Molecular basis for the biosynthesis of the siderophore coprogen in the cheese-ripening fungus Penicillium roqueforti

Molecular basis for the biosynthesis of the siderophore coprogen in the cheese-ripening fungus Penicillium roqueforti

Abstract Background Iron is an essential nutrient for microorganisms, including fungi, which have evolved strategies to acquire it. The most common strategy is the secretion of siderophores, low-molecular-weight compounds with a high affinity for ferric ions, which are involved in cellular iron upta...
