Bacillus anthracis Siderophores
Iron is an essential for growth and reproduction of bacteria element. One of the ways of its acquisition by Bacillus anthracis is utilization of high-affinity chelating agents of iron ions - bacillibactin and petrobactin siderophores, extracting the iron

Novel strains of Bacillus cereus Wah1 and Enterobacter cloacae Wkh with high potential for production of siderophores [PDF]
Introduction: Siderophores are relatively low-weight molecules (500 to 1000 Dalton), which are produced by many microorganisms as the chelating ligands of iron under iron deficiency.

Microorganisms adopt a unique mechanism for sequestration and transport of bound iron by producing iron-chelating molecules called siderophores. Siderophores play an important role in colonization of microbes in iron-deficient sites of the host, hence ...

Background Bacterial siderophores are chelating compounds with the potential of application in agriculture, due to their plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties, however, high production and purification costs are limiting factors for their wider ...

Bacterial Siderophores: Structure, Functions, and Role in the Pathogenesis of Infections
This review systematizes and analyzes the data published over the past decade, devoted to the study of low-molecular-weight high affinity iron chelators – siderophores.

Mammalian Siderophores, Siderophore-binding Lipocalins, and the Labile Iron Pool [PDF]
Bacteria use tight-binding, ferric-specific chelators called siderophores to acquire iron from the environment and from the host during infection; animals use proteins such as transferrin and ferritin to transport and store iron. Recently, candidate compounds that could serve endogenously as mammalian siderophore equivalents have been identified and ...

Cyanobacterial Siderophores—Physiology, Structure, Biosynthesis, and Applications
Siderophores are low-molecular-weight metal chelators that function in microbial iron uptake. As iron limits primary productivity in many environments, siderophores are of great ecological importance.

Biosynthesis Pathways, Transport Mechanisms and Biotechnological Applications of Fungal Siderophores
Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element on earth and represents an essential nutrient for life. As a fundamental mineral element for cell growth and development, iron is available for uptake as ferric ions, which are usually oxidized into complex ...

Siderophores: More than Stealing Iron
Siderophores are small molecular iron chelators that are produced by microbes and whose most notable function is to sequester iron from the host and provide this essential metal nutrient to microbes.
