Siderophore production by Pseudomonas pseudomallei [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1991
Eighty-four strains of Pseudomonas pseudomallei isolated from patients with melioidosis were examined for siderophore production. All the strains were shown to produce siderophore both on chrome azurol S agar plates and in liquid medium under iron-deficient conditions.

Distribution and Cycling of Siderophores in the Eastern North and Tropical Pacific Oceans

Geophysical Research Letters
Most iron (Fe) dissolved in seawater is complexed to organic ligands of unknown composition. Here we investigate the distribution of siderophores, small organic compounds synthesized by microbes to bind environmental Fe and facilitate its transport into ...

Non-classical roles of bacterial siderophores in pathogenesis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Within host environments, iron availability is limited, which instigates competition for this essential trace element. In response, bacteria produce siderophores, secondary metabolites that scavenge iron and deliver it to bacterial cells via specific ...

Siderophore production by Vibrio cholerae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1978
Vibrio cholerae produces a phenolate-type siderophore that stimulates growth of the organism in low-iron medium. This compound is similar, but not identical, to enterochelin, the siderophore produced by Salmonella and Escherichia coli.

Advances in Mycobacterium siderophore-based drug discovery

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2011
Tuberculosis remains a public health threat of global proportions. Iron is a scarce resource indispensable to both host and pathogen during infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis.

Chemistry and Biology of Siderophores from Marine Microbes

Marine Drugs, 2019
Microbial siderophores are multidentate Fe(III) chelators used by microbes during siderophore-mediated assimilation. They possess high affinity and selectivity for Fe(III).

The role of FoxA, FiuA, and FpvB in iron acquisition via hydroxamate-type siderophores in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Scientific Reports
Siderophores are specialized molecules produced by bacteria and fungi to scavenge iron, a crucial nutrient for growth and metabolism. Catecholate-type siderophores are mainly produced by bacteria, while hydroxamates are mostly from fungi.
