Iron is essential for the growth of most bacteria because it serves as a cofactor
for vital enzymes and for the components of the electron transport chain. Moreover,
Iron plays an important role in bacterial pathogenicity; in fact, the iron transport
systems in bacteria works as target for designing novel antibiotics. Because iron
is not soluble under aerobic conditions, bacteria have had to find ways to overcome
iron deficiency. One of them is producing an iron-chelating small organic molecule
called siderophore. Indeed, most bacteria and fungi produce structurally and chemically
diverse siderophores which are transported back to the cytoplasm using complex energy
dependent transport systems
