Dinitrogen fixation in aphotic oxygenated marine environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 We measured N2 fixation rates from oceanic zones that have traditionally been ignored as sources of biological N2 fixation; the aphotic, fully oxygenated, nitrate (NO3-)-rich, waters of the oligotrophic Levantine Basin (LB) and the Gulf of Aqaba (GA). N2

Tropical carbon sink accelerated by symbiotic dinitrogen fixation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The contribution of symbiotic dinitrogen fixation to the forest carbon sink could change throughout forest succession. Here the authors model nitrogen cycling and light competition between trees based on data from Panamanian forest plots, showing that ...

DRIVERS OF THE DYNAMICS OF DIAZOTROPHS AND DENITRIFIERS IN NORTH SEA BOTTOM WATERS AND SEDIMENTS [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The fixation of dinitrogen (N2) and denitrification are two opposite processes in the nitrogen cycle. The former transfers atmospheric dinitrogen gas into bound nitrogen in the biosphere, while the latter returns this bound nitrogen back to atmospheric ...

Contrasting seasonal responses in dinitrogen fixation between shallow and deep-water colonies of the model coral Stylophora pistillata in the northern Red Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Tropical corals are often associated with dinitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs), and seasonal changes in key environmental parameters, such as dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) availability and seawater temperature, are known to affect N2 ...

Theoretical Assessment of Dinitrogen Fixation on Carbon Atom [PDF]
Chemistry - an Asian Journal, 2021 Abstract Dinitrogen activation in non‐metallic systems has received considerable attention in recent years. Herein, we report the theoretical feasibility of N 2 fixation using aminocarbenes ( L ) or their anionic derivatives.

Effects of Water Column Mixing and Stratification on Planktonic Primary Production and Dinitrogen Fixation on a Northern Red Sea Coral Reef [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The northern Red Sea experiences strong annual differences in environmental conditions due to its relative high-latitude location for coral reefs. This allows the study of regulatory effects by key environmental parameters (i.e., temperature, inorganic ...

N2 Fixation in the Eastern Arabian Sea: Probable Role of Heterotrophic Diazotrophs [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Biogeochemical implications of global imbalance between the rates of marine dinitrogen (N2) fixation and denitrification have spurred us to understand the former process in the Arabian Sea, which contributes considerably to the global nitrogen budget ...

Nutrient limitation of primary productivity in the Southeast Pacific (BIOSOPE cruise) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2008 Iron is an essential nutrient involved in a variety of biological processes in the ocean, including photosynthesis, respiration and dinitrogen fixation. Atmospheric deposition of aerosols is recognized as the main source of iron for the surface ocean. In

Genetic algorithm-based re-optimization of the Schrock catalyst for dinitrogen fixation [PDF]
PeerJ Physical Chemistry, 2023 This study leverages a graph-based genetic algorithm (GB-GA) for the design of efficient nitrogen-fixing catalysts as alternatives to the Schrock catalyst, with the aim to improve the energetics of key reaction steps. Despite the abundance of nitrogen in
