Influence of iron concentration on the expression of the ferripyoverdine receptor gene FpvAIIb of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:

Glover, Rochelle and Schuster, Martin

Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental bacterium which opportunistically infects humans. Commonly residing in irondepleted environments, P. aeruginosa uses iron-chelating molecules called siderophores to scavenge iron from its environment. The most prevalent siderophore used by P. aeruginosa is known as pyoverdine. After the cell synthesizes and secretes pyoverdine, the molecule binds...
