Reissbrodt R, Heier H, Tschäpe H, Kingsley RA, Williams PH (2000): Resuscitation by Ferrioxamine E of Stressed Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium from Soil and Water Microcosms
Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 66/9: 4128-4130.

Storage of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains in soil and water microcosms resulted in loss of culturability on standard plating media. Prior incubation in buffered peptone water supplemented with ferrioxamine E markedly extended the time that bacteria were recoverable by plating, except in the case of mutants deficient in ferrioxamine E uptake.
