Plasmid- and Chromosome-Encoded Redundant and Specific Functions Are Involved in Biosynthesis of the Siderophore Anguibactin in Vibrio anguillarum 775: a Case of Chance and Necessity?

Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon

Received 16 November 2004/ Accepted 1 December 2004

We report the identification of a novel chromosome cluster of genes in Vibrio anguillarum 775 that includes redundant functional homologues of the pJM1 plasmid-harbored genes angE and angC that are involved in anguibactin biosynthesis. We also identified in this cluster a chromosomal angA gene that is essential in anguibactin biosynthesis.
