Genome-scale stoichiometric modeling of metabolism has become a standard systems
biology tool for modeling cellular physiology and growth. Extensions of this approach are …

Abstract Middle-to-late Ediacaran (575–541 Ma) marine sedimentary rocks record the first
appearance of macroscopic, multicellular body fossils, yet little is known about the …

Macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and silicon (Si) are essential for the
productivity and distribution of diatoms in the ocean. Responses of diatoms to a particular …

Marine nitrogen-fixing microorganisms are an important source of fixed nitrogen in oceanic
ecosystems. The colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium and diatom symbionts were …

About 20 elements underlie biology and thus constrain biomass production. Recent systems-
level observations indicate that altered supply of one element impacts the processing of …

Marine eukaryotic phytoplankton adapt to low phosphorus (P) in the oceans through a
variety of step‐wise mechanisms including lipid substitution and decreased nucleic acid …

Background There are various ways for nutrients to enter aquatic ecosystems causing
eutrophication. Phosphorus deposition through precipitation can be one pathway, besides …

Microbial life in the oceans impacts the entire marine ecosystem, global biogeochemistry
and climate. The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus, an abundant component of this …

The (maximum) growth rate (µmax) hypothesis predicts that cellular and tissue phosphorus
(P) concentrations should increase with increasing growth rate, and RNA should also …

Determining how microbial communities organize and function at the ecosystem level is
essential to understanding and predicting how they will respond to environmental change …
