The ANL superfamily of adenylating enzymes contains acyl-and aryl-CoA synthetases, firefly
luciferase, and the adenylation domains of the modular non-ribosomal peptide synthetases …

The biosynthesis of the microbial small molecule iron scavengers known as siderophores
has been of interest since their discovery in the middle of the past century. Two main …

The complete genomes of three strains from the phylum Acidobacteria were compared.
Phylogenetic analysis placed them as a unique phylum. They share genomic traits with …

The photosynthetic picocyanobacteria and eukaryotic microorganisms that inhabit the open
ocean must be able to supply iron for their photosynthetic and respiratory needs from the …

Iron is critical for virtually all forms of life. The production of high‐affinity iron chelators,
siderophores, and the subsequent uptake of iron–siderophore complexes are a common …

Siderophores are iron‐scavenging molecules produced by many microbes. In general, they
are synthesized using either non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) or NRPS …

Siderophores are high-affinity ferric iron chelators biosynthesised and excreted by most
microorganisms that play an important role in iron acquisition. Siderophore-mediated …

Recent studies have shown that the ubiquitin system had its origins in ancient
cofactor/amino acid biosynthesis pathways. Preliminary studies also indicated that …

Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B728a is known to produce the siderophore
pyoverdine under iron-limited conditions. It has also been proposed that this pathovar has …

Siderophores are key virulence factors that allow bacteria to grow in iron-restricted
environments. The Gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is known to produce …
