Unraveling Siderophore Producing Bacteria from Plant Rhizosphere | Chapter 2 | Current Research Trends in Biological Science Vol. 1
Siderophores
are those low molecular weight iron chelating components that are found to be
secreted by a few bacteria located predominantly in the rhizosphere of
leguminous plants. Their mechanism of action depends on the structure in which
the siderophore is available. In the current study, an isolate SA6 was studied
for its siderophore production which was found to be of carboxylate type. The
optimal growth conditions for elevated siderophore production by SA6 were
deliberated. The isolate was found to be enriched with plant growth promoting
activities indicating its possible application in agriculture. Sequencing of the
isolate has a 97% similarity index with Escherichia fergusonii.
