Carbon Transfer from the Host Diatom Enables Fast Growth and High Rate of N<sub>2</sub> Fixation by Symbiotic Heterocystous Cyanobacteria

Carbon Transfer from the Host Diatom Enables Fast Growth and High Rate of N<sub>2</sub> Fixation by Symbiotic Heterocystous Cyanobacteria

Diatom&#8722;diazotroph associations (DDAs) are symbioses where trichome-forming cyanobacteria support the host diatom with fixed nitrogen through dinitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) fixation. It is inferred that the growth of the trichomes is also supported by the host, but the support mecha...
