TL;DR

The nutritional requirements for the production of pyoverdine were studied using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in a chemically defined medium, with shaking and the optimum carbon-to-nitrogen ratio was found to be 4:1.

Abstract

The nutritional requirements for the production of pyoverdine were studied using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in a chemically defined medium, with shaking. Succinic acid and ammonium sulphate were found to be the best sources of carbon and nitrogen for pyoverdine production. The optimum carbon-to-nitrogen ratio was found to be 4:1. Elevated concentrations of phosphate inhibited pyoverdine production.

Pseudomonas fluorescens produced only one molecular species of fluorescent pigment; however, its lability under mild alkaline conditions led to the formation of several pigmented decomposition products, suggesting that the fluorescent pigment is a desferrisiderophore.

Observations from this laboratory on the control of cytochrome c production in Pseudomonas fluorescens2–4 are in general accord with Burton's hypothesis, and suggest that fluorescin is an alternative product of porphyrin metabolism.
