A co-conserved gene pair supports <i>Caulobacter</i> iron homeostasis during chelation stress
2024-10-17
Abstract excerpt
Synthetic metal chelators are widely used in industrial, clinical, and agricultural settings, leading to their accumulation in the environment. We measured the growth of Caulobacter crescentus , a soil and aquatic bacterium, in the presence of the ubiquitous chelator ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and found that it restricts growth by lowering intracellular iron levels. Using barcoded transposon sequencin...
