The Role of Iron in the P-Acquisition Mechanisms of the Unicellular N2-Fixing Cyanobacteria Halothece sp., Found in Association With the Mediterranean Seagrass Posidonia oceanica

Posidonia oceanica, an endemic seagrass of the Mediterranean Sea harbors a high diversity of N2-fixing prokaryotes. One of these is Halothece sp., a unicellular N2-fixing cyanobacteria detected through nifH analysis from the epiphytes of P. oceanica. The most related strain in culture is Halothece s...
