pyochelin Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Uses

Pyochelin is an iron-chelating growth promoter for Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of thiazolidines that is (4R)-3-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid which is substituted at position 2 by a (4R)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl group. A siderophore, it is it i produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (via condensation of salicylic acid and two molecules of cysteine) as a mixture of two easily interconvertible diastereoisomers, pyochelin I (major) and pyochelin II (minor). The enantiomeric co pounds, enant-pyochelin, are produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens.
