General Information
Term enterobactin biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0009239 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of enterobactin, a catechol-derived siderochrome of Enterobacteria; enterobactin (N',N',N''-(2,6,10-trioxo-1,5,9-triacyclodecane-3,7,11-triyl)tris(2,3-dihydroxy)benzamide) is a self-triester of 2,3-dihydroxy-N-benzoyl-L-serine and a product of the shikimate pathway.
Also Known As "enterobactin anabolism" ; "enterobactin biosynthesis" ; "enterobactin formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
