Two TonB-dependent outer membrane transporters involved in heme uptake in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

Low availability of micronutrients such as iron has enforced the evolution of uptake systems in all kingdoms of life. In Gram-negative bacteria, outer membrane, periplasmatic and plasma membrane localized proteins facilitate the uptake of iron-loaded chelators, which are energized by TonB proteins....
