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

Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes to have evolved oxygenic photosynthesis,
transforming the biology and chemistry of our planet. Genomic and evolutionary studies …

By controlling nutrient cycling and biomass production at the base of the food web,
interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria represent a fundamental ecological …

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 …

Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Photosynthetic microalgae can capture solar energy and convert it to bioenergy and
biochemical products. In nature or industrial processes, microalgae live together with …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

A greater insight on the control of the interactions between microalgae and other
microorganisms, particularly bacteria, should be useful for enhancing the efficiency of …

Phytoplankton communities within the photic zones of the oceans and lakes are
characterised by highly complex assemblages of unicellular microalgae and associated …

The early evolutionary history of the chloroplast lineage remains an open question. It is
widely accepted that the endosymbiosis that established the chloroplast lineage in …
