens belonging to the genus Legionella are among the most reported waterborne-associated pathogens in industrialized countries. Legionella colonize a variety of engineered aquatic ecosystems and persist in biofilms where they interact with a multitude of other resident microorganisms. In this review, we assess how some of these interactions could be used to develop a biological-driven “probiotic” control approach against Legionella. We focus on: (i) mechanisms limiting the ability of Legionella to establish and replicate within some of their natural protozoan hosts; (ii) exploitative and interference competitive interactions between Legionella and other microorganisms; and (iii) the potential of predatory bacteria and phages against Legionella. This field is still emergent, and we therefore specifically highlight research for future investigations, and propose perspectives on the feasibility and public acceptance of a potential probiotic approach.

Abstract
In this study, a strain of Anabaena flos-aquae UTEX 1444 was cultivated in six different concentrations of iron (III). Cultures were extracted with organic solvents and analyzed using our dereplication strategy, based on the combined use of high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry and molecular networking. The analysis showed the presence of the siderophores’ family, named synechobactins, only in the zero iron (III) treatment culture. Seven unknown synechobactin variants were present in the extract, and their structures have been determined by a careful HRMS/MS analysis. This study unveils the capability of Anabaena flos-aquae UTEX 1444 to produce a large array of siderophores and may be a suitable model organism for a sustainable scale-up exploitation of such bioactive molecules, for the bioremediation of contaminated ecosystems, as well as in drug discovery.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of the hydroxamic acid siderophore desferrioxamine D1 (DFOD1, 6), which is the N-acetylated analogue of desferrioxamine B (DFOB, 5), has been delineated. Enzyme-independent Ac-CoA-mediated N-acetylation of 5 produced 6, in addition to three constitutional isomers containing an N-O-acetyl group installed at either one of the three hydroxamic acid groups of 5. The formation of N-Ac-DFOB (DFOD1, 6) and the composite of N-O-acetylated isomers N-O-Ac-DFOB[001] (6a), N-O-Ac-DFOB[010] (6b), and N-O-Ac-DFOB[100] (6c) (defined as the N-O-Ac motif positioned within the terminal amine, internal, or N-acetylated region of 5, respectively), was pH-dependent, with 6a-6c dominant at pH < 8.5 and 6 dominant at pH > 8.5. The trend in the pH dependence was consistent with the pKa values of the NH3+ (pKa ∼ 10) and N-OH (pKa ∼ 8.5-9) groups in 5. The N- and N-O-acetyl motifs can be conceived as a post-biosynthetic modification (PBM) of a nonproteinaceous secondary metabolite, akin to a post-translational modification (PTM) of a protein. The pH-labile N-O-acetyl group could act as a reversible switch to modulate the properties and functions of secondary metabolites, including hydroxamic acid siderophores. An alternative (most likely minor) biosynthetic pathway for 6 showed that the nonribosomal peptide synthetase-independent siderophore synthetase DesD was competent in condensing N'-acetyl-N-succinyl-N-hydroxy-1,5-diaminopentane (N'-Ac-SHDP, 7) with the dimeric hydroxamic acid precursor (AHDP-SHDP, 4) native to 5 biosynthesis to generate 6. The strategy of diversifying protein structure and function using PTMs could be paralleled in secondary metabolites with the use of PBMs.

