Abstract
- Bacteria use small molecules to impose strict regulation over the acquisition, uptake, and sequestration of transition metal ions. Low-abundance nutrient metals, such as Fe(III), need to be scavenged from the environment by high-affinity chelating molecules called siderophores. Conversely, metal ions that become toxic at high concentrations need to be sequestered and detoxified. Often, bacteria produce a suite of compounds that bind various metal ions at different affinities in order to maintain homeostasis. Turnerbactin, a triscatecholate siderophore isolated from the intracellular shipworm symbiont
