Siderophores (in Greek: iron carriers) are low molecular weight compounds produced under iron-limiting conditions by microorganisms that chelates Fe3+ (ferric iron) with high specific activity, which in turn make it available to the plant system. Selection of efficient siderophore producing plant associated bacteria and their potential role in enhancing plant iron uptake is a strategic approach for improving plant health as Fe is an integral component and cofactor for many biomolecules. | Nội dung Text Siderophore The iron chelator production potential of bacteria associated with diverse crops and growth medium optimization for its high production
