Term Name:	siderophore-dependent iron import into cell
Synonyms:	iron assimilation by capture and transport, iron assimilation by chelation and transport, iron chelate transport
Definition:	A process in which iron (Fe3+) is solubilized by ferric iron-specific chelators, known as siderophores, excreted by a cell; the iron-siderophore complex is then transported into the cell by specific cell surface receptors.
