[HTML][HTML] Global oceanic diazotroph database version 2 and elevated estimate of global oceanic N fixation

Z Shao, Y Xu, H Wang, W Luo, L Wang… - Earth System …, 2023 - essd.copernicus.org
Marine diazotrophs convert dinitrogen (N 2) gas into bioavailable nitrogen (N), supporting

[HTML][HTML] Metabolic trade-offs constrain the cell size ratio in a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis

FM Cornejo-Castillo, K Inomura, JP Zehr, MJ Follows - Cell, 2024 - cell.com
Biological dinitrogen (N 2) fixation is a key metabolic process exclusively performed by
prokaryotes, some of which are symbiotic with eukaryotes. Species of the marine haptophyte …

Negative responses of terrestrial nitrogen fixation to nitrogen addition weaken across increased soil organic carbon levels

M Zheng, M Xu, D Li, Q Deng, J Mo - Science of The Total Environment, 2023 - Elsevier
The traditional view holds that biological nitrogen (N) fixation is energetically expensive and
thus, facultative N fixers reduce N fixation rates while obligate N fixers are excluded by non …

Coral-associated nitrogen fixation rates and diazotrophic diversity on a nutrient-replete equatorial reef

MA Moynihan, NF Goodkin, KM Morgan… - The ISME …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The role of diazotrophs in coral physiology and reef biogeochemistry remains poorly
