Abstract excerpt
Transport of siderophores of the hydroxamate type across the Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membrane depends on a periplasmic binding-protein-dependent (PBT) system. This uptake system consists of the binding protein FhuD, the membrane-associated putative ATP-hydrolase FhuC and the integral membran...
