Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive synergy between catechol and lysine promotes wet adhesion by surface salt displacement
TL;DR: Using bacterial iron chelators consisting of paired DOPA and lysine groups as analogs for the mussel proteins, Maier et al. show that these two functional groups synergistically enhance interfacial adhesion, revealing a synergistic interplay that enables wet adhesion to mineral surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vanadium Peroxide Complexes
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition among marine phytoplankton for different chelated iron species
TL;DR: Competition between prokaryotes and eukaryotes for organically-bound iron may depend on the chemical nature of available iron complexes, with consequences for ecological niche separation, plankton community size-structure and carbon export in low-iron waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemical cycling of iron in the surface ocean mediated by microbial iron(III)-binding ligands.
TL;DR: It is suggested that Fe(iii)-binding ligands can enhance the photolytic production of reactive iron species in the euphotic zone and so influence iron availability in aquatic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Iron Acquisition: Marine and Terrestrial Siderophores
Moriah Sandy,Alison Butler +1 more
TL;DR: Comparison of marine microbial iron transport compared to terrestrial and pathogenic microbes may hint at the biological advantage that these structural traits confer to marine microbes and very possibly provide insights to siderophore-mediated iron uptake in some pathogens.
