GO:0046215 | Definition | The breakdown into simpler components of siderochromes, 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+)-siderochromes have very high stability constants and are taken up by specific transport systems by microorganisms; the subsequent release of iron requires enzymatic action. | |
