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 …

Iron is an essential nutrient for bacterial growth but poorly bioavailable. Bacteria scavenge
ferric iron by synthesizing and secreting siderophores, small compounds with a high affinity …

Bacteria absorb different forms of iron through various channels to meet their needs. Our
previous studies have shown that TseF, a type VI secretion system effector for Fe uptake …

Pseudomonas protegens is a typical plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium that can serve
as an agricultural biocontrol agent. The extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor AlgU is …

One of the mechanisms employed by the opportunistic pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia
