Deletion of a siderophore cluster. (a) Comparative genomic analysis showed that the majority of analyzed Salinispora genomes contain the full des cluster for the production of desferrioxamine under iron-limiting conditions (example S. pacifica CNY282). However, almost the whole biosynthesis cluster is deleted in 19 of the analyzed strains, whereas the surrounding genes (light gray) are highly conserved. Only the periplasmic binding protein and metal transporters (dark gray) remain. (b) Structure of desferrioxamine E.