Abstract
Iron dysregulation, dopamine depletion, cellular oxidative stress and α-synuclein protein mis-folding are key neuronal pathological features seen in the progression of Parkinson's disease. Iron chelators endowed with one or more therapeutic modes of action have long been suggested as disease modifying therapies for its treatment. In this study, novel 1-hydroxypyrazin-2(1H)-one iron chelators were synthesized and their physicochemical properties, iron chelation abilities, antioxidant capacities and neuroprotective effects in a cell culture model of Parkinson's disease were evaluated. Physicochemical properties (log β, log D7.4, pL0.5) suggest that these ligands have a poorer ability to penetrate cell membranes and form weaker iron complexes than the closely related 1-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones. Despite this, we show that levels of neuroprotection provided by these ligands against the catecholaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine in vitro were comparable to those seen previously with the 1-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones and the clinically used iron chelator Deferiprone, with two of the ligands restoring cell viability to ≥89% compared to controls. Two of the ligands were endowed with additional phenol moieties in an attempt to derive multifunctional chelators with dual iron chelation/antioxidant activity. However, levels of neuroprotection with these ligands were no greater than ligands lacking this moiety, suggesting the neuroprotective properties of these ligands are due primarily to chelation and passivation of intracellular labile iron, preventing the generation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species that otherwise lead to the neuronal cell death seen in Parkinson's disease. We report that novel 1-hydroxypyazin-2(1H)-ones show comparable neuroprotective effects to related iron chelators in a cell culture model of Parkinson's disease, despite significant differences in their physicochemical properties.![]()

Microorganisms 2021; 10:51. [PMID: 35056500 PMCID: PMC8780112 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10010051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Agricultural sustainability is of foremost importance for maintaining high food production. Irresponsible resource use not only negatively affects agroecology, but also reduces the economic profitability of the production system. Among different resources, soil is one of the most vital resources of agriculture. Soil fertility is the key to achieve high crop productivity. Maintaining soil fertility and soil health requires conscious management effort to avoid excessive nutrient loss, sustain organic carbon content, and minimize soil contamination. Though the use of chemical fertilizers have successfully improved crop production, its integration with organic manures and other bioinoculants helps in improving nutrient use efficiency, improves soil health and to some extent ameliorates some of the constraints associated with excessive fertilizer application. In addition to nutrient supplementation, bioinoculants have other beneficial effects such as plant growth-promoting activity, nutrient mobilization and solubilization, soil decontamination and/or detoxification, etc. During the present time, high energy based chemical inputs also caused havoc to agriculture because of the ill effects of global warming and climate change. Under the consequences of climate change, the use of bioinputs may be considered as a suitable mitigation option. Bioinoculants, as a concept, is not something new to agricultural science, however; it is one of the areas where consistent innovations have been made. Understanding the role of bioinoculants, the scope of their use, and analysing their performance in various environments are key to the successful adaptation of this technology in agriculture.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is an obligate intracellular pathogen that lives within the phagosome of macrophages. Here we demonstrate that the siderophore mycobactin J, produced by the closely related intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, is toxic to murine macrophage cells. Its median lethal dose, 10 μM, is lower than that of the iron chelators desferrioxamine B and TrenCAM, an enterobactin analog. To determine the source of this toxicity, we conducted microarray, ELISA, and metabolite profiling experiments. The primary response is hypoxia-like, which implies iron starvation as the underlying cause of the toxicity. This observation is consistent with our recent finding that mycobactin J is a stronger iron chelator than had been inferred from previous studies. Mycobactin J is known to partition into cell membranes and hydrophobic organelles indicating that enhanced membrane penetration is also a likely factor. Thus, mycobactin J is shown to be toxic, eliciting a hypoxia-like response under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Mine wastes pollute the environment with metals and metalloids in toxic concentrations, causing problems for humans and wildlife. Microorganisms colonize and inhabit mine wastes, and can influence the environmental mobility of metals through metabolic activity, biogeochemical cycling and detoxification mechanisms. In this article we review the microbiology of the metals and metalloids most commonly associated with mine wastes: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc. We discuss the molecular mechanisms by which bacteria, archaea, and fungi interact with contaminant metals and the consequences for metal fate in the environment, focusing on long-term field studies of metal-impacted mine wastes where possible. Metal contamination can decrease the efficiency of soil functioning and essential element cycling due to the need for microbes to expend energy to maintain and repair cells. However, microbial communities are able to tolerate and adapt to metal contamination, particularly when the contaminant metals are essential elements that are subject to homeostasis or have a close biochemical analog. Stimulating the development of microbially reducing conditions, for example in constructed wetlands, is beneficial for remediating many metals associated with mine wastes. It has been shown to be effective at low pH, circumneutral and high pH conditions in the laboratory and at pilot field-scale. Further demonstration of this technology at full field-scale is required, as is more research to optimize bioremediation and to investigate combined remediation strategies. Microbial activity has the potential to mitigate the impacts of metal mine wastes, and therefore lessen the impact of this pollution on planetary health.

