Amphi-enterobactin is an amphiphilic siderophore isolated from a variety of microbial Vibrio species. Like enterobactin, amphi-enterobactin is a triscatecholate siderophore; however, it is framed on an expanded tetralactone core comprised of four L-Ser residues, of which one L-Ser is appended by a fatty acid and the remaining L-Ser residues are app...

Although urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect many people, they are usually a disease observed in women. UTIs happen when exogenous and endogenous bacteria enter the urinary tract and colonize there. Cystitis and pyelonephritis occur when bacteria infect the bladder and the kidneys, respectively. UTIs become much serious if the bacteria causing t...

Genomic and metabolomic studies of endolithic bacteria are essential for understanding their adaptations to extreme conditions of the rock environment and their contributions to mineralization and weathering processes. The endoliths of arid serpentine rocks are exposed to different environmental stresses, including desiccation and re-hydration, tem...

Siderophores are small molecular weight iron scavengers that are mainly produced by bacteria, fungi, and plants. Recently, they have attracted increasing attention because of their potential role in environmental bioremediation. Although siderophores are generally considered to exhibit high specificity for iron, they have also been reported to bind...

Citrate (Cit) and Deferoxamine B (DFOB) are two important organic ligands coexisting in soils with distinct different affinities for metal ions. It has been theorized that siderophores and weak organic ligands play a synergistic role during the transport of micronutrients in the rhizosphere, but the geochemical controls of this process remain unkno...

Yeasts are potential plant-growth-promoting microbes; however, this resource is underexploited, mainly in the semiarid regions worldwide. In the present study, we isolated potentially endophytic yeasts from roots of fieldgrown maize and characterized them at molecular, biochemical, and associative levels. Thirteen yeasts were retrieved, and the ITS...

Superoxide and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) shape microbial communities and drive the transformation of metals and inorganic/organic matter. Taxonomically diverse bacteria and phytoplankton produce extracellular superoxide during laboratory cultivation. Understanding the physiological reasons for extracellular superoxide production by aerobe...

Piscibactin (Pcb) is a labile siderophore widespread among Vibrionaceae. Its production is a major virulence factor of some fish pathogens such as Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida and Vibrio anguillarum. Although FrpA was previously suggested as the putative outer membrane transporter (OMT) for ferri-piscibactin, its role in piscibactin upt...

Amonabactins, the siderophores produced by some pathogenic bacteria belonging to Aeromonas genus, can be used for the preparation of conjugates to be imported into the cell using their specific transport machinery. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a new amonabactin-based fluorescent probe by conjugation of the appropriate amonabactin a...

In the present study, an analysis of antimicrobial activity; and an assessment of genomic biocontrol attributes of the recently described radioresistant strain Kocuria rhizophila PT10 were conducted. PT10, a Gram-positive and yellow pigmented actinobacterial strain, was isolated from the roots of xerophyte Panicum turgidum collected from Ksar Ghila...
