Characterization of siderophores from Escherichia coli strains through genome mining tools: an antiSMASH study

Abstract

Key points Genome mining on nonpathogenic and pathogenic E. coli was studied. Comprehensive and comparative analysis of siderophores were investigated. The results may open a new gate on the development of new drugs on pathogenic E. coli-based diseases.
