The virulence and some related factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus are regulated by the level of iron. In this study, five Mn-resistant mutants were selected after N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine treatment and two transfers in medium containing high levels of manganese chloride. Production of siderophores and the 77-kDa iron-regulated outer-membrane protein and the bacterial growth in these Mn-resistants were deregulated, as compared with the wild-type strain. In addition, the regulation of these phenomena was partially or completely restored by the introduction of Escherichia coli fur gene. Also, the total cellular protein profiles of the wild-type and mutants showed that production of some proteins were positively or negatively regulated by iron, and expression of some of these proteins remained unaffected in these mutants. These results suggested the presence of a complicated iron regulation system, similar to the Fur system of E. coli, in this pathogen.
