Fig. 18. Seperation <strong>of</strong> the achromobactin-containing XAD4<br />
purificationS by TLC.<br />
XAD4 purified supernatant <strong>of</strong> Pss22d∆Pvd separated by TLC on silica<br />
plate (mobile phase: Diethylether : n-butanole: acetic acid: water; ratio<br />
1:1:1:1; v/v). Fluorescence <strong>of</strong> the sample was visualizes by UV 365nm .<br />
Drawn line at the bottom indicates the start <strong>and</strong> the uppermost fluorescent<br />
line represents the running front.<br />
Separations <strong>of</strong> the Pss22d∆Pvd XAD4-purification were compared to that <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Pss22d∆Sid <strong>and</strong> a control achromobactin sample purified from<br />
D. chrysanthemi cbsE-1 tonB60 (Fig.19). In all three samples the majority <strong>of</strong><br />
fluorescent components migrated to more than half <strong>of</strong> the running front. The<br />
CAS-overlay <strong>of</strong> the TLC plates showed a positive reaction for authentic<br />
achromobactin <strong>and</strong> the Pss22d∆Pvd XAD4-purification (Fig19A).<br />
In both samples the CAS-active substance had moved only slightly (retention<br />
factor <strong>of</strong> 0.25). As expected this b<strong>and</strong> was absent in the siderophore-deficient<br />
strain. No fluorescent b<strong>and</strong> could be associated to the CAS-active region on the<br />
plate, indicating that neither the achromobactin-like siderophore nor authentic<br />
achromobactin were visible at the wavelength tested.<br />

Fig. 19. CAS overlay <strong>of</strong> TLC separated XAD4 purification.<br />
XAD4 purified supernatant separated by TLC on silica plate with different<br />
mobile phases: A) Diethylether : n-butanole: acetic acid: water; ratio 1:1:1:1;<br />
(v/v). B) MTBE : Methanol: acetic acid : water; ratio 3:1:1:1 (v:v).<br />
Samples: 1) Pss22d∆Pvd 2) Pss22d∆Sid 3) Achromobactin purified from<br />
D. chrysanthemi cbsE-1 tonB60. The arrow indicates CAS-active b<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Pss22d∆Pvd, the less intensive signal below this b<strong>and</strong> is due to long<br />
incubation time <strong>of</strong> the overlay.<br />
