Abstract excerpt
Pyoverdin production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 7NSK2 was induced by Zn(II) in the presence of iron. A mutant was isolated in which Zn(II) no longer induced pyoverdin production. The sss gene which was inactivated in this mutant was cloned and sequenced. Its protein sequence showed 50% iden...
