What is Iron Uptake In Bacteria With Emphasis On E. Coli And Pseudomonas (springerbriefs In Molecular Science) about?
Iron is essential for the growth of most bacteria because it serves as a cofactor for vital enzymes and for the components of the electron transport chain. Moreover, Iron plays an important role in bacterial pathogenicity; in fact, the iron transport systems in bacteria works as target for designing novel antibiotics. Because iron is not soluble under aerobic conditions, bacteria have had to find ways to overcome iron deficiency. One of them is producing an iron-chelating small organic molecule called siderophore. Indeed, most bacteria and fungi produce structurally and chemically diverse siderophores which are transported back to the cytoplasm using complex energy dependent transport systems. __Escherichia coli__ and __Pseudomonas__ were the first ones to be tested; however, nowadays iron transport systems have been investigated in many other bacteria. __Iron Uptake in Bacteria with Emphasis on E. coli and____Pseudomonas__ reviews the recent advancements in the field of iron transport systems in bacteria. Chapter 1 is dedicated to Dr. Dick van der Helm’s contribution to the field of siderophore biology. It then describes and discusses the structural advances in the components and