Abstract
Recently, the siderophores have opened new horizons in nanomedicine. The current study aimed to design a theranostic platform based on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles-pyoverdine (SPION/PVD) conjugates bound to MUC1 aptamer (MUC1Apt) and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) as an anti-cancer agent. The SPION/PVD complex was covalently conjugated to MUC1Apt and loaded with DOX to prepare a targeted drug delivery system (SPION/PVD/MUC1Apt/DOX). The investigation of cellular cytotoxicity and uptake of formulations by MTT and flow cytometry in both MUC1 positive (C26) and MUC1 negative (CHO) cell lines revealed that MUC1Apt could improve both cellular uptake and toxicity in the C26 cell line. The evaluation of tumor-targeting activity by in vivo bio-distribution showed that the targeted formulation could enhance tumor inhibitory growth effect and survival rate in C26 tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, the potential of synthesized SPION/PVD/MUC1Apt/DOX complex as diagnostic agents was investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which improved the contrast of tumor site in MRI. Our findings confirm that aptamer-targeted PVD chelated the SPION as a diagnostic agent and loaded with DOX as a chemotherapeutic drug, would be beneficial as a novel theranostic platform.

Abstract
Industrial processes and mining of coal and metal ores are generating a number of threats by polluting natural water bodies. Contamination of heavy metals (HMs) in water and soil is the most serious problem caused by industrial and mining processes and other anthropogenic activities. The available literature suggests that existing conventional technologies are costly and generated hazardous waste that necessitates disposal. So, there is a need for cheap and green approaches for the treatment of such contaminated wastewater. Bioremediation is considered a sustainable way where fungi seem to be good bioremediation agents to treat HM-polluted wastewater. Fungi have high adsorption and accumulation capacity of HMs and can be potentially utilized. The most important biomechanisms which are involved in HM tolerance and removal by fungi are bioaccumulation, bioadsorption, biosynthesis, biomineralisation, bioreduction, bio-oxidation, extracellular precipitation, intracellular precipitation, surface sorption, etc. which vary from species to species. However, the time, pH, temperature, concentration of HMs, the dose of fungal biomass, and shaking rate are the most influencing factors that affect the bioremediation of HMs and vary with characteristics of the fungi and nature of the HMs. In this review, we have discussed the application of fungi, involved tolerance and removal strategies in fungi, and factors affecting the removal of HMs.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of a marine sponge-associated Bacillus sp. led to the discovery of bacillibactins E and F (1 and 2). Despite containing the well-established cyclic triester core of iron-binding natural products such as enterobactin, bacillibactins E and F (1 and 2) are the first bacterial siderophores that contain nicotinic and benzoic acid moieties. The structures of the new compounds, including their absolute configurations, were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and Marfey's method. A plausible biosynthetic pathway to 1 and 2 is proposed; this route bears great similarity to other previously established bacillibactin-like pathways but appears to differentiate itself by a promiscuous DhbE, which likely installs the nicotinic moiety of 1 and the benzoic acid group of 2.

