Abstract excerpt
Members of the ferritin-like Dps protein family are found in a number of bacterial species, where they demonstrate the potential to bind iron, and have been implicated in tolerance to oxidative stress. In this study of the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, the fri gene encoding a Dps homologue was deleted, and, compared to wild-type cells, it was found that the resulting mutant was less resistant to...
