Bacterial siderophores in community and host interactions

Secreted siderophores help bacteria to take up iron from the environment. In this Review, Kramer, Özkaya and Kümmerli discuss the functions and implications that siderophores have for social interactions between bacterial cells and the resulting consequences for communities and hosts.

Coordination of siderophore gene expression among clonal cells of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Tracking of growth and siderophore gene expression at the single-cell level in growing populations of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa provides insight into bacterial social behaviours among cells in clonal groups.

Microbiome convergence enables siderophore-secreting-rhizobacteria to improve iron nutrition and yield of peanut intercropped with maize

Intercropping has the potential to improve plant nutrition and crop yield. Here, the authors intercrop peanut and maize and show that Pseudomonas secreted siderophore pyoverdine play an important role in plant iron nutrition.

Integrating microbial siderophores into concepts of plant iron nutrition

The concept of plant iron nutrition has been largely based on two strategies involving iron reduction in the rhizosphere or the secretion of phytosiderophores. Here the authors highlight the importance of microbial siderophores for plant iron nutrition.

Siderophore cheating and cheating resistance shape competition for iron in soil and freshwater Pseudomonas communities

Lab strains of Pseudomonas are model systems for the evolution of cooperation over public goods (iron-scavenging siderophores). Here, Butaitė et al. add ecological and evolutionary insight into this system by showing that cheating and resistance to cheating both shape competition for iron in natural Pseudomonas communities.

Quorum sensing triggers the stochastic escape of individual cells from Pseudomonas putida biofilms

Bacteria secrete signalling molecules (AHLs) to coordinate actions such as biofilm formation and the release of public goods, in a process called quorum sensing. Here, the authors show that AHLs are stochastically produced and control asocial (self-directed) traits in young biofilms of P. putida.

RNA-Seq reveals that Pseudomonas aeruginosa mounts growth medium-dependent competitive responses when sensing diffusible cues from Burkholderia cenocepacia

Transcriptomic data show that the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa reacts to secreted compounds from its competitor Burkholderia cenocepacia by upregulating a set of competitive traits that vary as a function of iron availability in the medium.

Competition for iron drives phytopathogen control by natural rhizosphere microbiomes

In rhizosphere microbial communities, iron competition via secreted siderophores can be used as a predictor of commensal–pathogen interactions and plant protection against infection with the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.
