Putative siderophore biosynthesis and iron transport gene clusters of P. salmonis and Fur binding-site prediction. a Siderophore biosynthetic genes are indicated by black arrows. The congate siderophore/heme outer membrane receptor/exporter genes are depicted in white and the component of TonB-dependent active transport across the bacterial outer membrane system is in grey. Green arrows denote components involved in the ferrous uptake system and blue arrows indicate ferric hydroxamate/heme uptake genes. A single homolog of the ferric uptake regulator (fur) was predicted in P. salmonis genome. The blue box represents Fur-binding sites. b Sequence logo for predicted Fur-binding sites in P. salmonis
