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 of enterobactin and its degradation product 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid) 5- to 9-fold while cells supplemented with...
