2,3-Dihydroxybenzoyl-L-serine (DHBS).

2,3-Dihydroxybenzoyl-L-serine the breakdown product of enterochelin, was able to stimulate growth of Escherichia coli under iron limiting conditions by acting as a siderophore. The dihydroxybenzoylserine-iron complex was taken up via the outer membrane receptor proteins Fiu, FepA and to a minor extent via Cir.
