Siderophores have great application potential in metal pollutant remediation because of
their effective cost and friendly impact on the environment. However, the practical use of …

Opportunistic pathogens belonging to the genus Legionella are among the most reported
waterborne-associated pathogens in industrialized countries. Legionella colonize a variety …

Herein we demonstrate cultivation-dependent siderophore production by the actinomycete
Gordonia rubripertincta CWB2. The strain produces mostly citrate, but also desferrioxamine …

Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) is caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood
nematode, and affects several species of pine trees worldwide. The ecosystem of the Pinus …

Siderophores are iron-chelating low-molecular-weight compounds that bind iron (Fe3+) with
a high affinity for transport into the cell. The newly isolated strain Streptomyces tricolor HM10 …

Plants and pathogens interact with a wide range of organisms throughout their life cycle.
These interactions play an important role in affecting plant health. At multiple levels of scale …

Honey bees coexist with fungi that colonize hive surfaces and pollen. Some of these fungi
are opportunistic pathogens, but many are beneficial species that produce antimicrobial …

Fungal secondary metabolites are often pathogenicity or virulence factors synthesized by
genes contained in secondary metabolite gene clusters (SMGCs). Nonribosomal …

Myxobacteria utilize the catechol natural products myxochelin A and B in order to maintain
their iron homeostasis. Recently, the production of these siderophores, along with a new …

Iron is a fundamental element for plants as well as for microorganisms and several
pathogens, including Rhizoctonia solani, one of the main soil‐borne pathogens of tomato …
