In the past few decades, it has been realized through research that
fungal siderophores epitomize the uptake of iron as well as other
essential elements like zinc, magnesium, copper, nickel and
arsenic. Understanding the chemical structures of different fungal
siderophores and the membrane receptors involved in uptake of
mineral ions has opened new areas for research. In this edited
volume, recent research is presented on fungal siderophores in one
comprehensive volume to provide researchers a strong base for
future research. Siderophores are the low molecular weight, high
affinity iron-chelating compounds produced by bacteria and fungi.
They are responsible for transporting iron across the cell
membrane. Fungi produce a range of hydroxamate siderophores
involved in the uptake of essential elements in almost all
microorganisms and plants. In recent years, siderophores have been
used in molecular imaging applications to visualize and understand
cellular functions, which thus provide an opportunity to identify
new drug targets. Therefore, knowledge of fungal siderophores has
become vital in current research. Siderophores have received much
attention in recent years because of their potential roles and
applications in various research areas. Their significance in these
applications is because siderophores have the ability to bind a
variety of metals in addition to iron, and they have a wide range
of chemical structures and specific properties. For instance,
siderophores function as biocontrols, biosensors, and
bioremediation and chelation agents, in addition to their important
role in weathering soil minerals and enhancing plant growth. This
book focuses on siderophores with the following significant points.
It discusses leading, state-of-the-art research in all possible
areas on fungal siderophores. The contributors are well-known and
recognized authorities in the field of fungal siderophores. It
discusses a projection of practical applications of fungal
siderophores in various domains. This is the first book exclusively
on fungal siderophores. In this comprehensive, edited volume, we
show leading research on fungal siderophores and provide the most
recent knowledge of researchers' work on siderophores. This book
presents in-depth knowledge on siderophores to researchers working
in areas of health sciences, microbiology, plant sciences,
biotechnology, and bioinformatics.
