High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rhodotorulic acid is a dihydroxamate-containing siderophore which is expressed by some bacteria for the purposes of sequestering insoluble ferric iron(III) for organism growth. It has been implicated as a chiral recognition factor in the transport of iron(III). It is a tetradentate ligand, meaning it binds one iron atom in four locations (two hydroxamate and two ketone moieties), and forms Fe2(siderophore)3 complexes to fulfill an octahedral coordination for iron. It possesses a 2-fold symmetry axis passing through the heteroring.
