Isolation of mutants of Vibrio anguillarum defective in haeme utilisation and cloning of huvA, a gene coding for an outer membrane protein involved in the use of haeme as iron source.

Abstract excerpt

The isolation of Vibrio anguillarum mutants lacking the ability to use haemin and haemoglobin as the only iron sources, as well as the identification of a gene involved in haeme utilisation are described. One of the isolated mutants defective in haeme utilisation lacked an iron-regulated outer membrane protein of 79-kDa. Although growth on haeme as iron source was completely abolished, the haemin and haemoglobin...
