Rn. Chakraborty et al., STUDIES ON IRON UPTAKE AND ITS EFFECT ON THE OUTER-MEMBRANE PROTEINS OF PSEUDOMONAS-STUTZERI RC-7, Current microbiology, 28(6), 1994, pp. 321-323
Pseudomonas stutzeri RC-7, grown under iron-deficient conditions, prod
uced catechol-type siderophore. Iron uptake was enhanced by the presen
ce of its own siderophore. The production of iron-binding protein with
molecular weight of 55,000 in the outer membrane was found to be supp
ressed in iron-supplemented conditions. In contrast, another protein w
ith molecular weight of 42,000 was induced under the same conditions.
