The thirty chapters of this volume, written by an international group of scientists, provide a detailed overview of the research in microbial iron transport from the mid-20th century to the present. Chapters are included on the biochemical and physical properties of siderophores, structure of outer membrane receptor proteins, bacterial heme oxygenases, ferrous iron transport, the ecology of siderophores, and the mechanisms and regulation of iron uptake in the rhizobia. Notably, there are 14...
