(b) Pathogenic bacteria must compete against these biological systems which minimize the free iron concentration in order to obtain sufficient iron for the microbes to grow and multiply. Hence bacteria have evolved aggressive iron acquisition processes involving siderophores such as enterobactin and corynebactin. (0) Describe how corynebactin (Q 8(b)(i)) binds to iron and explain why the resulting complex is extremely stable. OH Сн, о HO OH OH "CH3 H3C NH NH HO HO Figure Q8(b)(i) Corynebactin (6 marks)
