Fluorescent siderophore pyoverdin (PVD) was produced from a soil isolate Pseudomonas monteilii strain MKP 213. The PVD was purified near to homogeneity and applied for the fluorescent chemosensing of various antibiotics in aqueous solution (pH=7.0).

It has prominent selectivity towards Pb among other metal ions in DMF/HO (9:1, v/v) solvent system. The 1:1 stoichiometric was confirmed by job's plot and has a binding constant (K) = 5.

The compound 1 fluorometrically recognized Cu(2+) ion in CH3OH/H2O (90:10, v/v) by exhibiting an increase in emission upon complexation. In addition, Cu(2+) gave rise to a change in colour of the solution of compound 1, which was clearly visible to the naked eye under UV irradiation.
