From a strain ofNeovossia indien(Mitra) Mundk., a smut fungus of the order Tilletiales, a novel ferrichrome‐type siderophore was isolated. We have demonstrated that this is a heptapeptide rather than the usual hexapeptide, which contained, in addition to L‐ornithine, a (Gly)4sequence instead of the (Gly)3sequence usually found. Transport studies with55Fe‐labelled (Gly)4‐ferrichrome and (Gly)3‐ferrichrome inNeurospora crassarevealed identical uptake rates, indicating that increased ring size and conformational flexibility of the peptide backbone are of minor importance during function and recognition by the ferrichrome transport system.
