Abstract Background Iron homeostasis of Shewanella oneidensis, a γ-proteobacterium
possessing high iron content, is regulated by a global transcription factor Fur. However …

Fe (III)-respiring bacteria such as Shewanella species play an important role in the global
cycle of iron, manganese, and trace metals and are useful for many biotechnological …

Determining the function and regulation of paralogues is important in understanding
microbial functional genomics and environmental adaptation. Heme homeostasis is crucial …

Metal-reducing members of the genus Shewanella are important components of the
microbial community residing in redox-stratified freshwater and marine environments. Metal …

Introduction A facultative anaerobe bacterium Shewanella xiamenensis CQ-Y1 was isolated
from the wastewater of Changqing oilfield in Shaanxi Province of China. Shewanella is the …

Siderophore-interacting proteins (SIPs) play an important role in iron acquisition in many
bacteria. SIPs release iron from the internalized ferric siderophore complex by reducing …

Biochemical studies were conducted to determine the nature of a membrane bound ferric
reductase in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Total membrane (TM) fractions from iron-grown …

Background Iron is essential for bacterial survival. Bacterial siderophores are small
molecules with unmatched capacity to scavenge iron from proteins and the extracellular …

Siderophores have important functions for bacteria in iron acquisition and as virulence
factors. In this chapter we will discuss the engineering of cyclic hydroxamate siderophores …

The effect of iron substrates and growth conditions on in vitro dissimilatory iron reduction by
membrane fractions of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was characterized. Membrane …
