Iron is important to bacteria. Really important. It’s so important that bacteria secrete special molecules called siderophores to find iron and bring it back to the cell. It goes without saying, then, ...
The synthetically produced fluorescent siderophore NBD-desferrioxamine B (NBD-DFO), an analog of the natural siderophore ferrioxamine B, was used to study iron uptake by plants. Short-term (10-hour) ...
Microorganisms use siderophores to obtain iron from the environment. In pathogenic interactions, siderophores are involved in iron acquisition from the host and are sometimes necessary for the ...
It's been known that the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae secretes small molecules called siderophores that enable it to acquire iron from a host and fuel its spread. Now, researchers have found that ...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and MIT are taking a novel approach to preventing and treating bacterial infections. Like people, bacteria need iron. The problem is that soluble ...

Iron-stealing Pandoraea bacteria deploy unique molecules to tip balance in lung microbiome
An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-HKI in Jena has discovered a new group of bioactive natural compounds in pathogenic bacteria of the genus Pandoraea: pandorabactins. They enable ...
