Siderophores make iron accessible under iron-limited conditions and play a crucial role in
the survival of microorganisms. Because of their remarkable metal-scavenging properties …

Iron is a fundamental element for virtually all forms of life. Despite its abundance, its
bioavailability is limited, and thus, microbes developed siderophores, small molecules …

Siderophore-interacting proteins (SIPs), such as YqjH from Escherichia coli, are widespread
among bacteria and commonly associated with iron-dependent induction and siderophore …

Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is a transcriptional regulator playing a central role in iron
homeostasis of many bacteria, and Fur inactivation commonly results in pleiotropic …

Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is a global regulator that controls bacterial iron homeostasis. In
this study, a fur deletion mutant of the deep-sea bacterium Shewanella piezotolerans WP3 …

Despite the abundance of iron in nature, iron acquisition is a challenge for life in general
because the element mostly exists in the extremely insoluble ferric (Fe 3+) form in oxic …

Dissimilatory Fe (III)‐reducing bacteria occupy a central position in a variety of
environmentally important processes, including the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and …

The bacterium Shewanella frigidimarina can grow anaerobically by utilizing Fe (III) as a
respiratory electron acceptor. This results in the synthesis of a number of periplasmic c-type …

CyaY is an iron transport protein for iron–sulfur (Fe–S) cluster biosynthetic systems. It also
transports iron to ferrochelatase that catalyzes insertion of Fe2+ into protoporphyrin IX. Here …

Siderophores are small-molecule high-affinity multidentate chelators selective for ferric iron
that are produced by pathogenic microbes to aid in nutrient sequestration and enhance …
