The low-shear environment of optimized rotation suspension culture allows both eukaryotic
and prokaryotic cells to assume physiologically relevant phenotypes that have led to …

Full virulence of the pectinolytic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi strain 3937 depends
on the production in planta of the catechol‐type siderophore chrysobactin. Under iron …

Virtually all organisms require iron and have evolved to obtain this element in free or
chelated forms. Under anaerobic or low pH conditions commonly encountered by numerous …

Iron is limiting in the human host, and bacterial pathogens respond to this environment by
activating genes required for bacterial virulence. Transcriptional regulation in response to …

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is the founding member of the FUR superfamily of
metalloregulatory proteins that control metal homeostasis in bacteria. FUR proteins regulate …

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is known to act as a Fe2+‐dependent transcriptional
repressor of bacterial promoters. Here, we show that, in Helicobacter pylori, Fur can mediate …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes two siderophores, pyoverdine and pyochelin, under iron-
limiting conditions. These siderophores are recognized at the cell surface by specific outer …

The TonB‐dependent energy transduction system couples cytoplasmic membrane proton
motive force to active transport of iron–siderophore complexes across the outer membrane …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of Acinetobacter baumannii DS002 carry proteins which
perform selective biological functions. The proteins involved in cell wall/membrane …

There is strong evidence that natural selection can favour phenotypic plasticity as a
mechanism to maximize fitness in animals. Here, we aim to investigate phenotypic plasticity …
