Abstract
Under iron-limiting conditions, most prokaryotes, certain fungi and some monocotyledonous plants are known to produce low molecular weight (often <1000 Da), high-affinity chelating agents that solubilize, by sequestering ferric ion from the environment and transporting it into the cells through specific receptors. These molecules are known as siderophores and are typically found in iron-deficient cultures.
