Abstract: | Rhizobium leguminosarum IARI 102 produced a phenolate type siderophore (a derivative of 2,3-DHBA) under iron-limited conditions. Addition of Fe3+ to the culture medium increased the growth yield significantly, but repressed the production of the iron-chelating compound. Iron level of culture medium also had a significant role in the composition of outer membrane proteins ofR. leguminosarum IARI 102. Maximum iron uptake was observed only in the presence of its own siderophore. |
