Description

Pseudobactin A is a high-purity siderophore compound, a pyoverdine-type molecule known for its strong iron-chelating properties. This compound is critical for research and development in microbiology, agriculture, and environmental science, where precise iron sequestration and bioavailability are studied. It serves as an essential biochemical tool for scientists and industrial researchers investigating microbial ecology, plant growth promotion, and bioremediation strategies.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Used as a model siderophore to study bacterial iron acquisition mechanisms, microbial competition, and signaling pathways.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Investigated for its role in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to enhance plant iron uptake and improve crop yields under iron-limited conditions.
• Environmental Science: Applied in studies of bioremediation for heavy metal sequestration and in understanding microbial interactions in soil and aquatic ecosystems.
• Pharmaceutical Precursor Research: Serves as a starting material or reference standard in the development of novel antimicrobial agents and diagnostic tools based on iron metabolism.
• Industrial Fermentation & Process Development: Used as a reference compound to optimize fermentation processes for the production of other siderophores or related bioactive metabolites.

Quality Control

Our Pseudobactin A is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC and mass spectrometry, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and ensure long-term stability. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
