Interconnection of nitrogen fixers and iron in the Pacific Ocean: Theory and numerical simulations (2012, background): “These are a more formal representation of the findings of Monteiro et al. [2011], are consistent with observations [Moore et al., 2009; Church et al., 2008; Mills et al., 2004; Berman-Frank et al., 2007], and provide a solid mechanistic interpretation of nutrient control on diazotrophy.”
Autotrophic picoplankton in mesozooplankton guts: evidence of aggregate feeding in the mesopelagic zone and export of small phytoplankton (2010, background): “These unicellular N2-fixing bacteria are broadly distributed in the warm, oligotrophic Pacific Ocean (Zehr et al. 2001, 2007, Montoya et al. 2004, 2007, Church et al. 2008) and could also be consumed within aggregates.”
Distribution of diverse nitrogen fixers in the global ocean (2010, background): “Observations indicate the presence of DDAs in the tropical and subtropical North Pacific Ocean [Venrick, 1974; Gomez et al., 2005; Church et al., 2008; Kitajima et al., 2009], the equatorial North Atlantic Ocean (in particular in the vicinity of the Amazon River plume) [Villareal, 1991; Carpenter et”
Nitrogen fixation in the western equatorial Pacific: Rates, diazotrophic cyanobacterial size class distribution, and biogeochemical significance (2009, background): “: N2 FIXATION IN THE EQUATORIAL PACIFIC 8 of 13 GB3012 trophs are possibly related to the uncultivated group A [e.g., Zehr et al., 2008; Mazard et al., 2004; Biegala and Raimbault, 2008], a widely distributed phylotype [Church et al., 2008].”
Latitudinal distribution of diazotrophs and their nitrogen fixation in the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific (2009, background): “Further, a recent study has demonstrated the dominance of a nifH gene in the central North and South Pacific and presumed it to be an uncultivated cyanobacterium (Church et al. 2008).”
Diversity and activity of nitrogen‐fixing communities across ocean basins (2017, result): “In agreement with previous studies at Stn. ALOHA using qPCR and nifH clone libraries (Church et al. 2005a, 2008; B€ottjer et al. 2014), we found that the cyanobacterium UCYN-A was present at high concentrations (1042105 nifH copies L21) and dominated the diazotrophic community in the euphotic zone…”
Iron, phosphorus, and nitrogen supply ratios define the biogeography of nitrogen fixation (2013, background): “The estimated extent of the third, SPD province corresponds to large regions of the South Atlantic and subtropical Pacific, where diazotrophs have been found in low abundance but surface P is not fully drawn down (Church et al. 2008; Moore et al. 2009; Luo et al. 2012).”
Physical forcing of nitrogen fixation and diazotroph community structure in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (2009, background): “Although these filamentous, bloom-forming N2-fixing organisms are known to be important to ocean biogeochemistry, application of molecular-based tools continues to broaden appreciation of the diversity, abundances, and activities of other, less conspicuous groups of diazotrophs in the oceans [Zehr e”
Nitrogenase genes in non-cyanobacterial plankton: prevalence, diversity and regulation in marine waters (2010, background): “For instance, similar Gammaproteobacteria have been detected in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and the Arabian and South China Seas (Bird et al. 2005, Langlois et al. 2005, 2008, Church et al. 2005a, 2008, Moisander et al. 2008).”
Differing responses of marine N2 fixers to warming and consequences for future diazotroph community structure (2014, background): “Based on nifH DNA copy abundance, UCYN-A cyanobacteria (average 103−105 copies l−1, Church et al. 2008, Moisander et al. 2010) have been observed at temperatures ranging from 15 to 30°C (Needoba et al. 2007, Church et al. 2008, Langlois et al. 2008).”
