Identification of iron regulated genes in the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida: genetic diversity and evidence of conserved iron uptake systems.

Abstract excerpt

In this study we applied the Fur titration assay (FURTA) to isolate iron regulated genes in Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, the causative agent of furunculosis in fish. We have identified genes for siderophore biosynthesis and for ferri-siderophore transport, some of which have been previously described in this species. A gene for a hitherto uncharacterized functional hemin receptor HutE was identified,...
