Abstract
A sufficient supply of Fe ions is essential for all living organisms. But although iron is amongst the most abundant elements making up about 3.5% of the earth crust it is hard to come by for microorganisms. In the original (reducing) atmosphere of the world iron existed in its divalent form and was thus sufficiently soluble, but when the atmosphere became oxidative due to the photosynthetic activity of certain procarionts iron was precipitated as polymeric ferric oxide hydrate. The consequence is that at the physiological pH of 7.4 [Fe3+]max is 8.9. 10-7 g/1, by far too low for survival (the optimum for microorganisms is about 5.10-6 g/1). Therefore, microroganisms did develop intricate chemical systems to make iron available for them. This is achieved by creating a reductive microbiotope or - more commonly - by giving off complexing agents (ref. 1).
