Multiple siderophores: bug or feature?
It is common for bacteria to produce chemically diverse sets of small Fe-binding molecules called siderophores. Studies of siderophore bioinorganic...

An overview of siderophores for iron acquisition in microorganisms living in the extreme
Siderophores are iron-chelating molecules produced by microbes when intracellular iron concentrations are low. Low iron triggers a cascade of gene...

Structural characterization of amphiphilic siderophores produced by a soda lake isolate, Halomonas sp. SL01, reveals cysteine-, phenylalanine- and proline-containing head groups
Soap Lake, located in Washington State, is a naturally occurring saline and alkaline lake. Several organisms inhabiting this lake have been...

Amino acid variability in the peptide composition of a suite of amphiphilic peptide siderophores from an open ocean Vibrio species
In response to iron-depleted aerobic conditions, bacteria often secrete low molecular weight, high-affinity iron(III)-complexing ligands,...
