In response to low iron availability in the environment most microorganisms synthesize iron chelators,
called siderophores. Bacteria and fungi produce a broad range of structurally diverse siderophores, all
of which show a very high affinity for ferric ions.
This book presents an up-to-date overview of the chemistry, biology and biotechnology of these iron chelators.
Following an introduction to the structure, functions and regulation of fungal siderophores, several
chapters focus on siderophores of pseudomonads. Here the technique of siderotyping, which has proved
to be a rapid, accurate and inexpensive tool for pseudomonad characterization and identification, is described.
Further, the biological significance of siderophores of symbiotic fungi and the possible role of siderophores
in pathogenesis are discussed. In addition to methodological approaches, the book includes chapters on the
biotechnological production of siderophores and their application in promoting human and plant health.
Of interest to microbiologists, biochemists, biotechnologists, plant scientists, phytopathologists
