Abstract
A catecholate siderophore - anachelin - has been isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica CCAP 1403/2A. The central part of the siderophore is a tripeptide consisting of ʟ-Thr, ᴅ-Ser and ʟ-Ser. Its C-terminus is linked amidically to a 1,1-dimethyl-3-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7,8-dihydroxyquinolinium system and its N-terminus to 6-amino-3,5,7-trihydroxyheptanoic acid. The 7-hydroxyl group of the latter is esterified with salicylic acid whose carboxyl group is condensed with the 6-amino group to an oxazoline ring. Anachelin is the first genuine siderophore of a cyanobacterium whose structure has been elucidated.
