Catch Fe if you can. Many siderophores are peptides biosynthesised by the well-studied
nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) multienzyme family. However, recent research …

Iron is required for microbial growth and proliferation. To survive in low-iron environments,
some microorganisms secrete ferric iron chelators called siderophores. Siderophore …

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 …

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

Background Most filamentous ascomycete fungi produce high affinity iron chelators called
siderophores, biosynthesized nonribosomally by multimodular adenylating enzymes called …

The regulatory logic of siderophore biosynthetic genes in bacteria involves the universal
repressor Fur, which acts together with iron as a negative regulator. However in other …

Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) protect microorganisms from environmental
threats by producing diverse siderophores, antibiotics, and other peptide natural products …

Bacterial siderophores assist pathogens in iron acquisition inside their hosts. They are often
essential for achieving a successful infection, and their biosynthesis represents an attractive …
