Abstract excerpt
We screened a collection of 4847 haploid knockout strains (EUROSCARF collection) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for iron uptake from the siderophore ferrioxamine B (FOB). A large number of mutants showed altered uptake activities, and a few turned yellow when grown on agar plates with added FOB, indicating increased intracellular accumulation of undissociated siderophores. A subset consisting of 197 knockouts with...
