Abstract Certain plant growth-promoting pseudomonads inhibit deleterious and pathogenic rhizosphere bacteria and fungi by producing siderophores. Properties of a siderophore transport system which might provide a competitive advantage under iron stress conditions include ability to utilize other organisms' siderophores, higher Fe(III) stability constant, faster kinetics of dissolution of Fe(III) minerals, more efficient transport system, and resistance to degradation. In order to determine the concentration and localization of siderophores in the rhizosphere monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to ferric pseudobactin, the siderophore of Pseudomonas putida B10, have been developed. Several Mabs cross reacted differently with various pseudobactins. A growth medium has been developed for the study for siderophore-mediated rhizosphere interactions in the laboratory.
