Iron-chelating compound from Mycobacterium avium.

W G McCullough, R S Merkal
PMCID: PMC232820  PMID: 185194

Abstract

A iron-chelating monohydroxamate was isolated from cultures of Mycobacterium avium grown on an iron-limiting medium. The hydroxyamate metabolite was characterized by chemical degradation and spectral measurements as L-alpha-asparaginyl-L-alpha-(N-hydroxy)-asparagine.
