A modeling and simulation study of siderophore mediated antagonism in dual-species biofilms

BACKGROUND: Several bacterial species possess chelation mechanisms that allow them to scavenge iron from the environment under conditions of limitation. To this end they produce siderophores that bind the iron and make it available to the cells later on, while rendering it unavailable to other organ...
