Acquisition of Iron by Alkaliphilic Bacillus Species

The biochemical and molecular mechanisms used by alkaliphilic bacteria to acquire iron are unknown. We demonstrate that alkaliphilic (pH > 9) Bacillus species are sensitive to artificial iron (Fe(3+)) chelators and produce iron-chelating molecules. These alkaliphilic siderophores contain catechol...
