Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to have an inducible uptake system for the enterobacterial siderophore enterobactin. In this work we have examined iron transport mediated by the biosynthetic precursor 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid and N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-L-serine, a breakdown product of enterobactin. Iron complexed with 2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-L-serine was transported into P. aeruginosa IA1 via a transport system...
