Ferrous gluconate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Ferrous gluconate is a highly water-soluble iron-containing agent with high bioavailability and bactericidal activity. As a non-heme iron, Ferrous gluconate is used for meat product fortification and improvement of iron deficiency anemia. Ferrous gluconate induces ferroptosis in E. coli through Fe2+ infiltration, reactive oxygen species burst, lipid peroxidation and direct interaction with DNA. Ferrous gluconate also downregulates the SOS responsive transcriptional repressor LexA. In addition, Ferrous gluconate regulates multiple key pathways in E. coli such as fatty acid metabolism, iron-sulfur cluster assembly and pyruvate metabolism, and is applied in studies related to *E. coli* infection and iron deficiency anemia.

Biological Activity
Ferrous gluconate (12.5-400 μM; 1-9 h) potently kills E. coli MG1655, EHEC O157:H7 and ETEC H10407[1].
Ferrous gluconate (200 μM; 6 h) induces intracellular ROS burst in E. coli MG1655, and this ROS burst is involved in Ferrous gluconate-mediated cell death[1].
Ferrous gluconate (200 μM; 6 h) induces intracellular lipid peroxidation in E. coli MG1655, but attenuation of this lipid peroxidation does not reduce ferrous gluconate-mediated cell death[1].
Ferrous gluconate (200 μM; 6 h) increases the level of labile Fe2+ in E. coli MG1655 cells, where gluconate facilitates Fe2+ uptake into cells to accelerate cell death[1].
Ferrous gluconate (200 μM; 6 h) induces DNA damage in E. coli MG1655 and directly interacts with purified E. coli genomic DNA at concentrations ≥1 mM[1].
Ferrous gluconate (200 μM; 1 h) alters the proteome of E. coli MG1655, affecting pathways associated with lipid metabolism, iron-sulfur cluster assembly, and DNA damage response, including downregulation of the SOS repressor LexA[1].
