Siderophore and Its Applications in the Field of Bioenvironmental Researches
Iron, one of the essential micronutrients, is needed for electron transport and metabolic processes in almost all living organisms. The ferric form (Fe3+) of iron is insoluble in nature and inaccessible at physiological pH (7.35–7.40). Under iron-limited conditions, metal-chelating agents such as siderophores are synthesized by many bacteria and a few fungi. Siderophores have a high affinity fo...
متن کاملFerrioxamine Siderophores Detected amongst Iron Binding Ligands Produced during the Remineralization of Marine Particles
The microbial degradation of marine particles is an important process in the remineralization of nutrients including iron. As part of the GEOTRACES process study (FeCycle II), we conducted incubation experiments with marine particles obtained from 30 to 100m depth at two stations during austral spring in the subtropical waters east of the North Island of New Zealand. The particles were collecte...
متن کاملBacterial vs. zooplankton control of sinking particle flux in the ocean’s twilight zone
The downward flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) decreases significantly in the ocean’s mesopelagic or ‘twilight’ zone due both to abiotic processes and metabolism by resident biota. Bacteria and zooplankton solubilize and consume POC to support their metabolism, but the relative importance of bacteria vs. zooplankton in the consumption of sinking particles in the twilight zone is unknown....
متن کامل17. Bacterial Siderophores and their Biotechnological applications
Siderophore is the Greek phrase for “iron bearer” and is applied to molecules that can bind metals at very high affinities. Marine bacteria as do their terrestrial counterparts, secrete siderophores, which are small peptide molecules, readily assembled by short dedicated metabolic pathways which contain side chains and functional groups that can provide a high affinity set of ligands for coordi...
متن کاملEarly spring mesopelagic carbon remineralization and transfer efficiency in the naturally iron-fertilized Kerguelen area
We report on the zonal variability of mesopelagic particulate organic carbon remineralization and deep carbon transfer potential during the Kerguelen Ocean and Plateau compared Study 2 expedition (KEOPS 2; October– November 2011) in an area of the polar front supporting recurrent massive blooms from natural Fe fertilization. Mesopelagic carbon remineralization (MR) was assessed using the excess...
