Iron is an essential element for most living organisms. Its roles in microbial physiology are
numerous. Iron is a constituent of all haem enzymes, which include cytochromes and …

Preface. Iron is considered to be a minor element employed, in a variety of forms, by nearly
all living organisms. In some cases, it is utilised in large quantities, for instance for the …

This review describes a molecular mechanism for regulation of one pathway of microbial
assimilation of iron, an element which may well be a nutrient required by all living cells …

▪ Abstract Iron is an essential element for most organisms, including bacteria. The oxidized
form is insoluble, and the reduced form is highly toxic for most macromolecules and, in …

Bacteria depend upon iron as a vital cofactor that enables a wide range of key metabolic
activities. Bacteria must therefore ensure a balanced supply of this essential metal. To do so …

Iron is essential to virtually all organisms, but poses problems of toxicity and poor solubility.
Bacteria have evolved various mechanisms to counter the problems imposed by their iron …

of microbial iron metabolism. It aims to contribute to an increased understanding of the path …

Iron is a critical nutrient for the growth and survival of most bacterial species. Accordingly,
much attention has been paid to the mechanisms by which host organisms sequester iron …
