Evaluation of herbicidal potential of Siderophores produced by Amycolatopsis lurida strain 407.

ABSTRACT: The urgent need for sustainable agriculture has intensified the search for environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical herbicides. This study investigates the herbicidal potential of siderophores produced by Amycolatopsis lurida strain 407, focusing on its effects on the growth of ryegrass and redroot weeds. Strain 407 exhibited two distinct colony morphologies-red and white-when cultured under varying environmental conditions. The cell-free culture filtrate (CFCF) from both colony types significantly inhibited the growth of ryegrass and redroot. The concentration of siderophore produced in the iron-deficient medium was measured to be 613.4 ppm for 407 red and 388.5 ppm for 407 white, which indicates significant iron chelating activity. This study also showed a direct relationship be
