Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3 P. mirabilis is unable to utilize yersiniabactin produced by uropathogenic E. coli 536. LB medium was supplemented with 25 μM deferoxamine, the minimum concentration of chelator required to completely suppress growth of P. mirabilis HI4320. Lactose-fermenting E. coli were distinguished from P. mirabilis by using the chromogenic indicator X-gal. (a) Growth of wild-type P. mirabilis, the proteobactin synthesis/ receptor mutant (PbtSR), and the yersiniabactin-related siderophore/receptor mutant (NrpSR) is restored when cross-fed by E. coli 536 that produces both enterobactin and yersiniabactin. (b and c) Restoration of P. mirabilis growth for all strains tested is abolished when cross-fed by either the E. coli 536 enterobactin mutant, entF::kan, or the enterobactin/yersiniabactin double mutant, entF ybtS::kan. (d) P. mirabilis growth is restored using E. coli CFT073, an enterobactin-producing strain incapable of synthesizing yersiniabactin.
