Molybdenum Biogeochemistry in an Evolutionary Context: Nitrogen Assimilation, Microbial Storage and Environmental Budgets
abstract: Molybdenum (Mo) is a key trace nutrient for biological assimilation of nitrogen, either as nitrogen gas (N2) or nitrate (NO3-). Although Mo is the most abundant metal in seawater (105 nM), its concentration is low (<5 nM) in most freshwaters today, and it was scarce in the ocean before...
