Iron is an essential growth factor for procaryotes as well as for eucaryotes. Microorganisms have developed specific iron-uptake systems by producing low-molecular weight iron-chelating compounds (siderophores). We have examined the effect of the siderophores desferrioxamine (DFO), desferrichrome (D
