Uses
Dimerum acid is a dihydroxamate-type siderophore found in Penicillium chrysogenum. It serves as a precursor or degradation product of coprogen and effectively enhances iron uptake in strategy I plants (e.g., cucumber) and strategy II plants (e.g., maize). Under pH 6.0 conditions, Dimerum acid facilitates the release of bioavailable Fe3+ through ligand exchange with plant-secreted phytosiderophores (PS) or EDTA, thereby improving plant iron supply efficiency. Dimerum acid can be used for research in the fields of plant iron nutrition and agriculture[1].
