Overview
The thirty chapters of this volume, written by an international group of scientists, provide a detailed overview of the research in microbial iron transport from the mid-20th century to the present. Chapters are included on the biochemical and physical properties of siderophores, structure of outer membrane receptor proteins, bacterial heme oxygenases, ferrous iron transport, the ecology of siderophores, and the mechanisms and regulation of iron uptake in the rhizobia. Notably, there are 14 chapters on the iron transport systems in various pathogenic bacteria, including Yersinia, Vibrio, Neisseria, Haemophilus, and Legionella. A selected bibliography is included with each chapter. Crosa is with the department of molecular microbiology at Oregon Health and Science U. in Portland; his co-editors, Shelley M. Payne and Alexandra R. Mey, are at the U. of Texas, Austin. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
