Siderophores play crucial role in biogeochemical cycle in terrestrial as well as marine environment. Siderophores of from marine habitats have been extensively studied, however, comparatively less information is available on their fungal counter parts. This review focuses on siderophores of marine-derived fungi, molecular mechanism of biosynthesis and their uptake. Their chemical nature and applications are also discussed. Data so far available on marine fungal siderophores are found to be very interesting. Though less explored, the information available reveals novelty in chemical nature of siderophores of marine-derived fungi, i.e. occurrence of catecholates in fungi and carboxylates in non- mucoraceous fungi, which is the first-ever report. Further investigations on marine-derived fungal siderophores would be an interesting area of research.

Introduction low concentration affecting the primary production. Marine affected by Iron is an essential macronutrient for the growth this critical situation cope up with this stressing of microorganisms. It plays crucial role in condition by producing siderophores to gain iron various cellular processes like DNA/RNA in HNLC regions [9-19]. While much work is synthesis, ATP synthesis, respiration and also as done on bacterial siderophores from marine [1] a cofactor of numerous enzymes . Despite its habitats, fungal siderophores have been imperative role in microbial growth and being completely overlooked [19]. As siderophore bountiful in nature, iron is not effortlessly production by fungi in marine habitats is an available to microbes due to formation of ferric interesting yet under explored area, this article oxyhydroxide at neutral to alkaline pH in which mainly focuses on siderophores produced by [2, 3] the earth abounds . To combat this stress marine-derived fungi. Our laboratory had microbes (mostly aerobic bacteria, fungi and contributed some pioneering work in this field. others) have developed a strategy i.e. Vala et al. (2000) [20] had reported their work on through production of siderophores. siderophores of facultative marine fungi. They Siderophores are low molecular weight had worked with thirteen strains out of which, 3+ [4, compounds with the strongest affinity for Fe ten produced siderophores which were 5] 3+ 2+ . They facilitate the conversion of Fe to Fe recognized as hydroxamates and carboxylates. [6] and make it available to microbes . The term Rests of three strains were non siderophore ‘siderophore’ had been coined from Greek word producers. The absence of siderophores in meaning “iron bearer”. The first siderophore marine environment may be due to diffusion discovered was ferrichrome produced by which makes siderophore production an Ustilago sphaerogena which can work as unprofitable exercise for the isolates. Other [7] growth factor for others . Siderophores have reason could be replacement of ferredoxins by gained interest in medical science due to its iron flavodoxin which requires Mn2+ rather than Fe3+ chelating efficiency for example, in some marine isolates. However, imperative Deferrioxamine-B – a natural siderophore need for iron-dependent respiratory chains for produced by pilosus is broadly aerobic life cannot be overlooked hence, non- used in iron overload conditions during repeated detection could also be a possibility than non- [8] blood transfusions .

(2004)[24] had given comparative data on hydroxy-L-ornithine with different possible acyl siderophore production of marine and terrestrial groups. These units are covalently linked via fungi. They had selected ten marine and ten ester or peptide bonds to linear or cyclic terrestrial fungal isolates. Screening these fungal oligomeric iron chelators by nonribosomal isolates for siderophore production revealed peptide synthetases (NRPSs) in the third step valuable information about abundance of these and finally the NRPS products can be altered molecules in both the habitats. Amongst these, a further by non-NRPS enzymes in order to yield marine fungus Cunninghamella elegans was siderophore diversity [26, 28, 29]. found to produce maximum (1987.5 µg/mL) siderophores while terrestrial C. elegans produced 1248.75 µg/mL indicating that marine fungi are equally important source of siderophores though less exploited. Some marine-derived fungi proved to be even more efficient siderophore producers when compared with terrestrials. Vala et al., (2006)[25] had reported data regarding aspergilli from two different habitats: five from marine and five from terrestrial. Aspergillus versicolor, a marine isolate synthesized the highest 182.5 µg/mL on the fifteenth day and the lowest producers also were marine Aspergillus sp. and Aspergillus niger. Moreover, aspergilli from both the habitats were producers of hydroxamate siderophores. Looking to the importance of marine-derived fungal siderophores which are yet under explored, our laboratory has extended the work on their role in mangrove reclamation by [Fig. 1 Biosynthetic pathway of siderophores from A. examining thirty four fungal isolates associated fumigatus and A. nidulans (Adapted from Gründlinger et with mangrove Avicennia marina along Gujarat, al., (2013a) [30]] West Coast of India.

Transport of iron-ssiderophoreiderophore complex in fungi

MicroorganismsMicroorganisms depend on receptors present in various compartments of the cell envelope for siderophore uptake. There are four different mechanisms for siderophororee mediated Fe3+ transport in fungi[37,38] as depicted in Fig. 2.
