Bacillibactin
Bacillibactin (Corynebactin) is a cyclic tricatecholate siderophore. Bacillibactin’s primary function is to facilitate bacterial iron acquisition by chelating iron ions (Fe3+) from the environment, thereby aiding bacterial survival under iron-limited conditions. Bacillibactin exhibits direct antimicrobial activity, such as inhibition of the growth of the producing bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aeromonas veronae, as well as plant pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae.Bacillibactin can be used in antibacterial and antifungal research[1][2][3][4].
