CHEBI:50437 ·resolve ·ANTIBACTERIAL ·EXACT SEEDED

Nocardamine is a cyclic trihydroxamate. It belongs to a group of microbial siderophores which form complexes with iron and aluminum ions. Nocardamine was described first as an antibiotic active against mycobacteria and proteus. It is produced by Nocardia species, several Streptomyces species, Chromobacterium and Pseudomonas. — PMID:31395970

Cross-references

Identifiers for this same structure in other resources. An accession that lands on two different structures in this corpus is withheld from both rather than shown here, since it names at most one of them.

Source concepts

Every upstream concept that resolved to this record. The merge is the product: this is what shows ChEBI and CARD are describing the same structure.

Producer organisms

Organisms that biosynthesize this compound. Cluster link evidence is how the upstream source graded the gene cluster, so it is populated only for a source that grades it. An empty cell is not weaker support: a curator-authored producer carries its support in Evidence instead. Where the source entry named several compounds, the evidence is marked inherited, meaning it covers this compound together with the cluster's other products rather than singling it out. Those products need not be related to each other: a cluster can list an intermediate, a precursor and a finished antibiotic side by side.

It supports that the entry exists; it is NOT established as evidence for this specific producer/compound link.)
