Recent research has shown that most of the iron in seawater is complexed by organic ligands, a condition that may affect the availability of iron to the biota.
Siderophores from marine bacteria could contribute to the iron ligand pool.
We investigated strains that are as closely related as possible to sequences that appear in molecular surveys, and strains from groups whose siderophores have not been previously studied.

 Siderophore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Siderophore (greek for iron carrier) is an iron chelating compound secreted by microorganisms.
Examples of siderophores produced by various bacteria and fungi are ferrichrome (Ustilago sphaerogena), enterobactin (Escherichia coli), enterobactin and bacillibactin (Bacillus subtilis), ferrioxamine B (Streptomyces pilosus), fusarinine C (Fusarium roseum), yersiniabactin (Yersinia pestis), vibriobactin (Vibrio cholerae), azotobactin (Azotobacter vinelandii), pseudobactin (Pseudomonas B 10) or erythrobactin (Saccharopolyspora erythraea).

Siderophore Biosynthesis But Not Reductive Iron Assimilation Is Essential for Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence
In striking contrast, A. fumigatus L-ornithine-N 5-monooxygenase (SidA), which catalyses the first committed step of hydroxamate-type siderophore biosynthesis, is absolutely essential for virulence.
Combined with the absence of a sidA ortholog—and the fungal siderophore system in general—in mammals, these data demonstrate that the siderophore biosynthetic pathway represents a promising new target for the development of antifungal therapies.

To identify the genes involved in siderophore synthesis and utilization in A. salmonicida, mutants were generated using the mini-transposon mini-Tn5K, and screened for defects in the production of siderophore activity on chromazurol S agar (CAS agar).
One such mutant, designated AStn-11, grew poorly and overproduced siderophore activity when grown on CAS agar, this phenotype is likely due to the insertion occurring in a transport gene.
By thin layer chromatography we confirmed that multiple siderophores are produced by this strain and showed that the salF gene is essential for the production of one of the siderophores produced.

 Sloan-Kettering - Projects: Siderophore Biosynthesis Inhibitors
One specialized mechanism of iron uptake involves the biosynthesis of siderophores, non-ribosomal peptide/polyketide natural products with extremely high affinity for Fe Bacteria export these siderophores into the medium of the mammalian host, where they capture iron from mammalian proteins.
The siderophores are then actively transported back into the bacterial cells.
Small molecules that block siderophore biosynthesis and, hence, iron uptake are attractive targets for the development of new antibiotics to treat multidrug resistant infections.

The forces of interaction were measured between the siderophore azotobactin and the minerals goethite (FeOOH) and diaspore (AlOOH) in solution using force microscopy.
Ab initio calculations on siderophore fragment analogs suggest the iron affinity can be attributed to increased electron density associated with the Fe-O bond compared to the Al-O bond; an observation that correlates with iron’s larger electronegativity compared to aluminum.
Attachment of the ligand to each surface was directed by steric forces within the molecule and coulombic interactions between the siderophore oxygens and the metals in the mineral.
