Pseudomonas aeruginosa relies on the redox cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) for efficient glucose and ethanol metabolism via periplasmic dehydrogenases (Gcd and ExaA). While PQQ biosynthesis is well-characterized, its uptake mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify PA2289 (PqqU), a TonB-dependent transporter...

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...
Different transcriptional logics that allow P. aeruginosa to sense and decode a wide array of environmental catechols, integrate this information with iron availability, and thereby deploy an iron-uptake strategy finely tuned to competitive and host-associated niches are revealed.
