Genome-Wide Characterization of the Fur Regulatory Network Reveals a Link between Catechol Degradation and Bacillibactin Metabolism in Bacillus subtilis
Many bacteria synthesize high-affinity iron chelators (siderophores). Siderophore-mediated iron acquisition is an efficient and widely utilized strategy for bacteria to meet their cellular iron requirements. One prominent class of siderophores uses catecholate groups to chelate iron. B. subtilis bac...
