Abstract
A range of analogues of parabactin A 4 and agrobactin A 5 have been sy nthesised. All these comounds were able to chelate iron, and to promot e the growth of iron-starved Paracoccus denitrificans to varying degre es. A degree of flexibilty in the siderophore receptor system is thus demonstrated which may be exploitable for the transport of new siderop hore - antibiotic conjugates.
