Iron is essential to nearly all life forms on Earth, required for the proper function of enzymes
involved in, for example, respiration, photosynthesis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, nitrogen …

Almost all life forms depend on iron as an essential micronutrient that is needed for electron
transport and metabolic processes. Siderophores are low-molecular-weight iron chelators …

Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust. In biology, Fe is involved in
several important processes that may be enzymatic (as a cofactor to several enzymes) or …

In this study, we performed a detailed characterization of the siderophore metabolome, or
“chelome,” of the agriculturally important and widely studied model organism Azotobacter …

Microbes belonging to the genus Verrucosispora possess significant chemical diversity and
biological properties. They have attracted the interests of many researchers and are …

Staphylococcus aureus possesses a multitude of mechanisms by which it can obtain iron
during growth under iron starvation conditions. It expresses an effective heme acquisition …

Since its first release in 2008, Norine remains the unique resource completely devoted to
nonribosomal peptides (NRPs). They are very attractive microbial secondary metabolites …

Iron is a vital mineral nutrient required by virtually all life forms to prosper; pathogenic
bacteria are no exception. Despite the abundance of iron within the human host, highly …

Late-stage assembly of the trimeric linear siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) native to
Streptomyces pilosus involves two DesD-catalyzed condensation reactions between one N …

Photoreactive siderophores have a major impact on the growth of planktonic organisms. To
date, these molecules have mainly been reported from marine bacteria, although evidence …
