Bacteria secrete small molecules known as siderophores to acquire iron from their
surroundings. For over 60 years, investigations into the bioinorganic chemistry of these …

Catechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical
processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to …

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 …

Siderophores produced by rhizosphere bacteria may enhance plant growth by increasing
the availability of Fe near the root or by inhibiting the colonization of roots by plant …

Because of their ability to transform atmospheric N2 into ammonia that can be used by the
plant, researchers were originally very optimistic about the potential of associative …

Providing effective chelation therapy in response to internal human actinide contamination
has been shown to reduce acute radiation damage, chemical toxicity, and late radiation …

membrane receptor protein of Escherichia coli; isolation and purification of the protein and …

Pyoverdines are fluorescent siderophores of pseudomonads that play important roles for
growth under iron-limiting conditions. The production of pyoverdines by fluorescent …

Most of the iron in a mammalian body is complexed with various proteins. Moreover, in
response to infection, iron availability is reduced in both extracellular and intracellular …

Attempts have been made to classify algae according to their nutritional modes, but much
ambiguity remains. The complexity and confusion in the trophy-terminology of algae …
