Abstract excerpt
The separation and identification of siderophores produced by microorganisms is a time-consuming and an expensive procedure. We have developed a new and efficient method to identify siderophores using well-established Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion mutants. The Deltafet3,arn strains fail to sustain growth, even when specific siderophores are supplied, and mutants are siderophore-specific: Deltafet3,arn2 for...
