The prosthetic group heme is abundant in host's hemoproteins and explored as an iron source by many bacterial pathogens. However, heme is highly reactive, may cause damage and must be maintained in homeostasis to avoid its toxicity. In this work we intend to identify the high heme resistance mechanisms of Chromobacterium violaceum, a Gram-negative bacterium that causes severe opportunisti…
Iron is an important metal in several cellular processes and it is found in high amounts in the heme group of hemoproteins, like hemoglobin. To exploit this abundant source of iron in the host many pathogens have heme uptake and degradation mechanisms. In this work we aim to identify these mechanisms in the bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, a Gram-negative beta-proteobacterium found in…
