title: Biosynthesis and uptake of siderophores is controlled by the PacC-mediated ambient-pH Regulatory system in Aspergillus nidulans.
abstract: Biosynthesis and uptake of siderophores in Aspergillus nidulans are regulated not only by iron availability but also by ambient pH: expression of this high-affinity iron uptake system is elevated by an increase in the ambient pH. Mediation of this regulation by the transcriptional regulator PacC has been confirmed via acidity- and alkalinity-mimicking mutants.
