Microbial Competition in the Subpolar Southern Ocean: An Fe–C Co-limitation Experiment

Microbial Competition in the Subpolar Southern Ocean: An Fe–C Co-limitation Experiment

Iron (Fe) is a paradox in the modern ocean – it is central to many life-critical enzymes but is scarce across most surface waters. The high cellular demand and low bioavailability of Fe likely puts selective pressure on marine microorganisms. Previous observations suggest that heterotrophic bacteria...
