One of the most common strategies for iron accumulation is siderophore production. Siderophores are lowmolecular- weight compounds (500–1500 daltons) possessing a high affinity and selectivity for iron(III). The biosynthesis of siderophores is typically regulated by the iron levels of the environment where the organism is located. A large proportion of bacterial siderophore uptake studies have been centered on enteric bacteria, as typified by Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.ensiderophoresprotein FepAphylogenetic analysisArticle
