Diazotrophs and N2-Fixation Associated With Particles in Coastal Estuarine Waters

Diazotrophs and N2-Fixation Associated With Particles in Coastal Estuarine Waters

Putative heterotrophic bacteria carrying out N2-fixation, so-called non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs), are widely distributed in marine waters, but details of how the O2-inhibited N2-fixation process is promoted in the oxic water column remains ambiguous. Here we carried out two experiments with...
