Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated CO2enhances nitrogen fixation and growth in the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium
Orly Levitan,G. Rosenberg,Ivan Šetlík,Eva Šetlíková,J. Grigel,J. Klepetar,Ondřej Prášil,Ilana Berman-Frank +7 more
TL;DR: In oceanic regions, where light and nutrients such as P and Fe are not limiting, it is expected the projected concentrations of CO₂ to increase N fixation and growth of Trichodesmium, thereby enhancing inputs of new N and increasing primary productivity in the oceans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of ocean acidification on the structure of future phytoplankton communities
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,J. Jeffrey Morris,J. Jeffrey Morris,Michael J. Follows,Jeffery R. Scott,Orly Levitan,Sonya T. Dyhrman,Ilana Berman-Frank +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of phytoplankton growth rates to ocean acidification were investigated in a meta-analysis and a marine ecosystem model calibrated with the results indicated that these different responses will result in changes in community structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remodeling of intermediate metabolism in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum under nitrogen stress
Orly Levitan,Jorge Dinamarca,Ehud Zelzion,Desmond S. Lun,Desmond S. Lun,L. Tiago Guerra,Min Kyung Kim,Joomi Kim,Benjamin A. S. Van Mooy,Debashish Bhattacharya,Paul G. Falkowski +10 more
TL;DR: The results show that diatoms can remodel their intermediate metabolism on environmental cues and reveal that a key signal in this remodeling is associated with nitrogen assimilation, which informs a strategy of developing a much more efficient pathway to produce algal-based biofuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diatoms: a fossil fuel of the future
TL;DR: It is calculated that the yields obtained by using diatoms as a production platform are theoretically sufficient to satisfy the total oil consumption of the US, using between 3 and 5% of its land area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling between autocatalytic cell death and transparent exopolymeric particle production in the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium.
TL;DR: A functional linkage between activation of caspases and PCD in Trichodesmium and regulation of vertical carbon and nitrogen fluxes is suggested to regulate the fate of phytoplankton blooms and particulate organic matter in aquatic ecosystems.