Abstract
A solid-phase platform for the precise and sequential synthesis of enterobactin analogues is described. This chemistry unites the power of solid-phase peptide synthesis with the unique opportunities and applications offered by siderophore chemistry. Here, a series of hybrid enterobactin hydroxamate/catecholate (HEHC) analogues were synthesized using both catechols and amino acid derived hydroxmate chelators. The HEHC analogues were evaluated for their ability to bind free iron and to promote growth in siderophore-auxotrophic mutant bacteria. We find that, in contrast to S. aureus or E. coli, a number of HEHC analogues promote growth in P. aeruginosa and structure-activity relationships (SARs) exist for the growth promotion via HEHC analogues in this organism.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder associated in some instances with dyshomeostasis of redox-active metal ions, such as copper and iron. In this work, we investigated whether the conjugation of various aromatic amines would improve the pharmacological efficacy of the iron chelator desferrioxamine (DFO). Conjugates of DFO with aniline (DFOANI), benzosulfanylamide (DFOBAN), 2-naphthalenamine (DFONAF) and 6-quinolinamine (DFOQUN) were obtained and their properties examined. DFOQUN had good chelating activity, promoted a significant increase in the inhibition of β-amyloid peptide aggregation when compared to DFO, and also inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity both in vitro and in vivo (Caenorhabditis elegans). These data indicate that the covalent conjugation of a strong iron chelator to an AChE inhibitor offers a powerful approach for the amelioration of iron-induced neurotoxicity symptoms.

Abstract
Iron is a key transition metal required by most microorganisms and is prominently utilised in the transfer of electrons during metabolic reactions. The acquisition of iron is essential and becomes a crucial pathogenic event for opportunistic fungi. Iron is not readily available in the natural environment as it exists in its insoluble ferric form, i.e., in oxides and hydroxides. During infection, the host iron is bound to proteins such as transferrin, ferritin, and haemoglobin. As such, access to iron is one of the major hurdles that fungal pathogens must overcome in an immunocompromised host. Thus, these opportunistic fungi utilise three major iron acquisition systems to overcome this limiting factor for growth and proliferation. To date, numerous iron acquisition pathways have been fully characterised, with key components of these systems having major roles in virulence. Most recently, proteins involved in these pathways have been linked to the development of antifungal resistance. Here, we provide a detailed review of our current knowledge of iron acquisition in opportunistic fungi, and the role iron may have on the development of resistance to antifungals with emphasis on species of the fungal basal lineage order Mucorales, the causative agents of mucormycosis.

Fungicide-Tolerant Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Mitigate Physiological Disruption of White Radish Caused by Fungicides Used in the Field Cultivation. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:E7251.

Abstract
Excessive use of fungicides in agriculture may result in substantial accumulation of active residues in soil, which affect crop health and yield. We investigated the response of Raphanus sativus (white radish) to fungicides in soil and potential beneficial interactions of radish plants with fungicide-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The PGPR were isolated from cabbage and mustard rhizospheres. Morphological and biochemical characteristics measured using standard methods, together with analysis of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that fungicide-tolerant PGPR, isolates PS3 and AZ2, were closely related to Pseudomonas spp. These PGPR survived in the presence of high fungicide concentrations i.e., up to 2400 μg mL-1 carbendazim (CBZM) and 3200 μg mL-1 hexaconazole (HEXA). Bacterial isolates produced plant growth stimulants even under fungicide stress, though fungicides induced surface morphological distortion and alteration in membrane permeability of these bacteria, which was proved by a set of microscopic observations. Fungicides considerably affected the germination efficiency, growth, and physiological development of R. sativus, but these effects were relieved when inoculated with PGPR isolates. For instance, CBZM at 1500 mg kg-1 decreased whole dry biomass by 71%, whole plant length by 54%, total chlorophyll by 50%, protein content by 61%, and carotenoid production by 29%. After applying isolate AZ2 for white radish grown in CBZM (10 mg kg-1)-amended soil, it could improve plant growth and development with increased whole plant dry weight (10%), entire plant length (13%) and total chlorophyll content (18%). Similarly, isolate PS3 enhanced plant survival by relieving plant stress with declined biomarkers, i.e., proline (12%), malondialdehyde (3%), ascorbate peroxidase (6.5%), catalase (18%), and glutathione reductase (4%). Application of isolates AZ2 and PS3 could be effective for remediation of fungicide-contaminated soil and for improving the cultivation of radish plants while minimizing inputs of fungicides.

