Abstract excerpt
Haemophilus ducreyi can bind hemoglobin and use it as a source of heme, for which it has an obligate requirement. We previously identified and purified HgbA, a hemoglobin-binding outer membrane protein from H. ducreyi. In this report, we describe the molecular cloning, expression, DNA sequence, a...
