We were testing the siderophore production for different bacterial isolates using CAS media. I got this blue coloured halo producing isolates (refer to the attachment). This blue halo was not shown by some of the isolates.

I was wondering is this is the siderophore production. when I checked the internet they have showed that they would be orange or red halo around the isolates.

Our opinion is divided as generally siderophores production would be orange or red in colour.

I was wondering if they are not siderophores what could be they.

I am sorry for the picture quality, but I think the information is there.

So please look at it and give me the required suggestion.
