Abstract excerpt
Uptake of iron complexes into the gram-negative bacterial cell requires highly specific outer membrane receptors and specific ATP-dependent (ATP-Binding-Cassette (ABC)) transport systems located in the inner membrane. The latter type of import system is characterized by a periplasmic binding protein (BP), integral membrane proteins, and membrane-associated ATP-hydrolyzing proteins. In gram-positive bacteria...
