Abstract
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.
Keywords: Rhizosphere bacteria (根际细菌)Background
Siderophores have an extremely strong affinity for ferric iron and are extremely important to bacterial survival. Almost all known bacterial species can produce siderophores (Miethke and Marahiel, 2007), which affect their interaction with microorganisms in close proximity. Siderophores produced by neighboring organisms can act as growth factors that promote the growth of unculturable microorganisms (Kaeberlein et al., 2002), and they also play a significant role in the biological control mechanism against certain phyto-pathogens. Over forty years ago, Kloepper et al. (1980) were the first to illustrate the importance of siderophore production as a mechanism of biological control of Erwinia carotovora by several plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas fluorescens strains such as A1, BK1, TL3B1, and B10. Siderophores play an important role in the composition and function of the rhizosphere microbiome and plant health.
The chrome azurol S (CAS) assay, the most common method for detecting siderophore production (Schwyn and Neilands, 1987), is based on a competition for Fe3+ between the ferric complex of the dye CAS and the siderophore. Increasing the knowledge of siderophore production by rhizosphere bacteria will contribute to a better understanding of the interactions among rhizosphere bacteria. High-throughput detection of siderophore production can be achieved by combining the CAS assay with a 96-channel manual pipetting workstation. In this method, siderophore production was assayed by a modified version of the universal chemical assay developed by Schwyn and Neilands (1987) in 2,150 representative bacterial members, which will help to better understand the abilities of rhizobacteria to produce siderophores.
