BACKGROUND Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation, the reduction of atmospheric N2 to
ammonia, is important for maintaining the fertility of the oceans by providing biologically …

Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support
diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic …

Evidence is accumulating to challenge the paradigm that biogenic methanogenesis,
considered a strictly anaerobic process, is exclusive to archaea. We demonstrate that …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for marine phytoplankton and indeed all life forms.
Current data show that P availability is growth‐limiting in certain marine systems and can …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the oceans is one of the largest pools of reduced carbon
on Earth, comparable in size to the atmospheric CO2 reservoir. A vast number of …

Phosphorus (P) is a required element for life. Its various chemical forms are found
throughout the lithosphere and hydrosphere, where they are acted on by numerous abiotic …

Phosphorus (P) is a critical driver of phytoplankton growth and ecosystem function in the
ocean. Diatoms are an abundant class of marine phytoplankton that are responsible for …

Cyanobacteria are often the key organisms comprising microbial mats. They form dense
micrometer-scale communities in which the full plethora of microbial metabolism can be …

Organophosphonates are ancient molecules that contain the chemically stable C–P bond,
which is considered a relic of the reducing atmosphere on primitive earth. Synthetic …

The current study reports the community succession of different toxin and non-toxin
producing cyanobacteria at different stages of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms …
