The general properties of siderophores have been described extensively (2), and up-to-date lists of the individual compounds, their sources from aerobic and facultative aerobic species, and their properties have been published (3,4, 5). (Porphyrin Products, P. O. Box 31, Logan, UT 84321, sell a limited number of siderophores.) The earlier literature on iron assimilation by microbes, including enteric species, may be found elsewhere (6,7). For information on the chemical constitution and physiological role of the outer membrane of enteric bacteria, the reader is referred to Nakae and Nikaido (8).
