Mining iron: Iron uptake and transport in plants [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2007 Iron uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce either reduction‐based or chelation‐based mechanisms to enhance iron uptake from the soil.

Iron Uptake Mechanisms in Marine Phytoplankton [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Oceanic phytoplankton species have highly efficient mechanisms of iron acquisition, as they can take up iron from environments in which it is present at subnanomolar concentrations. In eukaryotes, three main models were proposed for iron transport into the cells by first studying the kinetics of iron uptake in different algal species and then, more ...

Salmonella Facilitates Iron Acquisition through UMPylation of Ferric Uptake Regulator
mBio, 2022 Iron limitation is a universal strategy of host immunity during bacterial infection. However, the mechanisms by which pathogens antagonize host nutritional immunity have not been fully elucidated.

Pumping iron: mechanisms for iron uptake by Campylobacter [PDF]
Microbiology, 2009 Campylobacter requires iron for successful colonization of the host. In the last 7 years, a wealth of data has been generated allowing detailed molecular characterization of Campylobacter iron-uptake systems. Several exogenous siderophores have been identified as sources of ferric iron for Campylobacter.

The role of iron in Mycobacterium smegmatis biofilm formation: The exochelin siderophore is essential in limiting iron conditions for biofilm formation but not for planktonic growth [PDF]
, 2007 Many species of mycobacteria form structured biofilm communities at liquid-air interfaces and on solid surfaces. Full development of Mycobacterium smegmatis biofilms requires addition of supplemental iron above 1 μM ferrous sulphate, although addition of

The Organization of Controller Motifs Leading to Robust Plant Iron Homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Iron is an essential element needed by all organisms for growth and development. Because iron becomes toxic at higher concentrations iron is under homeostatic control.

Importance of the Rhizosphere Microbiota in Iron Biofortification of Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Increasing the iron content of plant products and iron assimilability represents a major issue for human nutrition and health. This is also a major challenge because iron is not readily available for plants in most cultivated soils despite its abundance ...

Iron economy in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. [PDF]
, 2013 While research on iron nutrition in plants has largely focused on iron-uptake pathways, photosynthetic microbes such as the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii provide excellent experimental systems for understanding iron metabolism at the ...
