Catechol siderophore plays an important role in microbial ecology, agriculture, and medicine, but its research is often limited by the difficulty in acquisition of it in large quantities. Based on evidence from the coordination chemistry and chemical biology, catechol siderophore could chelate Fe with high affinity. Therefore, Fe(III)-based immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC) was applied to capture siderophore from the culture filtrate of CD36. The ethanol-precipitated sample and the separated sample from Fe(III)-based IMAC were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. According to the result, the pure siderophore DHB-Gly-Thr could be extracted from the ethanol-precipitated sample. Compared with other purifications, Fe(III)-based IMAC was convenient and had fewer steps. In addition, it also reduced the use of toxic chemical solvents in some traditional extraction process, such as extraction and ion exchange chromatography. Fe(III)-based IMAC was successfully used in separation of the catechol siderophore from CD36. The results revealed that Fe(III)-based IMAC was an efficient and environmentally friendly method for the separation and purification of catechol siderophore.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