Among all possible small molecules (not greater than 5 kDa), only a few of them are biologically active. Natural product libraries may have a higher rate of finding "hits" than synthetic libraries, even with the use of fewer compounds. This is due to the complementarity between the "chemical space" of small molecules and biological macromolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA, in addition to the three-dimensional complexity of NPs. Chemical probes are molecules which aid in the elucidation of the biological mechanisms behind the action of drugs or drug-like molecules by binding with macromolecular/cellular interaction partners. Probe development and application have been spurred by advancements in photoaffinity label synthesis, affinity chromatography, activity based protein profiling (ABPP) and instrumental methods such as cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and advanced/hyphenated mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, as well as genome sequencing and bioengineering technologies. In this review, we restrict ourselves to a survey of natural products (including peptides/mini-proteins and excluding antibodies), which have been applied largely in the last 5 years for the target identification of drugs/drug-like molecules used in research on infectious diseases, and the description of their mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Current paleontological techniques to separate vertebrate fossils from encasing iron-rich cements by chemical means are limited by the low solubility of common iron(III) hydroxide oxides such as hematite and goethite. This study examines novel geochemical extractions capable of selectively dissolving iron(III) hydroxide oxides, in aqueous solutions of pH 9-11, without damaging fossilised bones or teeth (hydroxidecarbonate-apatite). This involves the siderophore ligands pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH), salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH), and acetohydroxamic acid (aHA), whose coordination complexes with iron(III) show exceptionally high formation stability constants. The methods have been tested on natural hematite and fossil containing samples from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in Australia. Both 0.01 mol dm-3 aHA and 0.001 mol dm-3 PIH at pH 9.7 were able to dissolve over 0.1 mmol dm-3 of the goethite coating bone fragments.

Abstract
Iron, which is described as the most basic component found in nature, is hard to be assimilated by microorganisms. It has become increasingly complicated to obtain iron from nature as iron (II) in the presence of oxygen oxidized to press (III) oxide and hydroxide, becoming unsolvable at neutral pH. Microorganisms appeared to produce organic molecules known as siderophores in order to overcome this condition. Siderophore's essential function is to connect with iron (II) and make it dissolvable and enable cell absorption. These siderophores, apart from iron particles, have the ability to chelate various other metal particles that have collocated away to focus the use of siderophores on wound care items. There is a severe clash between the host and the bacterial pathogens during infection. By producing siderophores, small ferric iron-binding molecules, microorganisms obtain iron. In response, host immune cells produce lipocalin 2 to prevent bacterial reuptake of siderophores loaded with iron. Some bacteria are thought to produce lipocalin 2-resistant siderophores to counter this risk. The aim of this article is to discuss the recently described roles and applications of bacterial siderophore.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of preorganized tripodal enterobactin/corynebactin-type ligands (consisting of a C3-symmetric macrocyclic peptoid core, three catecholamide coordinating units, and C2, C4, and C6 spacers) is reported. The formation of complexes with Fe3+ was investigated by spectrophotometric (UV-Vis) and spectrometric (ESI, negative ionization mode) methods and corroborated by theoretical (DFT) calculations. Preliminary studies revealed the intricate interplay between the conformational chirality of cyclic trimeric peptoids and metal coordination geometry of mononuclear species similar to that of natural catechol-based siderophores. Experimental results demonstrated the unexpected formation of unique dinuclear Fe3+ complexes.

