Strain sp-f was isolated, a siderophores over producing bacterium, using an improved universal Chrome Azurol S(CAS)-agar plate method from Donghu Lake. The result of the CAS solution siderophores quantitative determination showed the lowest As/Ar (OD680) ratio could be as low as 0.09 with Su (Siderophore Unit) of 90%. Some more experiments were made to make out the pertinence between its growth and siderophores production, indicating that its siderophores quantity reached maximum amount during the prophase of logarithmic growth. After then, siderophores concentration stopped accumulating and turned to be stable at stationary phase. Based on the characteristics of morphology, cultivation, physiology, (G + C) mol % content, 16S rDNA sequence and BIOLOG Station system analysis, it was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens sp-f strain. RP-HPLC analysis showed there exist at least 3 kinds of catecholate siderophores, including fluorescent and non-fluorescent pyoverdins. But only fluorescent pyoverdin's excretion was completely repressed by the 200 micromol/L Fe2+ in the medium. And the non-pyoverdin siderophores excretion was induced at the same time, contrarily.

To obtain an effective bacterial biocontrol strain against the fungal pathogen , causing rubber tree red root rot disease, healthy rubber tree tissue from Baisha County, Hainan Province, was selected as the isolation source, and bacterial strains with strong antifungal effects against . were screened. The strain was identified by molecular biology, in vitro root segment tests, pot growth promotion tests, and genome detection.

The global rise in population has led to an increased demand for food production, necessitating the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Traditional methods often rely on synthetic chemicals that negatively impact both human health and the environment. This study aimed to screen soil fungal strains for plant-growth-promoting traits, specifically focusing on their ability to solubilize phosphates, produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and synthesize siderophores.

In recent years, novel antimicrobials have been developed to counter the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and provide effective therapeutic options against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB). Cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin, represents a novel valuable antimicrobial drug for the treatment of infections caused by MDR-GNB. The mechanism of cefiderocol to penetrate through the outer membrane of bacterial cells, termed "", makes this antimicrobial drug unique and immune to the various resistance strategies adopted by GNB.

Chronic wounds in diabetic patients experience significant clinical challenges due to compromised healing processes. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) is a critical regulator in the cellular response to hypoxia, enhancing angiogenesis and tissue restoration. Nevertheless, the cellular response to the developed chronic hypoxia within diabetes is impaired, likely due to the destabilization of HIF-1α via degradation by prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes.

The coexistence of microplastics and heavy metals in soil can lead to more intricate environmental effects. While plant growth-promoting bacteria have been widely recognized for enhancing the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils, little research has been conducted to investigate whether they can alleviate the stress of microplastic-heavy metal composite contamination on plants. We investigated the effects of isolated and screened plant growth-promoting bacteria on the growth and cadmium (Cd) accumulation of under the composite pollution of Cd and polypropylene (PP) with different particle sizes (6.
