Characterization of the Genes Involved in Biosynthesis and Transport of Schizokinen, a Siderophore Produced by <em>Rhizobium leguminosarum</em> IARI 917.

Iron is the 4th most abundant metal on the earth's crust and is required by most organisms as a cofactor for many enzymes; however, at physiological pH and aerobic conditions iron forms insoluble ferric oxyhydroxide polymers. Siderophores are low molecular weight compounds that scavenge ferric...