Abstract
Twenty fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates were tested for their ability to produce siderophores on chrome azurol S (CAS) agar plates and their antagonistic activity against six plant pathogenic fungal isolates was assessed. Scaling-up production of siderophores from the promising isolates, P. aeruginosa F2 and P. fluorescens JY3 was performed using batch and exponential fed-batch fermentation. Finally, culture broth of the investigated bacterial isolates was used for the preparation of two economical bioformulations for controlling Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani. The results showed that both isolates yielded high siderophore production and they were more effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth of the tested fungi compared to the other bacterial isolates. Exponential fed-batch fermentation gave higher siderophore concentrations (estimated in 10 µL), which reached 67.05% at 46 h and 45.59% at 48 h for isolates F2 and JY3, respectively, than batch fermentation. Formulated P. aeruginosa F2 and P. fluorescens JY3 decreased the damping-off percentage caused by F. oxysporum with the same percentage (80%), while, the reduction in damping-off percentage caused by R. solani reached 87.49% and 62.5% for F2 and JY3, respectively. Furthermore, both formulations increased the fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots of wheat plants. In conclusion, bio-friendly formulations of siderophore-producing fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates can be used as biocontrol agents for controlling some plant fungal diseases.

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is becoming a potential pollutant with the passage of time. Higher intake of Cr does not only affect the productivity of crops, but also the quality of food produced in Cr polluted soils. In the past, foliar application of Fe is widely studied regarding their potential to alleviate Cr toxicity. However, limited information is documented regarding the combined use of PGPR and foliar Fe. Therefore, the current study was conducted to screen Cr tolerant PGPR and examine effect of foliar Fe with and without Cr tolerant PGPR under Cr toxicity (50 and 100 mg kg-1) in maize (Zea mays) production. Out of 15, two Cr tolerant PGPR were screened, identified (Agrobacterium fabrum and Leclercia adecarboxylata) and inoculated with 500 μM Fe. Results confirmed that Agrobacterium fabrum + 500 μM Fe performed significantly best in improving dry weight of roots and shoot, plant height, roots and shoot length and plant leaves in maize under Cr toxicity. A significant increase in chlorophyll a (51.5%), b (55.1%) and total (32.5%) validated the effectiveness of A. fabrum + 500 μM Fe to alleviate Cr toxicity. Improvement in intake of N (64.7%), P (70.0 and 183.3%), K (53.8% and 3.40-fold) in leaves and N (25.6 and 122.2%), P (25.6 and 122.2%), K (33.3% and 97.3%) in roots of maize at Cr50 and Cr100 confirmed that combined application of A. fabrum with 500 μM Fe is a more efficacious approach for alleviation of Cr toxicity and fortification of Fe comparative to sole foliar application of 500 μM Fe.

Abstract
Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) is caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood nematode, and affects several species of pine trees worldwide. The ecosystem of the Pinus pinaster trees was investigated as a source of bacteria producing metabolites affecting this ecosystem: P. pinaster trees as target-plant, nematode as disease effector and its insect-vector as shuttle. For example, metals and metal-carrying compounds contribute to the complex tree-ecosystems. This work aimed to detect novel secondary metabolites like metallophores and related molecules produced under iron limitation by PWD-associated bacteria and to test their activity on nematodes. After screening 357 bacterial strains from Portugal and United States, two promising metallophore-producing strains Erwinia sp. A41C3 and Rouxiella sp. Arv20#4.1 were chosen and investigated in more detail. The genomes of these strains were sequenced, analyzed, and used to detect genetic potential for secondary metabolite production. A combinatorial approach of liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) linked to molecular networking was used to describe these compounds. Two major metabolites were detected by HPLC analyses and described. One HPLC fraction of strain Arv20#4.1 showed to be a hydroxamate-type siderophore with higher affinity for chelation of Cu. The HPLC fraction of strain A41C3 with highest metal affinity showed to be a catecholate-type siderophore with higher affinity for chelation of Fe. LC-MS allowed the identification of several desferrioxamines from strain Arv20#4.1, in special desferrioxamine E, but no hit was obtained in case of strain A41C3 which might indicate that it is something new. Bacteria and their culture supernatants showed ability to attract C. elegans. HPLC fractions of those supernatant-extracts of Erwinia strain A41C3, enriched with secondary metabolites such as siderophores, were able to kill pinewood nematode. These results suggest that metabolites secreted under iron limitation have potential to biocontrol B. xylophilus and for management of Pine Wilt Disease.

