Product Description: Mycobactin P is a derivative of Mycobactin. The Mycobactin biosynthesis pathway exists only in Mycolata actinomycetes, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Under the iron stress conditions of host macrophages, Mycobactin synthesizes peptides with salicylic acid groups to meet the pathogen's demand for iron.
Formula: C47H75N5O10
