Inhibition of iron uptake and deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by Desferal in a mutant strain of Bacillus subtilis.

J E Arceneaux, B R Byers
PMCID: PMC235147  PMID: 403182

Abstract

In the Bacillus subtilis mutant 1D-4, the hydroxamate Desferal inhibited growth, iron uptake, and deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis but did not quantitatively affect synthesis of ribonucleic acid and protein.
