Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli has an iron(II) transport system (feo) which may make an important contribution to the iron supply of the cell under anaerobic conditions. Cloning and sequencing of the iron(II) transport genes revealed an open reading frame (feoA) possibly coding for a small protein with 75 amin...
