Abstract

Azotobacter vinelandii stimulated the growth of Agrobacterium tumefaciens H2, H23, H24, H27, and ATCC 15955 on media containing insoluble iron sources. The Azotobacter vineleandii siderophores appeared to promote Agrobacterium tumefaciens growth by solublizing mineral iron, and the ferrisiderophores so formed then acted as iron sources for Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobactin, the Agrobacterium siderophore, appeared to be inefficient in solubilizing mineral iron directly.
