In order to elucidate the role of Vibrio vulnificus metalloprotease VvpE in the uptake of iron from human transferrin, we constructed a VvpE-deficient mutant and a merozygotic vvpE-transcriptional reporter from the wild type strain MO6-24/O. All three strains were able to grow only in deferrated Heart Infusion broth (DF-HI) with human holotransferrin (HT), but not in DF-HI containing partially iron-saturated...
