The impact of iron limitation on the physiology of the Antarctic diatom Chaetoceros simplex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Iron availability strongly governs the growth of Southern Ocean phytoplankton. To investigate how iron limitation affects photosynthesis as well as the uptake of carbon and iron in the Antarctic diatom Chaetoceros simplex, a combination of chlorophyll a ...

Comparison study of iron preparations using a human intestinal model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Iron deficiency and related iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are the most prevalent nutritional disorders worldwide. The standard treatment involves supple-mentation with solid or liquid iron supplement preparations, usually based on a ferrous salt such as ...

Regulation of Copper Metabolism by Nitrogen Utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
To understand the relationship between carbon or nitrogen utilization and iron homeostasis, we performed an iron uptake assay with several deletion mutants with partial defects in carbon or nitrogen metabolism. Among them, some deletion mutants defective

Iron, silicate, and light co-limitation of three Southern Ocean diatom species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The effect of combined iron, silicate, and light co-limitation was investigated in the three diatom species Actinocyclus sp. Ehrenberg, Chaetoceros dichaeta Ehrenberg, and Chaetoceros debilis Cleve, isolated from the Southern Ocean (SO).

Iron uptake mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1993
Most of the iron in a mammalian body is complexed with various proteins. Moreover, in response to infection, iron availability is reduced in both extracellular and intracellular compartments. Bacteria need iron for growth and successful bacterial pathogens have therefore evolved to compete successfully for iron in the highly iron-stressed environment ...

Alginate inhibits iron absorption from ferrous gluconate in a randomized controlled trial and reduces iron uptake into Caco-2 cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Previous in vitro results indicated that alginate beads might be a useful vehicle for food iron fortification. A human study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that alginate enhances iron absorption.

Mitochondrial Iron Transport and Homeostasis in Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Iron (Fe) is an essential nutrient for plants and although the mechanisms controlling iron uptake from the soil are relatively well understood, comparatively little is known about subcellular trafficking of iron in plant cells.

Abnormal iron uptake and liver cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Biology & Therapy, 2009
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Iron overload represents a significant risk factor in the development of HCC. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic iron overload disease characterized by hepatic iron accumulation.

Possible role of membrane gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in the facilitation of transferrin-dependent and -independent iron uptake by cancer cells.

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2003
Background The molecular mechanisms by which iron is physiologically transported trough the cellular membranes are still only partially understood. Several studies indicate that a reduction step of ferric iron to ferrous is necessary, both in the case of

Anaerobic iron uptake by Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1984
Assimilation and uptake of iron in anaerobic cultures of Escherichia coli were supported by iron supplied as ferrienterobactin, ferrichrome, and ferrous ascorbate; however, as in the aerobic cultures, ferrichrome A was a poor iron source. Albomycin inhibited both aerobically and anaerobically grown cells.
