The graphic shows how the bacterium Pandoraea sputorum absorbs iron (Fe³⁺) with the help of pandorabactins and thus competes with other lung bacteria for this resource.
Blue-colored scanning electron micrograph shows numerous oval bacterial cells of Pandoraea sputorum in dense distribution.
Pandorae bacteria produce #pandorabactins to steal #iron from other microbes, thus limiting competitors in the diseased lung of patients with cystic fibrosis or sepsis, as we show in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social Int Ed. #NewPaper #NaturalProducts #LeibnizHKI
