Iron Deficiency Modulates Metabolic Landscape of <i>Bacteroidetes</i> Promoting Its Resilience during Inflammation
Janina P. Lewis, Qin Gui
Abstract
Bacteroidetes are an important group of anaerobic bacteria abundant both in the oral and gut microbiomes. Although iron is a required nutrient for most living organisms, the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to the changing levels of iron are not well known in this group of bacteria.
