Description

Pyoverdin is a fluorescent siderophore, a high-affinity iron-chelating compound, produced by certain Pseudomonas bacteria. This compound is of significant interest for its role in microbial iron acquisition and its potential as a biosensor or in bioremediation applications. It is primarily utilized by researchers in microbiology, environmental science, and biotechnology for studying bacterial metabolism, developing diagnostic tools, and exploring novel chelation therapies.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Used as a model siderophore to study bacterial iron uptake mechanisms, quorum sensing, and pathogenicity in Pseudomonas species and other microbes.
• Environmental Science: Investigated for its role in bioremediation due to its ability to chelate and solubilize various heavy metals, potentially aiding in soil and water purification.
• Diagnostic Development: Serves as a basis for developing fluorescent biosensors for the detection of bioavailable iron in environmental or biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Explored for its antimicrobial properties and its potential as a lead compound for designing new antibiotics or iron-chelating therapeutic agents.
• Agricultural Studies: Research into its function in plant-microbe interactions, including its role in plant growth promotion and biocontrol against phytopathogens.

Quality Control

Our Pyoverdin is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research purposes. Each lot undergoes analytical characterization 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 in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (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 desiccated conditions.
