Enterobactin carries iron into <i>C. elegans</i> and mammalian intestinal cells by a mechanism independent of divalent metal transporter DMT1
2024-12-21
Abstract excerpt
The diverse microbiota of the intestine is expected to benefit the host, yet the beneficial metabolites derived from the microbiota are still poorly understood. Enterobactin (Ent) is a well- known secreted iron-scavenging siderophore made by bacteria to fetch iron from the host or environment. Little was known about a positive role of Ent until a recent discovery in the nematode C. elegans indicated a beneficial...
