The Chaetocerosphere: Chaetoceros Species and Associated Prokaryotes in a Coastal Area
Chaetoceros species maintain recurrent distinct prokaryotic assemblages in their phycosphere. Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Archaea Thermoplasmata and Marine Group II are the most represented in the phycosphere. Bipartite networks highlight strong links between the diatom and specific prokaryotic taxa, especially the chain‐forming species ...

UCYN‐A3, a newly characterized open ocean sublineage of the symbiotic N 2 ‐fixing cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa [PDF]
Summary The symbiotic unicellular cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN‐A) is one of the most abundant and widespread nitrogen (N 2 )‐fixing cyanobacteria in the ocean.

Programmed cell death in diazotrophs and the fate of organic matter in the western tropical South Pacific Ocean during the OUTPACE cruise [PDF]
The fate of diazotroph (N2 fixers) derived carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and their contribution to vertical export of C and N in the western tropical South Pacific Ocean was studied during OUTPACE (Oligotrophy to UlTra-oligotrophy PACific Experiment ...

Transient Ecological Niches for Diazotrophs in Upwelling Bays
Abstract Diazotrophs, microorganisms capable of fertilizing the ocean through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), are widespread in the oceans, including upwelling bays. However, their ability to respond to short‐lived upwelling pulses, lasting only a few days, remains poorly understood. To investigate diazotrophy across temporal scales, we analyzed 18

Diazotroph‐Driven 210Po Scavenging Reveals a Potential Radiotracer for Marine Nitrogen Fixation
Abstract The role of phytoplankton, particularly diazotrophs, in affecting in situ 210Po scavenging has been little investigated. Here, we first report an enhanced 210Po deficit in a cyclonic eddy core relative to its edge in the subtropical Pacific, coinciding with an elevated integrated nitrogen fixation rate (NFR).

Abstract The subtropical North Atlantic is a key region for ocean carbon cycling despite its relatively small spatial extent. Here we present a high‐resolution transect (23°–27°N; ∼2° longitude spacing) across the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre, integrating physical, chemical, and microbial observations to examine how hydrography and nutrient ...

Nitrogen isotopic evidence for a shift from nitrate- to diazotroph-fueled export production in the VAHINE mesocosm experiments [PDF]
In a coastal lagoon with a shallow, 25 m water column off the southwest coast of New Caledonia, large-volume ( ∼ 50 m3) mesocosm experiments were undertaken to track the fate of newly fixed nitrogen (N).

Dinitrogen fixation and dissolved organic nitrogen fueled primary production and particulate export during the VAHINE mesocosm experiment (New Caledonia lagoon) [PDF]
In the oligotrophic ocean characterized by nitrate (NO3−) depletion in surface waters, dinitrogen (N2) fixation and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) can represent significant nitrogen (N) sources for the ecosystem.

Biotic–Abiotic Hybrid Strategies for Photosynthetic Nitrogen Fixation and Green Ammonia Synthesis
Biotic‐abiotic photosynthetic systems integrate light‐harvesting semiconductors with nitrogenase's selective N2 reduction under ambient conditions, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional ammonia synthesis. Advancing rational interface design, efficient energy‐reaction coupling, and system integration is critical to realizing scalable, solar‐

Succession within the prokaryotic communities during the VAHINE mesocosms experiment in the New Caledonia lagoon [PDF]
N2 fixation fuels ∼ 50 % of new primary production in the oligotrophic South Pacific Ocean. The VAHINE experiment has been designed to track the fate of diazotroph-derived nitrogen (DDN) and carbon within a coastal lagoon ecosystem in a comprehensive ...
