Abstract
When a pyoverdin (PV), (a siderophore) from Pseudomonas fluorescens, binds aluminum 1:1, its natural fluorescence almost doubles, whereas PV-Fe is non-fluorescent. Complex formation allows [Al] determination down to 1 mug/l. Fe(III) in the sample interferes with [Al] determination, but added after PV, improves the assay's performance. Ascorbic acid does not eliminate Fe(III) interference. PV-Al fluorescence could have analytical and toxicological applications.Entities:
