Iron is an essential nutrient for the growth, survival and virulence of almost all bacteria. To
access iron, many bacteria produce siderophores, molecules with a high affinity for iron …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative environmental and human opportunistic
pathogen highly adapted to many different environmental conditions. It can cause a wide …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium found in many natural and man‐made
environments. It is also a pathogen for plants, animals, and humans. As for almost all living …

Iron is an essential micronutrient, and, in the case of bacteria, its availability is commonly a
growth-limiting factor. However, correct functioning of cells requires that the labile pool of …

All organisms must regulate the cellular uptake, efflux, and intracellular trafficking of
essential elements, including d-block metal ions. In bacteria, such regulation is achieved by …

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is the founding member of the FUR superfamily of
metalloregulatory proteins that control metal homeostasis in bacteria. FUR proteins regulate …

Proteins belonging to the FUR (ferric uptake regulator) family are the cornerstone of
metalloregulation in most prokaryotes. Although numerous reviews have been devoted to …

Marine cyanobacteria are critical players in global nutrient cycles that crucially depend on
trace metals in metalloenzymes, including zinc for CO2 fixation and phosphorus acquisition …

Many transition metals are essential trace nutrients for living organisms, but they are also
cytotoxic in high concentrations. Bacteria maintain the delicate balance between metal …

Siderophores are iron chelators produced by bacteria to access iron, an essential nutrient.
The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two siderophores, pyoverdine and …
