Natural siderophores fluorescent

Pyoverdins and Azotobactin are known examples of natural fluorescent siderophores that have been isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Azotobacter vinelandii, res-pectively ° ° . Pyoverdin Pa (171) ° and pyoverdin Pa Til (172) " are members of the pyoverdin family, which are peptide based hexadentate mixed siderophores that consist of a fluorescent chromophore dihydroxyquinoline, which provides a catecholate ligand for Fe(III) coordination in addition to two bidentate hydroxamate ligating groups.
