Competition-driven phenotypic plasticity in Iron acquisition and aromatic utilization confers a fitness advantage to Pseudomonas putida in an Iron-limited rhizospheric environment.

Abstract excerpt

Iron scarcity poses a critical challenge for rhizospheric bacteria like Pseudomonas putida in the competitive rhizosphere. Despite its dependence on iron for essential functions such as root colonization, motility, and aromatic compound utilization, P. putida exhibits limited capability for heterologous siderophore utilization and primarily relies on the secretion of a single siderophore, pyoverdine. This study...
