Iron(III) Uptake and Release Mechanism by a Bacterial Siderophore

Year: 1996

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Siderophores are small molecules (MW ca 400-2000 Da), produced in iron deficient conditions by microorganisms, that bind and facilitate the transport of external iron into the cells via a high affinity system. They generally possess three bidentate chelating groups which can be either three catechol groups or three hydroxamate groups or miscellaneous groups. The most studied natural compounds is enterobactin, which contains three catechol groups. Another group of fungal or bacterial siderophores are the anchored or linear trihydroxamates such as ferrichromes and ferrioxamines. Other siderophores produced by various microorganisms possess both catecholate hydroxamate and hydroxyacid.
