Microbial iron chelates, called siderophores, are synthesized by bacteria and fungi in response to low iron availability in the environment. The present review summarizes structural details of siderophore ligands with respect to their transport properties. This presentation is largely centred on the occurrence and function of siderophores in the various bacterial and fungal genera.
被称为铁载体的微生物铁螯合物是细菌和真菌在环境中铁可用性较低时合成的。本综述总结了铁载体配体在运输特性方面的结构细节。本报告主要围绕铁载体在各种细菌和真菌属中的存在情况和功能展开。
