Abstract excerpt
A new gene from Bordetella bronchiseptica, bfrZ encoding a putative siderophore receptor, was identified in a Fur-repressor titration assay. A bfrZ null mutant was constructed by allelic exchange. The protein profile of this mutant is similar to that of the wild-type parent strain. The BfrZ(-)-BfrZ(+) isogenic pair was tested for utilization of 132 different siderophores as iron sources. None of these iron...
