Iron is an essential micronutrient for plants and associated microorganisms. Iron nutrition of
these organisms relies on the soil supply. However, bioavailability of iron in cultivated soils …

Infectious diseases are the result of competitive relationships between a host organism and
a pathogen. In host vertebrate–microbe interactions, the acquisition of iron for the essential …

Iron is essential for metabolic processes in most living organisms. Pathogens and their hosts
often compete for the acquisition of this nutrient. However, iron can catalyze the formation of …

Iron is an essential element required for the growth and survival of nearly all forms of life. It
serves as a catalytic component in multiple enzymatic reactions, such as photosynthesis …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for plants and associated microorganisms. However, the
bioavailability of iron in cultivated soils is low. Plants and microorganisms have thus evolved …

The interaction between pathogenic microbes and their hosts is determined by survival
strategies on both sides. As a result of its redox properties, iron is vital for the growth and …

Iron is an essential nutrient for most life on Earth because it functions as a crucial redox
catalyst in many cellular processes. However, when present in excess iron can lead to the …

Iron plays a key role in biology as essential cofactor of numerous proteins. However, since it
is only slightly soluble its bioavailability can be readily compromised under aerobic …

Increasing the iron content of plant products and iron assimilability represents a major issue
for human nutrition and health. This is also a major challenge because iron is not readily …

Iron is an essential element for most organisms. As an indispensable co-factor of many
enzymes, iron is involved in various crucial metabolic processes that are required for the …
