| T141 | 0-166 | Sentence | denotes | Although LF has various means to counteract bacteria as part of its immune function (131), it is also capable of being hijacked to benefit the activities of bacteria. |
| T142 | 167-245 | Sentence | denotes | Thus, bacteria can also exploit LF by removing its bound ferric iron (19, 30). |
| T143 | 246-565 | Sentence | denotes | This process involves (1) synthesis of high-affinity ferric ion chelators by bacteria, (2) iron acquisition through LF or transferrin binding, mediated by bacterial-specific surface bacterial receptors, (3) or iron acquisition through bacterial reductases, which are able to reduce ferric to ferrous ions (19, 144–148). |
