Abstract excerpt
We showed that two very different manganese transporters occur in various important genera of marine bacteria. The ABC transporter encoded by sitABCD of the model Roseobacter-clade bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3 is required for Mn(2+) import and was repressed by the Mur (Manganese uptake regulator) transcriptional regulator in Mn-replete media. Most genome-sequenced Roseobacter strains contain SitABCD, which...
