Comparison of five bacterial strains producing siderophores with ability to chelate iron under alkaline conditions

Abstract Iron deficiency is one of the main causes of chlorosis in plants, which leads to losses in field crops quality and yield. The use of synthetic chelates to prevent or correct iron-deficiency is not satisfactory mainly due to their poor biodegradability. The present work aimed to search suita...
