Metabolite Identification
Common NameDesferriferrichrome
DescriptionDesferriferrichrome is a hydroxamate siderophore belonging to the class of metabolites known for their iron-chelating properties. This compound plays a crucial role in the growth and metabolism of the fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora, particularly influencing its nematode trapping ability. The biosynthesis of desferriferrichrome is regulated by a rare nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster, specifically involving the Ao415 and Ao414 genes, which are essential for producing this siderophore (PMID:38340066 ). The absence of desferriferrichrome and its precursor can lead to increased levels of Fe3+, triggering trap formation in the absence of nematode inducers (PMID:38340066 ). Mass spectrometry has confirmed the identification of desferriferrichrome as a product of this biosynthetic pathway (PMID:38114752 ). Additionally, molecular networking has revealed novel homologs of desferriferrichrome, expanding its significance in fungal metabolism (PMID:34304135 ). The compound has been shown to be enriched during the predatory stage of A. oligospora, highlighting its potential bioactivity against nematodes (PMID:32245081 ). Furthermore, various derivatives and analogs of desferriferrichrome have been explored for their analytical applications and sensitivity in different conditions (PMID:10499091 ).
