Article Synopsis
- Researchers aimed to identify genes in Helicobacter pylori that enable it to utilize haem as an iron source by transforming an Escherichia coli mutant with a cosmid library from H. pylori.
- Four unique cosmids were found that could help the E. coli mutant grow on iron-deficient media with various haem compounds, but no growth differences were observed among them.
- One cosmid showed it could complement another E. coli mutant and also produced proteins that were immunoreactive to H. pylori, with one of these proteins being similar in size to a known iron-repressible protein from H. pylori.
