Aspergillus nidulansandPenicillium chrysogenumproduce specific cellular siderophores in addition to the well-known siderophores of the culture medium. Since this was found previously inNeurospora crassa, it is probably generally true for filamentous ascomycetes. The cellular siderophore ofA. nidulansis ferricrocin; that ofP. chrysogenumis ferrichrome.A. nidulansalso contains triacetylfusigen, a siderophore without apparent biological activity. Conidia of both species lose siderophores at high salt concentrations and become siderophore dependent. This has also been found inN. crassa, where lowering of the water activity has been shown to be the causal factor. We used an assay procedure based on this dependency to reexamine the extracellular siderophores of these species. During rapid mycelial growth, bothA. nidulansandP. chrysogenumproduced two highly active, unidentified siderophores which were later replaced by a less active or inactive product—coprogen in the case ofP. chrysogenumand triacetylfusigen in the case ofA. nidulans.N. crassasecreted coprogen only. Fungal siderophore metabolism is varied and complex.
