Siderophores, a key substance that microorganisms produce to obtain iron under iron-limited conditions, play an important role in regulating interactions between beneficial bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. A large number of bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere, and we used the method presented here to assay the siderophore production by these rhizosphere bacteria. This method is a modified version of the universal chrome azurol S (CAS) assay that uses a 96-channel manual pipetting workstation. By combining the liquid CAS assay with the multi-channel pipette workstation, high-throughput and rapid detection of siderophore production can be achieved. In summary, this method can be used to gain a general understanding of siderophore production by rhizosphere bacteria.
铁载体是微生物在铁限制条件下产生以获取铁的关键物质,在调节有益细菌和致病细菌之间的相互作用中发挥重要作用。从根际分离出大量细菌,我们使用此处介绍的方法来测定这些根际细菌产生铁载体的情况。该方法是通用铬天青S(CAS)测定法的改进版本,使用96通道手动移液工作站。通过将液体CAS测定法与多通道移液器工作站相结合,可以实现铁载体产生的高通量和快速检测。总之,该方法可用于全面了解根际细菌产生铁载体的情况。
