Abstract
It was shown that the fluorescent pigment pyoverdin P-m synthesized by Pseudomonas putida bacteria is a siderophore and possesses' antibacte rial activity. The adsorption spectrum of the pigment exhibits two max ima: in the ultraviolet (230 nm) and visible (400 nm) regions. Amino a cid analysis showed that the pyoverdin P-m molecule includes, in addit ion to a dihydroxyquinoline nucleus, the following five amino acids: t hreonine,;serine, lysine, hydroxyaspartic acid, and N-delta-hydroxyomi thine in a 3:2:1:1:1 ratio.
