• metallic ions depends on the presence of suitable ligand groups. Hydroxamates, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoates, and α-hydroxycarboxylates make excellent bidentate ligand groups, as their negatively charged oxygen atoms can maintain strong interactions with ferric iron [3]. But there are also many siderophores

• the end product of the pathway in N. altamirensis DSM 44997. Previous studies have demonstrated that, in nature, hydroxamates arise from the oxidation of terminal amino groups in amino acid side chains, followed by formylation or acylation of the resulting hydroxylamines. While the oxidations are
