Diversity and activity of nitrogen‐fixing communities across ocean basins (2017, background): “Nevertheless, multiple lines of evidence suggest historical underestimations of both marine N2 fixation rates (NFR) (Codispoti 2007; Deutsch et al. 2007; Großkopf et al. 2012) and the diversity and abundance of marine N2-fixers (diazotrophs) (Riemann et al. 2010).”
Ocean acidification and marine microorganisms : responses and consequences (2015, background): “Although non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs such as chemoautotrophic or heterotrophic diazotrophs also contribute to the marine N2 fixation in surface seawater, the contribution has been regarded as trivial (Riemann et al., 2010).”
Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “This feature is exploited by many marine microorganisms, especially in environments with strong iron limitation, for CO2 fixation, N2 fixation, and other key biogeochemical processes (155, 656).”
Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in Estuaries: From Genes to Ecosystem Processes (2018, background): “…and oligotrophic freshwater systems (e.g., McCarthy et al. 2007; Carey et al. 2008), the prevalence of cyanobacterial nifHgenesvariesbetweenestuaries, andadiverse suiteofpresumably heterotrophic and anaerobic bacterial nifH genes is common in many estuaries (Zehr et al. 2003; Riemann et al. 2010).”
