Nutrient limitation of primary productivity in the Southeast Pacific (BIOSOPE cruise) (2007, background): “It is hypothesized that this region is not a favourable environment for common photoautotrophic nitrogen fixing organisms (e.g. Trichodesmium), as they have elevated Fe quotas relative to non-diazotrophic phytoplankton (Kustka et al., 2003).”
Interactions between changing pCO2, N2 fixation, and Fe limitation in the marine unicellular cyanobacterium Crocosphaera (2008, background): “Fe requirements and cellular Fe quotas from both cultures and natural populations of Trichodesmium have been estimated (Berman-Frank et al. 2001; Kustka et al. 2003).”
Phosphate availability controls Trichodesmium spp. biomass in the SW Pacific Ocean (2005, background): “18 Moutin et al.: Phosphate availability and Trichodesmium spp. biomass The relationship between P-limited Trichodesmium spp. growth and the cellular-P quota is currently unknown (Kustka et al. 2003).”
Competition and facilitation between unicellular nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria and non—nitrogen‐fixing phytoplankton species (2007, background): “In various oceanic regions, however, phosphorus and iron limitation have a major impact on phytoplankton production (Martin et al. 1994; Wu et al. 2000) and on the growth and distribution of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al. 2001; Kustka et al. 2003; Mills et al. 2004).”
The effect of growth rate, phosphorus concentration, and temperature on N2 fixation, carbon fixation, and nitrogen release in continuous cultures of Trichodesmium IMS101 (2005, background): “…et al. 1996, 1998; Fu and Bell 2003a) and N (Ohki et al. 1991; Mulholland et al. 2001; Fu and Bell 2003a) and some information with regard to the regulation of N2 fixation by P (Mulholland et al. 2002; Fu and Bell 2003b) and Fe (Berman-Frank et al. 2001a; Kustka et al. 2003; Fu and Bell 2003b).”
Nitrogen fixation in the western equatorial Pacific: Rates, diazotrophic cyanobacterial size class distribution, and biogeochemical significance (2009, background): “Among the ecological factors that have been seen to control diazotrophs growth and nitrogen fixation, iron plays a central role [e.g., Kustka et al., 2003].”
Global biogeochemical impacts of phytoplankton: a trait‐based perspective (2015, background): “This spatial extent of nitrogen fixation is limited both by temperature (Staal, Meysman & Stal 2003) and by the availability of iron, which is needed for the production of the nitrogenase enzyme (Berman-Frank et al. 2001; Kustka et al. 2003).”
Evidence of active dinitrogen fixation in surface waters of the eastern tropical South Pacific during El Niño and La Niña events and evaluation of its potential nutrient controls (2013, background): “Due to the high Fe requirements for nitrogenase [Berman-Frank et al., 2001; Kustka et al., 2003a, 2003b], it is also suspected to control N2 fixation [Paerl et al., 1994; Mills et al., 2004; Saito et al., 2011], but this process and its controlling factors have been very poorly studied in this area.”
A conceptual framework for ecosystem stoichiometry: balancing resource supply and demand (2005, background): “Although P-limitation of N-fixation has been demonstrated (Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al. 2001), there is also evidence for light- (Hood et al. 2004) and iron-limitation (Berman-Frank et al. 2001, Kustka et al. 2003) as well as co-limitation (Mills et al. 2004).”
