Metal ions are essential for life on Earth, mostly as crucial components of all living organisms; indeed, they are necessary for bioenergetics functions as crucial redox catalysts. Due to the essential role of iron in biological processes, body iron content is finely regulated and is the battlefield of a tug-of-war between the host and the microbiota.
金属离子对地球上的生命至关重要,主要作为所有生物体的关键组成部分;实际上,它们作为关键的氧化还原催化剂,对生物能量功能是必不可少的。由于铁在生物过程中的重要作用,机体铁含量受到精细调节,并且是宿主与微生物群之间激烈争夺的战场。
