Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, fur mutants that constitutively express their native iron chelating agent, enterobactin, are significantly more sensitive to near-UV radiation (NUV) than wild type, An entA mutant, which is incapable of synthesizing enterobactin, is equal to wild type in resistance to NUV irradiation. However, the addition of Fe+3 enterobactin but not AI+3 enterobactin to entA cell suspensions just prior to...
