The influence of iron availability on nitrogen assimilation in the marine diatom thalassiosira weissflogii

Since the recognition of iron-limited, high nitrate, low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions of the ocean, iron limitation has been hypothesized to limit the assimilation of nitrate by diatoms. To determine the influence of iron availability on nitrogen assimilatory enzymes, in vitro enzyme assays were de...
