N2 Fixation in the Eastern Arabian Sea: Probable Role of Heterotrophic Diazotrophs

Biogeochemical implications of global imbalance between the rates of marine dinitrogen (N2) fixation and denitrification have spurred us to understand the former process in the Arabian Sea, which contributes considerably to the global nitrogen budget. Heterotrophic bacteria have gained recent apprec...
