Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Iron is an essential element for all microorganisms. Siderophores are low-weight, high-
affinity iron chelating molecules produced in response to iron deficiency by Gram-positive …

Exposure to a variety of toxins and/or infectious agents leads to disease, degeneration and
death, often characterised by circumstances in which cells or tissues do not merely die and …

Bacteria are confronted with a low availability of iron owing to its insolubility in the Fe3+ form
or its being bound to host proteins. The bacteria cope with the iron deficiency by using host …

Multiple human diseases ensue from a hereditary or acquired deficiency of iron-transporting
protein function that diminishes transmembrane iron flux in distinct sites and directions …

Bacteria in marine environments are often under extreme conditions of eg, pressure,
temperature, salinity, and depletion of micronutrients, with survival and proliferation often …

Cellular iron homeostasis and mitochondrial iron homeostasis are interdependent.
Mitochondria must import iron to form iron–sulfur clusters and heme, and to incorporate …

Pathogenic antibiotic resistant bacteria pose one of the most important health challenges of
the 21st century. The overuse and abuse of antibiotics coupled with the natural evolutionary …

Cheese ripening is a complex biochemical process driven by microbial communities
composed of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Surface-ripened cheeses are widely …

Iron (Fe) is the most important metal in biology. Despite its abundance, Fe is mostly present
as a ferric form in soils, strongly limiting its bioavailability. To overcome the challenge of Fe …
