Fur is not the global regulator of iron uptake genes in Rhizobium leguminosarum

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Rhizobium leguminosarum fur mutants. The authors report that these mutants have been unaffected in iron-dependent operon regulation, and discuss differences and similarities in the Fur superfamily in rhizobia and other Gram-negative bacteria.

A method for direct cloning of Fur-regulated genes: identification of seven new Fur-regulated loci in Escherichia coli

Article Abstract:

The authors discuss their research on Fur-regulated loci cloning in Escherichia coli. They describe the new approach for cloning these loci which is based on direct vivo selection.