Siderophore-Mediated Iron Acquisition Enhances Resistance to Oxidative and Aromatic Compound Stress in Cupriavidus necator JMP134. Appl Environ Microbiol 2018; 85:AEM.01938-18.

Abstract
Many bacteria secrete siderophores to enhance iron uptake under iron-restricted conditions. In this study, we found that Cupriavidus necator JMP134, a well-known aromatic pollutant-degrading bacterium, produces an unknown carboxylate-type siderophore named cupriabactin to overcome iron limitation. Using genome mining, targeted mutagenesis, and biochemical analysis, we discovered an operon containing six open reading frames (cubA-F) in the C. necator JMP134 genome that encodes proteins required for the biosynthesis and uptake of cupriabactin. As the dominant siderophore of C. necator JMP134, cupriabactin promotes the growth of C. necator JMP134 under iron-limited conditions via enhanced ferric iron uptake. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the iron concentration-dependent expression of the cub operon is mediated by the ferric uptake regulator (Fur). Physiological analyses revealed that the cupriabactin-mediated iron acquisition system influences swimming motility, biofilm formation, and resistance to oxidative and aromatic compound stress in C. necator JMP134. In conclusion, we identified a carboxylate-type siderophore named cupriabactin, which plays important roles in iron scavenging, bacterial motility, biofilm formation, and stress resistance.IMPORTANCE Since siderophores have been widely exploited for agricultural, environmental, and medical applications, the identification and characterization of new siderophores from different habitats and organisms will have great beneficial applications. Here, we identified a novel siderophore-producing gene cluster in C. necator JMP134. This gene cluster produces a previously unknown carboxylate siderophore, cupriabactin. Physiological analyses revealed that the cupriabactin-mediated iron acquisition system influences swimming motility, biofilm formation, and oxidative stress resistance. Most notably, this system also plays important roles in increasing the resistance of C. necator JMP134 to stress caused by aromatic compounds, which provide a promising strategy to engineer more efficient approaches to degrade aromatic pollutants.

Abstract
Cupriachelin is a photoreactive lipopeptide siderophore produced by the freshwater bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16. In the presence of sunlight, the iron-loaded siderophore undergoes photolytic cleavage, thereby releasing solubilized iron into the environment. This iron is not only available to the siderophore producer, but also to the surrounding microbial community. In this study, the cupriachelin-based interaction between C. necator H16 and the freshwater diatom Navicula pelliculosa was investigated. A reporter strain of the bacterium was constructed to study differential expression levels of the cupriachelin biosynthesis gene cucJ in response to varying environmental conditions. Not only iron starvation, but also culture supernatants of N. pelliculosa were found to induce cupriachelin biosynthesis. The transcription factors involved in this differential gene expression were identified using DNA-protein pulldown assays. Besides the well-characterized ferric uptake regulator, a two-component system was found to tune the expression of cupriachelin biosynthesis genes in the presence of diatom supernatants.

