Iron(III) citrate Use and Manufacturing

Modified Nix medium is prepared in haploid species.


Iron(III) Citrate is an integral part of the structural basis of gating by the outer membrane receptor FecA from Escherichia coli. Binding of ferric citrate triggers a conformational change of the extracellular loops that close the external pocket of FecA.
