Most species of the genusAeromonasproduce the siderophore amonabactin, although two species produce enterobactin, the siderophore of many enteric bacteria. Both siderophores contain 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHB). Siderophore genes (designatedaebC, -E, -Band-A, foraeromonadenterobactinbiosynthesis) that complemented mutations in the enterobactin genes of theEscherichia coli2,3-DHB operon,entCEBA(P15), were cloned from an enterobactin-producing isolate of theAeromonasspp. Mapping of the aeromonad genes suggested a gene order ofaebCEBA, identical to that of theE. coli2,3-DHB operon. Gene probes for the aeromonadaebCEgenes and foramoA(theentC-equivalent gene previously cloned from an amonabactin-producingAeromonasspp.) did not cross-hybridize. Gene probes for theE. coli2,3-DHB genesentCEBAdid not hybridize withAeromonasspp. DNA. Therefore, in the genusAeromonas, 2,3-DHB synthesis is encoded by two distinct gene groups; one (amo) is present in the amonabactin-producers, while the other (aeb) occurs in the enterobactin-producers. Each of these systems differs from (but is functionally related to) theE. coli2,3-DHB operon. These genes may have diverged from an ancestral group of 2,3-DHB genes.
