Characterization of Putative ExbB and ExbD Leads to the Identification of a Potential Tol-Pal System in Rhizobium leguminosarum ATCC 14479

Rhizobium leguminosarum is a Gram negative nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium. Due to the limited bioavailability of iron, bacteria utilize siderophores that scavenge and bind available iron. The transport of iron-siderophore complexes is achieved by the TonB-ExbB-ExbD complex. We have previously shown...
