Abstract excerpt
Pyoverdine is the primary siderophore of the gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The pyoverdine region was recently identified as the most divergent locus alignable between strains in the P. aeruginosa genome. Here we report the nucleotide sequence and analysis of more than 50 kb in the pyoverdine region from nine strains of P. aeruginosa. There are three divergent sequence types in the pyoverdine...
