natural competition for the metal between bacterial pathogens and their human or animal …

Iron is a micronutrient for nearly all life on Earth. It can be used as an electron donor and
electron acceptor by iron-oxidizing and iron-reducing microorganisms and is used in a …

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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen responsible for
nosocomial infections. The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant P. aeruginosa strains is …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium found in many natural and man‐made
