Abstract
Heterologous mycobactins and the synthetic FR160 [N-4-nonyl,N',N-8-bis (2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl) spermidine hydrobromide (C30H46N3O6Br)] promote d growth in Mycobacterium aurum in low concentrations. They were other wise highly inhibitory, as opposed to homologous mycobactin, which was strictly growth promoting. Desferrioxamine B (Desferal) had no signif icant effect on growth.
