Phaeocystis is a genus of marine phytoplankton with a world-wide distribution. It has a
polymorphic life cycle alternating free-living cells and colonies but develops massive blooms …

Metagenomic analyses have revealed widespread and diverse retinal-binding rhodopsin
proteins (named proteorhodopsins) among numerous marine bacteria and archaea, which …

Iron is the quantitatively most important trace metal involved in thylakoid reactions of all
oxygenic organisms since linear (= non-cyclic) electron flow from H 2 O to NADP+ involves …

There is approximately 50 times more inorganic carbon in the global ocean than in the
atmosphere. On time scales of decades to millions of years, the interaction between these …

Benthic iron fluxes from sites along the Oregon–California continental shelf determined
using in situ benthic chambers, range from less than 10μmolm− 2d− 1 to values in excess …

The potential importance of the viral lysis of phytoplankton for nutrient and carbon cycling
has been acknowledged, but no quantitative assessments of this phenomenon exist …

Most aerobic bacteria secrete siderophores to facilitate iron acquisition. Two families of
siderophores were isolated from strains belonging to two different genera of marine bacteria …

Although Fe limitation is well documented in open ocean high‐nutrient, low‐chlorophyll
(HNLC) areas, little is known about the potential for Fe limitation in coastal environments …

Siderophores are chelates produced by bacteria as part of a highly specific iron uptake
mechanism. They are thought to be important in the bacterial acquisition of iron in seawater …

Experiments were conducted along a coastal-oceanic transect in the NE subarctic Pacific to
examine acquisition of organically complexed Fe by autotrophic and heterotrophic plankton …
