Bioinformatic Mapping of Opine-Like Zincophore Biosynthesis in Bacteria
Bacteria must acquire essential nutrients, including zinc, from their environment. For bacterial pathogens, this necessitates overcoming the host metal-withholding response known as nutritional immunity. A novel type of zinc uptake mechanism that involves the bacterial production of a small zinc-sca...
