Bacterial Iron Sources: From Siderophores to Hemophores
Abstract
Iron is an essential element for most organisms, including bacteria. The oxidized form is insoluble, and the reduced form is highly toxic for most macromolecules and, in biological systems, is generally sequestrated by iron- and heme-carrier proteins. Thus, despite its abundance on earth, there is practically no free iron available for bacteria whatever biotope they colonize. To fulfill their iron needs, bacteria have multiple iron acquisition...
