Abstract excerpt
We found that, under iron-limiting conditions, Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7966(T) could utilize the xenosiderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) for growth by inducing the expression of its own outer membrane receptor. Two consecutive genes, desR and desA, were selected as candidates involved in DFOB utilization. The presence of the ferric-uptake regulator boxes in their promoters suggested that these genes are under...
