Natural combinatorial genetics and prolific polyamine production enable siderophore diversification in Serratia plymuthica

Abstract Background Iron is essential for bacterial survival. Bacterial siderophores are small molecules with unmatched capacity to scavenge iron from proteins and the extracellular milieu, where it mostly occurs as insoluble Fe3+. Siderophores chela...
