Description

Pseudobactin CAS NO 76975-04-7 is a high-purity siderophore compound, a pyoverdine-type molecule produced by specific Pseudomonas bacteria. It is valued for its exceptional iron-chelating properties, which are critical in biological and environmental systems. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of agricultural biotechnology, environmental remediation, and advanced pharmaceutical research, where precise control of iron bioavailability is required.

Application

• Agricultural Biostimulants: Used as a key component in formulations to enhance plant growth by improving iron uptake, particularly in alkaline or calcareous soils.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in studies targeting iron metabolism, microbial pathogenesis, and novel chelation therapies.
• Environmental Biotechnology: Employed in bioremediation processes to sequester and mobilize heavy metals or to promote the growth of beneficial microbes for soil and water treatment.
• Microbiological Media: Acts as a defined iron source or chelator in specialized culture media for the growth of fastidious microorganisms.
• Cosmeceutical Development: Investigated for potential use in topical formulations aimed at modulating skin microbiome and providing antioxidant benefits through iron chelation.
• Industrial Enzyme Production: Utilized to optimize fermentation conditions for the production of bacterial enzymes by precisely controlling iron availability.

Quality Control

Our Pseudobactin is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, supporting research and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
