Abstract

The iron-containing biologically active peptide TAN-866 produced by microorganisms belonging to the genus Pseudomonas and its iron free compounds have antibacterial activity mainly against gram-negative bacteria. These peptides can be used as a therepeutic agent for bacterial infections in mammals, domestic fowl, etc., caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Further, TAN-866 and its deacyl compounds are also promising as the starting materials and intermediates for the synthesis of novel products.
