Siderophores are organic compounds with low molecular masses that are produced by
microorganisms and plants growing under low iron conditions. The primary function of these …

Siderophores are small organic molecules produced by microorganisms under iron-limiting
conditions which enhance the uptake of iron to the microorganisms. In environment, the …

Siderophores are small molecular weight iron scavengers that are mainly produced by
bacteria, fungi, and plants. Recently, they have attracted increasing attention because of …

Siderophores are small molecular weight extracellular organic compounds secreted by
microorganisms under iron-starved conditions, used by them to chelate and solubilize iron …

Siderophores are secondary metabolites produced by different organisms in order to
scavenge iron from their surrounding environment making this essential element available …

Among the extracellular secondary metabolites, microbial iron-chelating compounds, also
called siderophores, have received considerable attention. The ecological interest in these …

Iron is one of the major limiting factors and essential nutrients of microbial life. Since in
nature it is not readily available in the preferred form, microorganisms produce small high …

Siderophores are synthesized and secreted by many bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and plants for
Fe (III) chelation. A variety of plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) colonize the …

Application of microbes or their products in our life is increasing as research on microbiology
is proceeding. Many scientists are now paying much interest on research and proper …

Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust. In biology, Fe is involved in
several important processes that may be enzymatic (as a cofactor to several enzymes) or …
