Competition and facilitation between the marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Cyanothece and its associated bacterial community

Competition and facilitation between the marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Cyanothece and its associated bacterial community

N2-fixing cyanobacteria represent a major source of new nitrogen and carbon for marine microbial communities, but little is known about their ecological interactions with associated microbiota. In this study we investigated the interactions between the unicellular N2-fixing cyanobacterium Cyanothece...
