Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Nitrogen (N) is a key element for life in the oceans. It controls primary productivity in many
parts of the global ocean, consequently playing a crucial role in the uptake of atmospheric …

Marine diazotrophs convert dinitrogen (N 2) gas into bioavailable nitrogen (N), supporting
life in the global ocean. In 2012, the first version of the global oceanic diazotroph database …

Abstract Microbial dinitrogen (N 2) fixation, the nitrogenase enzyme-catalysed reduction of N
2 gas into biologically available ammonia, is the main source of new nitrogen (N) in the …

Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation is an important source of nitrogen (N) in low-latitude open
oceans. The unusual N2-fixing unicellular cyanobacteria (UCYN-A)/haptophyte symbiosis …

Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation supplies nitrogen to the oceans, supporting primary
productivity, and is carried out by some bacteria and archaea referred to as diazotrophs …

The nitrogen input through biological N 2 fixation is essential for life in vast areas of the
global ocean. The belief is that cyanobacteria are the only relevant N 2-fixing (diazotrophic) …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the primary nutrients required to build biomass and is therefore in high
demand in aquatic ecosystems. Estuaries, however, are frequently inundated with high …

Marine N2 fixation supports a significant portion of oceanic primary production by making N2
bioavailable to planktonic communities, in the process influencing atmosphere-ocean …

Nitrogen fixation is the primary source of reactive nitrogen in the ocean. Most ecological
models do not predict nitrogen fixation in the Antarctic Ocean because of the low availability …
