Description

Azotochelin is a high-purity, low-molecular-weight siderophore compound, specifically a catecholate-type iron chelator. This compound is of significant interest for its high-affinity binding to ferric iron (Fe³⁺), making it a critical tool in microbial iron metabolism and metal ion transport studies. It serves as an essential research chemical and biochemical reagent for scientists and manufacturers in the life sciences and industrial biotechnology sectors.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Used as a model siderophore to study bacterial iron acquisition mechanisms, microbial ecology, and plant-microbe interactions.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in laboratory research to investigate iron chelation, transport, and homeostasis in biological systems.
• Agricultural Research: Investigated for its potential role in enhancing plant iron uptake and as a component in biofertilizer formulations to improve crop nutrition.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a starting material or reference standard in the research of novel antimicrobial agents and iron-chelating therapies.
• Industrial Biotechnology: Applied in fermentation process development and in the study of microbial production of high-value metabolites.
• Environmental Science: Used to study bioremediation processes and the role of siderophores in metal mobility and bioavailability in soils and water.
