Genetic and physiological studies on the relationship between colicin B resistance and ferrienterochelin uptake in Escherichia coli K-12

The Escherichia coli gene for the ferrienterochelin uptake and colicins B and D receptor protein is located at approximately 13 min, adjacent to or among genes for enterochelin biosynthetic enzymes. The two receptor functions (colicin and siderophore) are separable by mutation.
