Journal ArticleDOI

Microbes and metals: interactions in the environment.

TL;DR: Research on the behaviour of microorganisms in geogenic or anthropogenic metallomorphic environments is an integral part of geomicrobiology and can lead to an understanding of biogeochemical cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Siderophores mediate reduced and increased uptake of cadmium by Streptomyces tendae F4 and sunflower (Helianthus annuus), respectively.

TL;DR: The role of siderophores produced by Streptomyces tendae F4 in the uptake of Cd by bacteria and plant was investigated to gain insight into the influence of sidersophores on Cd availability to micro‐organisms and plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of siderophores in the reduction of metal-induced inhibition of auxin synthesis in Streptomyces spp

TL;DR: It is concluded that siderophores promote auxin synthesis in the presence of Al(3+), Cd(2+), Cu(2+) and Ni(2%) by chelating these metals, which increases the plant growth-promoting effects of auxins, which in turn enhances the phytoremediation potential of plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydroxamate siderophores produced by Streptomyces acidiscabies E13 bind nickel and promote growth in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) under nickel stress.

TL;DR: It is concluded that hydroxamate siderophores contained in culture filtrates of S. acidiscabies E13 promoted cowpea growth under nickel contamination by binding iron and nickel, thus playing a dual role of sourcing iron for plant use and protecting against nickel toxicity.
