Genomic deletions disrupt nitrogen metabolism pathways of a cyanobacterial diatom symbiont

Diatoms with symbiotic N(2)-fixing cyanobacteria are often abundant in the oligotrophic open ocean gyres. The most abundant cyanobacterial symbionts form heterocysts (specialized cells for N(2) fixation) and provide nitrogen (N) to their hosts, but their morphology, cellular locations and abundances...
