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.

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 metabolism in trypanosomatids, and its crucial role in infection. [PDF]
, 2010 Iron is almost ubiquitous in living organisms due to the utility of its redox chemistry. It is also dangerous as it can catalyse the formation of reactive free radicals - a classical double-edged sword.

Regulation of iron-siderophore uptake in a diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena anabaena 7120
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014 The regulation of 55Fe-siderophore uptake of was studied in a diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena 7120. The uptake up to 20 min was found to be biphasic, a rapid first and steady second phase.

59Fe Uptake Assays in Paracoccidioides Species
Bio-Protocol, 2016 Iron is an essential micronutrient required for virtually all organisms. This fact is related to the ability of the transition metal to exist in two oxidation states, the reduced ferrous (Fe2+) and the oxidized ferric (Fe3+).

Paracoccidioides spp. FERROUS AND FERRIC IRON ASSIMILATION PATHWAYS
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all organisms, including fungi. Usually, fungi can uptake iron through receptor-mediated internalization of a siderophore or heme, and/or reductive iron assimilation (RIA).
