Comparative Genomic Insights Into the Biosynthesis and Regulation of Mycobacterial Siderophores

Iron is essential for nearly all biological events. Siderophores are indispensable for most organisms to obtain iron from iron-limiting milieus. This holds particularly true for pathogens such as the causative agent of tuberculosis – Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The categories of mycobacterial sidero...
