Mechanisms and Regulation of Iron Homeostasis in the Rhizobia

Rhizobia are soil bacteria belonging to different genera whose most conspicuous characteristic is the ability to establish a symbiotic association with legumes and carry out nitrogen fixation. The success of these organisms in the rhizosphere or within the host plant involves the ability to sense th...

description Rhizobia are soil bacteria belonging to different genera whose most conspicuous characteristic is the ability to establish a symbiotic association with legumes and carry out nitrogen fixation. The success of these organisms in the rhizosphere or within the host plant involves the ability to sense the environment to assess the availability of nutrients, and to optimize cellular systems for their acquisition. Iron in natural habitats is mostly inaccessible due to low solubility, and microorganisms must compete for this limited nutrient. In addition to their agricultural and economic importance, rhizobia are model organisms that have given new insights into related, but less tractable animal pathogens. In particular, genetic control of iron homeostasis in the rhizobia and other a-Proteobacteria has moved away from the Fur paradigm to an iron sensing mechanism responding to the metal indirectly. Moreover, utilization of heme as an iron source is not unique to animal pathogens, and the rhizobial strategy reveals some interesting novel features. This chapter reviews advances in our understanding of iron metabolism in rhizobia.
