Abstract excerpt
Under low-iron conditions, Escherichia coli synthesizes the siderophore enterobactin. When compared to wild-type cells grown in iron sufficient medium, cells grown under iron limitation, in the absence of tyrosine and phenylalanine or the presence of both, increased catechol production (a measure...
