Abstract excerpt

Vibrio vulnificus, an opportunistic human pathogen, can obtain iron from a variety of heme proteins. This process involves the digestion of heme proteins by an exoprotease to liberate protoheme (iron-protoporphyrin IX). In the present study, we isolated and characterized a mutant for protoheme utilization. One mutant isolated by treatment with a chemical mutagen was shown to be unable to use either protoheme or...
