Identification of iron and zinc responsive TonB-dependent transporters in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs a repertoire of TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) to acquire essential nutrients, such as iron-siderophore complexes, enabling its adaptation to diverse and often hostile environments. While the roles of some TBDTs in virulence and metal acquisition are well-established, many remain poo...