Abstract
Myxobacteria utilize the catechol natural products myxochelin A and B in order to maintain their iron homeostasis. Recently, the production of these siderophores, along with a new myxochelin derivative named pseudochelin A, was reported for the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas piscicida S2040. The latter derivative features a characteristic imidazoline moiety, which was proposed to originate from an intramolecular condensation reaction of the β-aminoethyl amide group in myxochelin B. To identify the enzyme catalyzing this conversion, we compared the myxochelin regulons of two myxobacterial strains that produce solely myxochelin A and B with those of P. piscicida S2040. This approach revealed a gene exclusive to the myxochelin regulon in P. piscicida S2040, coding for an enzyme of the amidohydrolase superfamily. To prove that this enzyme is indeed responsible for the postulated conversion, the reaction was reconstituted in vitro using a hexahistidine-tagged recombinant protein made in Escherichia coli, with myxochelin B as the substrate. To test the production of pseudochelin A under in vivo conditions, the amidohydrolase gene was cloned into the myxobacterial plasmid pZJY156 and placed under the control of a copper-inducible promoter. The resulting vector was introduced into the myxobacterium Myxococcus xanthus DSM 16526, a native producer of myxochelin A and B. Following induction with copper, the myxobacterial expression strain was found to synthesize small quantities of pseudochelin A. Replacement of the copper-inducible promoter with the constitutive pilA promoter led to increased production levels in M. xanthus, which facilitated the isolation and subsequent structural verification of the heterologously produced compound.IMPORTANCE In this study, an enzyme for imidazoline formation in pseudochelin biosynthesis was identified. Evidence for the involvement of this enzyme in the postulated reaction was obtained after in vitro reconstitution. Furthermore, the function of this enzyme was demonstrated in vivo by transferring the corresponding gene into the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, which thereby became a producer of pseudochelin A. In addition to clarifying the molecular basis of imidazoline formation in siderophore biosynthesis, we describe the heterologous expression of a gene in a myxobacterium without chromosomal integration. Due to its metabolic proficiency, M. xanthus represents an interesting alternative to established host systems for the reconstitution and manipulation of biosynthetic pathways. Since the plasmid used in this study is easily adaptable for the expression of other enzymes as well, we expand the conventional expression strategy for myxobacteria, which is based on the integration of biosynthetic genes into the host genome.

Glyphosate induced toxicity to chickpea plants and stress alleviation by herbicide tolerant phosphate solubilizing Burkholderia cepacia PSBB1 carrying multifarious plant growth promoting activities. 3 Biotech 2018; 8:131.

Abstract
In this study, strain PSBB1 isolated from Vicia faba rhizosphere was identified as Burkholderia cepacia, by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and characterized. Strain PSBB1 tolerated glyphosate up to 3200 μg ml-1 and produced IAA (81.6 μg ml-1), ACC deaminase (69.3 mg-1 protein h-1), SA (39.3 μg ml-1) and 2,3-DHBA (26.6 μg ml-1), solubilized insoluble P (50.8 μg ml-1) and secreted 29.4 μg ml-1 exopolysaccharides, which decreased with increasing concentrations of glyphosate. Cell damage following glyphosate application was visible under SEM and CLSM. The phytotoxicity of glyphosate on chickpea was variable but significant. B. cepacia mitigated toxicity and enhanced the size, dry matter, symbiosis, seed attributes and nutritional contents of chickpea. Further, B. cepacia strain PSBB1 declined the levels of CAT, POD, APX and GPX and MDA contents at 4332 μg kg-1 soil glyphosate. Proline also increased under glyphosate stress but declined in B. cepacia inoculated plants. The ability to tolerate higher concentration of glyphosate, the capacity to secrete plant growth regulators even under herbicide stress and potential to reduce the level of proline and antioxidant enzymes makes B. cepacia as an interesting choice for enhancing chickpea production in soils contaminated even with herbicides.

Abstract
A nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster (sfa) was identified in Streptomyces thioluteus to direct the biosynthesis of the diisonitrile antibiotic SF2768. Its biosynthetic pathway was reasonably proposed based on bioinformatics analysis, metabolic profiles of mutants, and the elucidation of the intermediate and shunt product structures. Bioinformatics-based alignment found a putative ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter related to iron import within the biosynthetic gene cluster, which implied that the product might be a siderophore. However, characterization of the metal-binding properties by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), metal-ligand titration, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and chrome azurol S (CAS) assays revealed that the final product SF2768 and its diisonitrile derivatives specifically bind copper, rather than iron, to form stable complexes. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis revealed that the intracellular cupric content of S. thioluteus significantly increased upon incubation with the copper-SF2768 complex, direct evidence for the copper acquisition function of SF2768. Further in vivo functional characterization of the transport elements for the copper-SF2768 complexes not only confirmed the chalkophore identity of the compound but also gave initial clues into the copper uptake mechanism of this nonmethanotrophic microorganism.
