[The role of iron-uptake factor PiuB in pathogenicity of soybean pathogen pv. ].

Iron is an essential element for living organisms that plays critical roles in the process of bacterial growth and metabolism. However, it remains to be elucidated whether encoding iron-uptake factor is involved in iron uptake and pathogenicity of pv. ().

Phosphoglycerate Kinase Is Involved in Carbohydrate Utilization, Extracellular Polysaccharide Biosynthesis, and Cell Motility of pv. Independent of Clp.

Phosphoglycerate kinase (Pgk), catalyzing the reversible conversions between glycerate-1.3-2P and glycerate-3P, plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Here, we show that a Pgk-deficient mutant (NΔ) of pv.
