Siderophores and siderophore-associated metabolites from Antarctic Pseudomonas sp. ANT_H12B contribute to iron and phosphorus mobilization in soils with contrasting properties
Iron (Fe) oxy(hydr)oxides regulate soil Fe and phosphorus (P) cycling, but how bacterial siderophores and co-produced metabolites mobilize these nutrients across pH remains unclear. We hypothesized that siderophore-mediated Fe complexation and P mobilization depend on pH and mineral crystallinity and that siderophore...
