Condensation products of DHB (which usually is found also in the fermentation broth) with amino acids were reported, viz. with glycine ixom Bacillus subtilis (164) named subsequently itoic acid (282) with serine from Escherichia coli (261) and Klebsiella oxytoca (196) with threonine from Klebsiella oxytoca (196) and Rhizobium spp. (275, 327) with arginine from Pseudomonas stutzeri (62) with glycine and threonine from Rhizobium sp. (240) with threonine and lysine as well as with leucine and lysine from Azospirillum lipoferum (312, 320). In most cases the isolate (sometimes designated as being a siderophore) was hydrolyzed and the constituents were determined by paper chromatography. The relative amounts of the constituents, the chiralities of the amino acids and the molecular mass of the isolate have not been determined. Hence it is not known whether condensation products of the enterobactin type exist.

Laccases are so widely distributed in the fungi that it is very possible that this enzyme may be ubiquitous in these organisms [3,116], Laccases have also been found in a large variety of plant species [117], in about a dozen studied insects [118], and has also recently been found in the hacterium Azospirillum lipoferum [119]. Laccase has a variety of functions including participation in lignin biosynthesis [117], degradation of plant cell-walls [120,121], plant pathogenicity [122], and insect sclerotiza-tion [123].
