Abstract

Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 and 61A152 can utilize the hydroxamate-type siderophores ferrichrome and rhodotorulate, in addition to ferric citrate, to overcome iron starvation. These strains can also utilize the pyoverdin-type siderophore pseudobactin St3. The ability to utilize another organism's siderophores may confer a selective advantage in the rhizosphere.
