Iron is an essential nutrient for bacterial pathogenesis. In their study, Skaar and colleagues (Pi et al.) discovered and determined the detailed structure of ferrosomes within Clostridioides difficile, the iron-storage organelles that form under iron-limited conditions in anticipation of future iron overload.
铁是细菌发病机制的必需营养素。在他们的研究中,Skaar 和同事们(Pi 等人)发现并确定了艰难梭菌中 Ferrosomes 的详细结构,这是一种在缺铁条件下形成的铁储存细胞器,以应对未来的铁过载。
