siderophility Explanation: IMO -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2014-12-18 11:43:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- iron-loving called highly siderophile elements (HSE) because of their strong siderophility as reflected in the very high metal/silicate partition coefficients. http://www.minersoc.org/pages/Archive-MM/Volume_62A/62a-2-11... cccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Siderophile means "iron-loving". This can refer to: Siderophilic bacteria, bacteria that require or are facilitated by free iron Siderophile elements, chemical elements such as iridium or gold that tend to bond with metallic iron, as described by the Goldschmidt classification Siderophilia, another name for haemochromatosis, a disease in which the body accumulates too much iron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siderophile -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2014-12-18 11:45:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The sequence of decreasing siderophility. http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/1994001... ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Siderophilic bacteria are bacteria that require or are facilitated by free iron. They may include Vibrio vulnificus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolica, Salmonella enterica (serotype Typhimurium), Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. One possible symptom of haemochromatosis is susceptibility to infections from these species. Certain non-bacterial microorganisms such as Rhizopus arrhizus and Mucor may also be siderophilic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siderophilic_bacteria |
