Figure 1

Model of siderophore mediated interactions between three organisms. The thick lines indicate transport by one organism of the Fe-Sid produced by the other organism. The dashed lines represent ligand exchange by which one Sid displaces another Sid chelating and Fe3+ iron. Degradation pathways, including biological and chemical mechanisms, are represented by the thin black arrowed lines.
