Term Name:	siderophore biosynthetic process		Search Ontology:
Synonyms:	siderochrome biosynthesis siderochrome biosynthetic process siderophore anabolism siderophore biosynthesis siderophore biosynthetic process, peptide formation siderophore biosynthetic process, peptide modification siderophore formation siderophore synthesis
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of siderophores, 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+)-siderophores have very high stability constants and are taken up by specific transport systems by microorganisms; the subsequent release of iron requires enzymatic action. 20376388
