Bacillibactin-Mediated Iron Transport in <i>Bacillus </i><i>s</i><i>ubtilis</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The hexadentate triscatecholamide bacillibactin delivers iron to Bacillus subtilis and is structurally similar to enterobactin, although in a more oblate conformation. B. subtilis uses two partially overlapping permeases (1 and 2) to acquire iron from its endogenous siderophores (bacillibactin and itoic acid). Enterobactin and bacillibactin have opposite metal chiralities, different affinity for ferric ion, and dissimilar iron transport behaviors. The solution thermodynamic stability of ferric bacillibactin has been investigated through potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations. The addition of a glycine to the catechol chelating arms causes a destabilization of the ferric complex of bacillibactin compared to ferric enterobactin. B. subtilis appears to express a separate receptor for enterobactin (permease 3), although enterobactin can also be transported through the permease for bacillibactin (permease 2).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
