Ferredoxin containing bacteriocins suggest a novel mechanism of iron uptake in Pectobacterium spp.
In order to kill competing strains of the same or closely related bacterial species, many bacteria produce potent narrow-spectrum protein antibiotics known as bacteriocins. Two sequenced strains of the phytopathogenic bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum carry genes encoding putative bacteriocins wh...
