Fe and C co-limitation of heterotrophic bacteria in the naturally fertilized region off the Kerguelen Islands
It has been univocally shown that iron (Fe) is the primary limiting nutrient for phytoplankton metabolism in high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) waters, yet the question of how this trace metal affects heterotrophic microbial activity is far less understood. We investigated the role of Fe for bact...
