GO TERM SUMMARY
|
Name: |
siderophore biosynthetic process |
Acc: |
GO:0019290 |
Aspect: |
Biological Process |
Desc: |
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of siderophores, low molecular weight Fe(III)-chelating substances made by aerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria, especially when growing under iron deficient conditions. The complexes of Fe(3+)-siderophores have very high stability constants and are taken up by specific transport systems by microorganisms; the subsequent release of iron requires enzymatic action. |
