Marine picocyanobacteria of the Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus genera have been
longtime considered as autotrophic organisms. However, compelling evidence published …

Cyanobacteria evolved the oxygenic photosynthesis to generate organic matter from CO 2
and sunlight, and they were responsible for the production of oxygen in the Earth's …

Nitrogen (N) is a limiting nutrient in vast regions of the world's oceans, yet the sources of N
available to various phytoplankton groups remain poorly understood. In this study, we …

Cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies are common mesoscale features in the flow past the
Canary Islands throughout the year. While drifting southward, eddy pairs interact among …

In stratified oligotrophic waters, phytoplankton communities forming the deep chlorophyll
maximum (DCM) are isolated from atmospheric iron sources above and remineralized iron …

In nitrogen-limited boreal forests, associations between feathermoss and diazotrophic
cyanobacteria control nitrogen inputs and thus carbon cycling, but little is known about the …

Cyanobacteria have been studied in recent decades to investigate the principle
mechanisms of plant-type oxygenic photosynthesis, as they are the inventors of this process …

Microbial growth in many environments is limited by nitrogen availability, yet there is limited
understanding of how complex communities compete for and allocate this resource. Here …

Phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria rely on a suite of inorganic and organic
macronutrients to satisfy their cellular needs. Here, we explored the effect of dissolved …

Denitrification is the most important process for nitrogen removal in eutrophic lakes and was
mostly investigated in lake sediment. Denitrification could also be mediated by …
