Bacillus anthracis Siderophores

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2016
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]

open access: yesBiological Journal of Microorganism, 2017
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.

Selection and characterization of siderophores of pathogenic Escherichia coli intestinal and extraintestinal isolates

open access: yesOpen Agriculture, 2021
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 ...

Metabolically versatile psychrotolerant Antarctic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. ANT_H12B is an efficient producer of siderophores and accompanying metabolites (SAM) useful for agricultural purposes

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories, 2023
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

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2022
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]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2012
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

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2019
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

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
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 ...

Competitive Interactions Between Microbial Siderophores and Humic-Like Binding Sites in European Shelf Sea Waters

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Siderophores are low molecular weight high affinity iron chelates found at low concentrations in seawater. In this study we determined the total concentrations and identities of siderophores in extracts isolated from a shelf sea environment on the ...

Siderophores: More than Stealing Iron

open access: yesmBio, 2016
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.
