RESUMO
A plasmid containing a pColV-K30 fragment that encoded only for the cloacin DF13/aerobactin receptor protein was constructed. Escherichia coli cells harboring this plasmid were sensitive to cloacin DF13 but were unable to take up ferric-aerobactin. Another pColV-K30-determined polypeptide (molecular weight, 50,000), localized in the membrane fraction, was essential for the uptake of ferric-aerobactin.
