Transatlantic abundance of the N2-fixing colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium.
Colonial diazotrophic cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium are thought to play a significant role in the input of new nitrogen to upper layers of the tropical and subtropical oceanic ecosystems that cover nearly half of Earth's surface. Here we describe results of a transatlantic survey in which a noninvasive underwater digital microscope (the video plankton recorder), was towed across the ...
متن کاملModeling the dynamic regulation of nitrogen fixation in the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium sp.
A physiological, unbalanced model is presented that explicitly describes growth of the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium sp. at the expense of N(2) (diazotrophy). The model involves the dynamics of intracellular reserves of carbon and nitrogen and allows the uncoupling of the metabolism of these elements. The results show the transient dynamics of N(2) fixation when combined nitrogen (NO(3)(-...
متن کاملTrichodesmium – a widespread marine cyanobacterium with unusual nitrogen fixation properties
The last several decades have witnessed dramatic advances in unfolding the diversity and commonality of oceanic diazotrophs and their N2 -fixing potential. More recently, substantial progress in diazotrophic cell biology has provided a wealth of information on processes and mechanisms involved. The substantial contribution by the diazotrophic cyanobacterial genus Trichodesmium to the nitrogen i...
متن کاملComment on "The complex effects of ocean acidification on the prominent N2-fixing cyanobacterium Trichodesmium".
Hong et al (Reports, 5 May 2017, p. 527) suggested that previous studies of the biogeochemically significant marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium showing increased growth and nitrogen fixation at projected future high CO2 levels suffered from ammonia or copper toxicity. They reported that these rates instead decrease at high CO2 when contamination is alleviated. We present and discuss results of...
متن کاملCombined effects of CO2 and light on the N2-fixing cyanobacterium Trichodesmium IMS101: physiological responses.
Recent studies on the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum (IMS101) showed that increasing CO(2) partial pressure (pCO(2)) enhances N(2) fixation and growth. Significant uncertainties remain as to the degree of the sensitivity to pCO(2), its modification by other environmental factors, and underlying processes causing these responses. To address these questions, we examined the ...
