Abstract
Regulation of siderophore anguibactin biosynthesis was studied by using a mutant from marine Vibrio anguillarum which harbors a pJM1 plasmid. It was concluded that the siderophore biosynthesis is demarcated by 2,3 DHBA biosynthesis, and all steps before 2,3 DHBA synthesis were mediated by chromosome while the other steps were mediated by plasmid. Expression of genes on chromosome for biosynthesis of 2,3 DHBA was induced by environmental ferric ion.
