Identification and Characterization of alcR, a Gene Encoding an AraC-Like Regulator of Alcaligin Siderophore Biosynthesis and Transport in Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica
Beaumont, Fiona C.; Kang, Ho Young; Brickman, Timothy J.; Armstrong, Sandra K. (East Carolina University, 1998-02)A Bordetella bronchiseptica iron transport mutant was isolated following an enrichment procedure based on streptonigrin resistance. The mutant displayed a growth defect on iron-restricted medium containing ferric alcaligin ... -
Identification and characterization of iron-regulated Bordetella pertussis alcaligin siderophore biosynthesis genes.
Kang, Ho Young; Brickman, Timothy J.; Beaumont, Fiona C.; Armstrong, Sandra K. (East Carolina University, 1996-08)Bordetella bronchiseptica mutants BRM1, BRM6, and BRM9 fail to produce the native dihydroxamate siderophore alcaligin. A 4.5-kb BamHI-SmaI Bordetella pertussis genomic DNA fragment carried multiple genes required to restore ...
