siderophore-dependent iron import into cell

Term ID

GO:0033214

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. 16963626
