Siderophore-mediated iron acquisition in the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila L48 and Pseudomonas putida KT2440 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Pseudomonas entomophila L48 is a recently identified entomopathogenic bacterium which, upon ingestion, kills Drosophila melanogaster, and is closely related to P. putida. The complete genome of this species has been sequenced and therefore a genomic, genetic and structural analysis of the siderophore-mediated iron acquisition was undertaken. P. entomophila produces two siderophores, a structurally new and unique pyoverdine and the secondary ...
