Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This database is limited spatially, lacking large regions of the ocean especially in the Indian Ocean, but can nevertheless be used to study spatial and temporal distributions and variations of marine N2 fixation, to validate geochemical estimates and to parameterize and validate biogeochemical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of the unicellular nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria UCYN-A and its prymnesiophyte host.
Anne W. Thompson,Brandon J. Carter,Kendra A. Turk-Kubo,Francesca Malfatti,Farooq Azam,Jonathan P. Zehr +5 more
TL;DR: The relevance of UCYN-A's genetic diversity to its symbiosis and ecology was explored through combining flow cytometric cell sorting and molecular techniques to determine the host identity, nifH expression patterns and host cell size of one newly discovered clade, UCyn-A2, at a coastal site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinated regulation of growth, activity and transcription in natural populations of the unicellular nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera
Samuel T. Wilson,Frank O. Aylward,Frank O. Aylward,Francois Ribalet,Benedetto Barone,John Casey,Paige E. Connell,John M. Eppley,Sara Ferrón,Jessica N. Fitzsimmons,Christopher T. Hayes,Anna E. Romano,Kendra A. Turk-Kubo,Alice Vislova,E. Virginia Armbrust,David A. Caron,Matthew J. Church,Matthew J. Church,Jonathan P. Zehr,David M. Karl,Edward F. DeLong +20 more
TL;DR: A cross-scale synthesis of molecular, population and community-wide data underscores the tightly coordinated in situ metabolism of the keystone N2-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera, as well as the broader ecosystem-wide implications of its activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbiotic unicellular cyanobacteria fix nitrogen in the Arctic Ocean.
Katie Harding,Kendra A. Turk-Kubo,Rachel E. Sipler,Matthew M. Mills,Deborah A. Bronk,Jonathan P. Zehr +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the UCYN-A symbiosis is present and fixing N2 in the Western Arctic and Bering Seas, further north than any previously reported N2-fixing marine cyanobacteria, and results show definitively that cyanobacterial N2 fixation is not constrained to subtropical waters, challenging paradigms and models of global N1 fixation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aphotic N2 fixation in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific Ocean.
Sophie Bonnet,Julien Dekaezemacker,Kendra A. Turk-Kubo,Thierry Moutin,Robert M. Hamersley,Olivier Grosso,Jonathan P. Zehr,Douglas G. Capone +7 more
TL;DR: Organic and inorganic nutrient addition bioassays revealed that amino acids significantly stimulated N2 fixation in the core of the OMZ at all stations tested and as did simple carbohydrates at stations located nearest the coast of Peru/Chile.
