Description

Vibrioferrin CAS NO 157568-17-7 is a specialized siderophore compound, a high-affinity iron chelator produced by certain marine bacteria. This compound is critical for research and development in microbiology and environmental science, where precise iron sequestration and bioavailability studies are paramount. It serves as an essential tool for scientists and industrial researchers investigating bacterial iron acquisition mechanisms, marine microbial ecology, and the development of novel antimicrobial strategies.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Fundamental studies on bacterial iron uptake systems, siderophore-mediated competition, and virulence factor expression in Vibrio species and other pathogens.
• Marine Ecology Studies: Investigation of iron limitation in ocean environments and the role of siderophores in phytoplankton-bacteria interactions and nutrient cycling.
• Antimicrobial Development: Serves as a reference compound or starting point for designing novel "Trojan horse" antibiotics that exploit bacterial iron transport pathways.
• Biochemical Assays: Used as a standard or reagent in assays measuring siderophore production, iron-binding capacity, and chelation kinetics.
• Agricultural Research: Exploration of siderophore applications in plant growth promotion and biocontrol against phytopathogens.
• Reference Standard: Acts a high-purity analytical standard for method development and quality control in related chemical and pharmaceutical analysis.
