High-affinity iron (Fe) scavenging compounds, or siderophores, are widely employed by soil bacteria to survive scarcity in bioavailable Fe. Siderophore biosynthesis relies on cellular carbon metabolism, despite reported decrease in both carbon uptake and Fe-containing metabolic proteins in Fe-def...
Intestinal inflammation and the related gut microbiome dysbiosis are becoming prevalent worldwide. Overgrowth of Enterobacteriaceae exacerbates intestinal inflammation and gut microbiome dysbiosis. Enterobacteriaceae secrets siderophore to acquire iron and survive in the iron-limited gut. Therefo...
