Kinetic Models Demonstrate Ability of Staphylococcus aureus to Uptake Heme from Beta vulgaris Proteins

Heme, a Fe-centred hexacoordinated organometallic compound mainly present in blood proteins, acts as a major source of iron (Fe2+) for various hemolytic microorganisms. This makes blood an essential mediumsupplement for characterizing such organisms. Considering the increasing blood demand for th...
