Public good dynamics drive evolution of iron acquisition strategies in natural bacterioplankton populations
A common strategy among microbes living in iron-limited environments is the secretion of siderophores, which can bind poorly soluble iron and make it available to cells via active transport mechanisms. Such siderophore–iron complexes can be thought of as public goods that can be exploited by local c...
