In the ancient anaerobic environment, ferrous iron (Fe2+) was one of the first metal
cofactors. Oxygenation of the ancient world challenged bacteria to acquire the insoluble …

Iron is one of the major limiting factors and essential nutrients of microbial life. Since in
nature it is not readily available in the preferred form, microorganisms produce small high …

A simple procedure for cloning and stable insertion of foreign genes into the chromosomes
of gram-negative eubacteria was developed by combining in two sets of plasmids (i) the …

Certain members of the fluorescent pseudomonad group have been shown to be potential
agents for the biocontrol of plant root diseases. The major problems with the …

The appearance of oxygen on earth led to two major problems: the production of potentially
deleterious reactive oxygen species and a drastic decrease in iron availability. In addition …

Iron is the most abundant transition metal in the human body and its bioavailability is
stringently controlled. In particular, iron is tightly bound to host proteins such as transferrin to …

The members of the Aeromonas genus are ubiquitous, water‐borne bacteria. They have
been isolated from marine waters, rivers, lakes, swamps, sediments, chlorine water, water …

The major mechanisms used by microorganisms to transport iron within the cell are through
chelation, reduction and low-affinity transport. Microbially-produced iron chelators are …

Iron is a versatile redox-active catalyst and a required cofactor within a diverse array of
biological processes. To almost all organisms, iron is both essential and potentially toxic …
