Abstract
The control of nutrient availability is an essential ecological function of the host organism in host-microbe systems. Although often overshadowed by macronutrients such as carbohydrates, micronutrient metals are known as key drivers of host-microbe interactions. The ways in which host organisms control nutrient metal availability are dictated by principles in bioinorganic chemistry. Here I ponder about the actions of metal-binding molecules from the host organism in controlling nutrient metal availability to the host microbiota. I hope that these musings will encourage new explorations into the fundamental roles of metals in the ecology of diverse host-microbe systems.
期刊介绍：
Biological inorganic chemistry is a growing field of science that embraces the principles of biology and inorganic chemistry and impacts other fields ranging from medicine to the environment. JBIC (Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry) seeks to promote this field internationally. The Journal is primarily concerned with advances in understanding the role of metal ions within a biological matrix—be it a protein, DNA/RNA, or a cell, as well as appropriate model studies. Manuscripts describing high-quality original research on the above topics in English are invited for submission to this Journal. The Journal publishes original articles, minireviews, and commentaries on debated issues.
