How can you use “pdtc” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In either case, MoeZ is essential to pdtc synthesis in P. stutzeri strain KC, and pdtc is a potent and versatile molecule.

  • The end product of this synthesis is pdtc, a molecule with two thiocarboxylic acid groups that is secreted from the cell.

  • The CSC-induced increase in IL-1β expression was also reduced by treatment of the cells with PD98059 or the NFκB inhibitor, PDTC (Fig.

  • Three other P. stutzeri isolates, obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, have been shown by Southern analysis to lack pdtc synthesis genes.

  • Pyridine-2,6-bis(thiocarboxylic acid) (pdtc) is an iron-regulated metabolite produced by certain pseudomonads that is highly reactive towards metals by virtue of a pair of thiocarboxylate groups and ring nitrogen that combine to form a non-specific, high affinity, tri-dentate ligand (Figure 1) [ 1 2 ] . The formation constants for Co, Cu, and Fe complexes of pdtc were determined to be greater than 10 33 [ 3 ] . Uptake studies using 59Fe showed that addition of pdtc to the growth medium of two different pdtc-producing pseudomonads increased the efficiency of iron uptake by 20% [ 1 ] . The contribution of pdtc to iron uptake may be due to the fact that the copper complex of pdtc (Cu:pdtc) has the ability to reduce both soluble and mineral forms of ferric iron) [ 1 ] . Not surprisingly, in light of its high affinity for essential metals, pdtc also exhibits antimicrobial activity [ 4 ] .
