Nitrogen fixation and transfer in open ocean diatom–cyanobacterial symbioses

Many diatoms that inhabit low-nutrient waters of the open ocean live in close association with cyanobacteria. Some of these associations are believed to be mutualistic, where N(2)-fixing cyanobacterial symbionts provide N for the diatoms. Rates of N(2) fixation by symbiotic cyanobacteria and the N t...
