Zusammenfassung: | Endophytic fungi from orchid plants are reported to secrete secondary metabolites which include bioactive antimicrobial siderophores. In this study endophytic fungi capable of secreting siderophores were isolated from
, a medicinal orchid plant. The isolated extracellular siderophores from orchidaceous fungi act as chelating agents forming soluble complexes with Fe
. The 60% endophytic fungi of
produced hydroxamate siderophore on CAS agar. The highest siderophore percentage was 57% in
(CAL1), 49% in
(CAR12), 46% in
(CAR14) by CAS liquid assay. The optimum culture parameters for siderophore production were 30 °C, pH 6.5, maltose and ammonium nitrate and the highest resulting siderophore content was 73% in
. The total protein content of solvent-purified siderophore increased four-fold compared with crude filtrate. The percent Fe
scavenged was detected by atomic absorption spectra analysis and the highest scavenging value was 83% by
. Thin layer chromatography of purified
siderophore showed a wine-colored spot with R
value of 0.54. HPLC peaks with R
s of 10.5 and 12.5 min were obtained for iron-free and iron-bound
siderophore, respectively. The iron-free
siderophore revealed an exact mass-to-charge ratio (
/
) of 400.46 and iron-bound
siderophore revealed a
/
of 453.35. The solvent-extracted siderophores inhibited the virulent plant pathogens
, that causes bacterial wilt in groundnut and
pv
which causes bacterial blight disease in rice. Thus, bioactive siderophore-producing endophytic
can be exploited in the form of formulations for development of resistance against other phytopathogens in crop plants. |
