A key role for the periplasmic PfeE esterase in iron acquisition via the siderophore enterobactin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Enterobactin (ENT) is a siderophore (iron-chelating compound) produced by Escherichia coli to gain access to iron, an indispensable nutrient for bacterial growth. ENT is used as an exosiderophore by Pseudomonas aeruginosa with transport of ferri-ENT across the outer membrane by the PfeA transporter....
