TonB-protein interactions in nutrient uptake systems of «Escherichia coli»
Nutrient acquisition by Gram-negative bacteria requires strategies for passage across the outer membrane (OM). Because iron is a vital nutrient for bacteria, we aim to elucidate the molecular mechanism of its uptake. === In an aerobic environment, ferric iron is predominant but exhibits low solubil...
