• Structure, Function, and Evolution of Bacterial ATP-Binding Cassette Systems (2008, background): “Because the size and scarcity of certain nutrients, including vitamin B12 and the Fe 3 -siderophore complexes, exceed the size limit of porins (516), these compounds are bound by highaffinity outer membrane receptors (OMRs) that also function as transporters to move the compounds into the periplasmi”
• Bacterial competition: surviving and thriving in the microbial jungle (2010, background): “The production, release and uptake of iron-scavenging molecules called siderophores is a key microbial mechanism for iron acquisitio”
• Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR): Their potential as antagonists and biocontrol agents (2012, background): “Siderophores can chelate ferric ion with high affinity, allowing its solubilization and extraction from most mineral or organic complexes (Wandersman and Delepelaire, 2004).”
• Comparative Genomics of Plant-Associated Pseudomonas spp.: Insights into Diversity and Inheritance of Traits Involved in Multitrophic Interactions (2012, background): “In addition, four genomes (Pf-5, BG33R, SBW25 and SS101) have a full complement of genes required for the biosynthesis and efflux of a hemophore (Figure 6), a protein that, when exported from the cell, can chelate heme with high affinity and then be bound and taken up by specific outer membrane rece”
• Resistance and survival strategies of Salmonella enterica to environmental stresses (2012, background): “An alternative strategy employed by Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica involves secretion of low-molecular-weight, iron-chelating compounds known as siderophores (Chu et al., 2010; Wandersman & Delepelaire, 2004).”
• The Battle for Iron between Bacterial Pathogens and Their Vertebrate Hosts (2010, background): “. Bacterial pathogens can also elaborate secreted heme-scavenging molecules that remove heme from host hemoproteins. These molecules, known as hemophores, are functionally analogous to siderophores but are proteins that target heme, whereas siderophores are small molecules that target iron atoms”
• Iron‐sulphur clusters and the problem with oxygen (2006, background): “Microorganisms learned to tackle this problem by excreting siderophores, soluble organic molecules that avidly bind iron and can leach it off mineral precipitates (Wandersman and Delepelaire, 2004).”
