+ or − indicates growth or lack of growth around the specified iron source
1 µl of each iron source was spotted on the surface of the plates in the following concentrations; ferric ammonium citrate: 10 mg/ml; enterobactin: 1.0 mg/ml; 2,3-DHBA: 3.0 mg/ml; vanchrobactin: 1.0 mg/ml; hemin: 20 µg/ml
Mutations in chromosomally encoded genes were complemented by genes expressed from the low copy-number expression vector pMMB208. Expression was induced with 1 mM IPTG
