Abstract excerpt
The transport of Fe(III)-siderophore complexes and vitamin B12 across the outer membrane of Escherichia coli is an active transport process requiring a cognate outer membrane receptor, cytoplasmic membrane-derived proton motive force, and an energy-transducing protein anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane, TonB. This process requires direct physical contact between the outer membrane receptor and TonB. Previous...
