Growth of<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>in zinc poor environments is promoted by a nicotianamine‐related metallophore
12 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested that P. aeruginosa possesses redundant zinc uptake systems. To identify uncharacterized zinc transporters, we analyzed the genome-wide transcriptional responses of P. aeruginosa PA14 to zinc restriction. This approach led to the identification of an operon (zrmABCD) regulated by the zinc uptake regulator Zur, that encodes for a metallophore-mediated zinc import system. This operon...
