pyochelin I

CHEBI:67183 EXACT SEEDED

A pyochelin that has R-stereochemistry at the thioaminal centre; the diastereoisomer with S-stereochemistry at this centre is pyochelin II. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a mixture of pyochelin I (major) and pyochelin II (minor) via condensation of salicylic acid and two molecules of cysteine. The enantiomeric compounds, enant-pyochelin I and II, are produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Alkaloids — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is nrps, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 1

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.
