Transition Metals in Microbial Metabolism

By Gunther Winkelmann Copyright 1997

    The key role played by iron, as well as other transition metals, in microbial metabolism is investigated in this volume. Topics covered include: iron chelation and siderophores; receptor-mediated bacterial iron transport; and the nitogenases.

    Iron chelation and siderophores; biosynthetic and regulatory aspects of fungal siderphores; receptor-mediated bacterial iron transport; structure and biochemistry of methane monooxygenase enzyme systems; tungsten-containing aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductases; the nitrogenases.
