10. 56Fe (91.75%) isotope. The availability of this iron can be limited during culture experiments by the addition of an aqueous phase iron chelator, but this was found to selectively remove iron from transferrin, and therefore no chelator was used in the present experiments. The potential sources of natural iron in our experiments include the natural iron stores of the bacteria, rust introduced by handling procedures and as a laboratory contaminant, and iron leached from the walls of containers used to handle the analytical solutions.
