We showed that iron import by a TonB-dependent receptor is important to tolerate copper excess, and this protein requires the activity of its oxygenase partner.

Role of a TonB-dependent receptor and an oxygenase in iron-dependent copper resistance in Caulobacter crescentus | Journal of Bacteriology Copper is an essential metal for many living organisms, as it helps to drive crucial chemical reactions. However, when present in excess, copper turns toxic due to its high reactivity with biological ...

Hi everyone!

I am thrilled to finally share with you the result of my Ph.D. thesis.

In this study, we used genetics and metal quantifications to study the link between iron and copper homeostasis in Caulobacter crescentus.
