FIGURE 2: Structural aspects of pyoverdines. (A) The structure of pyoverdine from P. fluorescens A506. (B) The condensation occurring in ferribactins. (C) Current model of periplasmic pyoverdine fluorophore biosynthesis. Note that the exact position of the hydroxyl group (black/grey) in malamide or malic acid is not resolved. See text for details. R2 (blue) designates the peptide moiety.
