Abstract

Environmental pollution as a result of heavy metals (HMs) is a worldwide problem and the implementation of eco-friendly remediation technologies is thus required. Metallophores, low molecular weight compounds, could have important biotechnological applications in the fields of agriculture, medicine, and bioremediation. This study aimed to isolate HM-resistant bacteria from soils and sediments of the Lerma–Chapala Basin and evaluated their abilities to produce metallophores and to promote plant growth. Bacteria from the Lerma–Chapala Basin produced metallophores for all the tested metal ions, presented a greater production of As3+ metallophores, and showed high HM resistance especially to Zn2+, As5+, and Ni2+. A total of 320 bacteria were isolated with 170 strains showing siderophores synthesis. Members of the Delftia and Pseudomonas genera showed above 92 percent siderophore units (psu) during siderophores production and hydroxamate proved to be the most common functional group among the analyzed siderophores. Our results provided evidence that Lerma–Chapala Basin bacteria and their metallophores could potentially be employed in bioremediation processes or may even have potential for applications in other biotechnological fields.
