Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental bacterium which
opportunistically infects humans. Commonly residing in irondepleted
environments, P. aeruginosa uses iron-chelating
molecules called siderophores to scavenge iron from its
environment. The most prevalent siderophore used by P.
aeruginosa is known as pyoverdine. After the cell synthesizes and
secretes pyoverdine, the molecule binds...
