| - | + | The dye-decolorizing peroxidase YfeX is present in ''E. Coli'' bacteria and has been thought to be used as a method to obtain the iron necessary for survival from the heme group of its hosts. Research has been done to find the correlation between the two. Although no hard evidence has been obtained, there is still reason to believe there is a connection between the peroxidase and the means for iron acquisition. | |
