An extracellular siderophore is required to maintain the mutualistic interaction of Epichloë festucae with Lolium perenne.

We have identified from the mutualistic grass endophyte Epichloë festucae a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene (sidN) encoding a siderophore synthetase. The enzymatic product of SidN is shown to be a novel extracellular siderophore designated as epichloënin A, related to ferrirubin from the ferri...
