Wyckoff, E.E., S.L. Smith, and S. M. Payne. 2001. VibD and VibH Are Required for Late Steps in Vibriobactin Biosynthesis in Vibrio cholerae.  Journal of Bacteriology. 183(5):1830-1834.

Vibrio cholerae synthesizes the catechol siderophore vibriobactin. In this report, we present the complete map of a vibriobactin gene region containing two previously unreported vibriobactin biosynthetic genes. vibD encodes a phosphopantetheinyl transferase, and vibH encodes a novel nonribosomal peptide synthase. Both VibD and VibH are required for vibriobactin biosynthesis.
