| accumulation of rare earth elements by siderophore-forming arthrobacter luteolus isolated from rare earth environment of chavara, india. | in this study, arthrobacter luteolus, isolated from rare earth environment of chavara (quilon district, kerala, india), were found to produce catechol-type siderophores. the bacterial strain accumulated rare earth elements such as samarium and scandium. the siderophores may play a role in the accumulation of rare earth elements. catecholate siderophore and low-molecular-weight organic acids were found to be present in experiments with arthrobacter luteolus. the influence of siderophore on the ac ... | 2012 | 22357200 |
