Synthesis, nature and utility of universal iron chelator - Siderophore: A review.
Microbiological Research 2018 July
Siderophores, the secondary metabolite of various microorganisms are ferric ion specific chelators secreted under iron stressed condition. These non-ribosomal peptides have been classified as catecholate, hydroxamate, carboxylate and mixed types. Recent studies focus on discovery of possible mammalian siderophores. The biosynthesis pathway including non-ribosomal dependent as well as non-ribosomal independent pathways are of great interest now a days. Many significant roles of siderophores such as virulence in pathogens, oxidative stress tolerance, classification of organisms etc. are being discovered. Studies on siderophore utilization in bioremediation and other heavy metal chelation have increased in past decade. The iron chelation ability of siderophores is being recently studied with regards to malignant cancerous cells. Not only this, it has been found that they possess antimicrobial properties which can be utilized against number of microbes. This review covers all recent aspects of siderophore and its applications.
