| These siderophores are low molecular weight compounds having a high affinity for iron. |
|
| These siderophores bind iron efficiently and are then taken up by the bacteria through specific cell-surface receptors. |
|
| There are many bacterial virulence factors that may contribute to clinical outcomes, including bacterial hemolysins, proteases, and siderophores. |
|
| Uptake of iron siderophores and vitamin B12 into the periplasm has been shown to be an example of an energy-dependent translocation process through the outer membrane. |
|
| Much of the iron in ocean water is strongly bound to natural organic chelators, such as siderophores, which bind and release iron in different ways. |
