Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Iron homeostasis is a key metabolism for most organisms. In many bacterial species, coordinate regulation of iron homeostasis depends on the protein product of a Fur gene. Fur also plays roles in virulence, acid tolerance, redox-stress responses, flagella chemotaxis and metabolic pathways. RESULTS: We conducted physiological and transcriptomic studies to characterize Fur in Shewanella oneidensis, with...
