The ocean is home to a diverse and metabolically versatile microbial community that
performs the complex biochemical transformations that drive the nitrogen cycle, including …

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

Symbiotic interactions were key to the evolution of chloroplast and mitochondria organelles,
which mediate carbon and energy metabolism in eukaryotes. Biological nitrogen fixation, the …

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 …

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 …

The comprehensive effect of exogenous pollutants on the dispersal and abundance of
antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in the phycosphere, bacterial community and algae …

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 …

Sinking particles transport carbon and nutrients from the surface ocean into the deep sea
and are considered hot spots for bacterial diversity and activity. In the oligotrophic oceans …

Dinitrogen (N2) fixation is an important source of biologically reactive nitrogen (N) to the
global ocean. The magnitude of this flux, however, remains uncertain, in part because N2 …

Large-scale metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data analyses are often restricted by their
gene-centric approach, limiting the ability to understand organismal and community biology …
