Catechol amide iron chelators produced by a mangrove-derived Bacillus subtilis

Catechol amide iron chelators produced by a mangrove-derived Bacillus subtilis
A novel triscatecholamide siderophore derivative, linear tribenglthin A (1), together with well known congener, bacillibactin (2) as well as mentioned monomer unit, benglthin were found in the secondary metabolites of a magrove-derived Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii MMB-016. The structure of 1, determined by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies has an unusual nonproteinogenic amino acid, Z-dehydrobutyrine (Z-Dhb) residue to reveal a putative lantibiotic synthetase function involved in the iterative biosynthesis of non-ribosomal peptide (NRP). Our 1H–15N correlation spectroscopy of 2 resulted in a correction of previous NH assignment of bacillibactin, as well as a new evaluation of DPPH free radical scavenging potential suggested antioxidant activity. Benglthin monomer was isolated as a ferrous complex (3), unveiling an interestingly higher affinity for iron Fe(Ⅱ) than trimers, 1 and 2. No dimeric forms were found.
