Siderophores are low-molecular-weight organic compounds (500 - 1500 Da) produced by heterotrophic bacteria and highly selective for Fe(III). These complexation of iron by siderophores has the potential to affect both the solubility and bioavailability of iron (III) in seawater. We have determined th...
