Marine Bioinorganic Chemistry: The Role of Trace Metals in the Oceanic Cycles of Major Nutrients (2003, background): “Nitrogenase activity (measured by acetylene reduction) shows a precipitous drop below a threshold iron quota of ,35 mmol Fe (mol C)(21) (Berman-Frank et al., 2001) (Figure 15(b)).”
Latitudinal distribution of Trichodesmium spp. and N 2 fixation in the Atlantic Ocean (2010, background): “, 2003), iron supply has been considered as the most limiting factor for the distribution and metabolic activity of this genus and, by extension, N 2 fixation rates in the ocean (Falkowski, 1997; Berman-Frank et al., 2001).”
Iron, phosphorus, and nitrogen supply ratios define the biogeography of nitrogen fixation (2013, background): “These assumptions are essential to the arguments laid out here (and in previous work; see Monteiro et al. 2010; Dutkiewicz et al. 2012), but they are also very strongly supported by observations (Berman-Frank et al. 2001; 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).”
Nitrogen fixation by Trichodesmium spp.: An important source of new nitrogen to the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean (2005, background): “The recognition that photosynthetic diazotrophs have a higher cell quota for iron [ Berman-Frank et al., 2001; Kustka et al., 2003] has led to the general hypothesis that iron enrichment resulting from dust deposition in the tropical North Atlantic is responsible for enhanced levels of diazotrophy ”
Nutrient limitation of primary productivity in the Southeast Pacific (BIOSOPE cruise) (2007, background): “Consequently, the phytoplankton community as a whole, and particularly nitrogen-fixing organisms have been suggested to be Fe-limited (Falkowski et al., 1998; Berman-Frank et al., 2001; Moore et al., 2002), but direct experiment were lacking.”
Blooms of Baltic Sea Aphanizomenon sp. (Cyanobacteria) collapse after internal phosphorus depletion (2007, background): “It has been suggested that cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium, found in oligotrophic tropical oceans, are limited by Fe (Berman-Frank et al. 2001) or phosphorus (P) (Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al. 2001, Kustka et al. 2003) or co-limited by these nutrients (Mills et al. 2004).”
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.”

Pelagic functional group modeling: Progress, challenges and prospects (2006, neutral): “…requirement of the nitrogenase enzyme and the global correspondence between regions of iron deposition and N2 fixation, it is generally thought that diazotrophic growth is limited by the availability of iron (Rueter, 1982; Raven, 1988; Rueter et al., 1992; Paerl, 1999; Berman-Frank et al., 2001).”
Element stoichiometries of individual plankton cells collected during the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX) (2004, neutral): “…on either filtration to concentrate cells for bulk analysis (e.g., Martin and Knauer 1973; Collier and Edmond 1984; Cullen et al. 2003) or have involved macroscopic aggregates such as Trichodesmium tufts that can be isolated manually from the water for analysis (e.g., Berman-Frank et al. 2001).”
Influence of the Amazon River plume on distributions of free‐living and symbiotic cyanobacteria in the western tropical north Atlantic Ocean (2007, background): “Fe limitation is especially important for diazotrophs, since Fe is needed for the nitrogenase enzyme (Falkowski 1997; Berman-Frank et al. 2001; Kustka et al. 2002).”
The elemental stoichiometry and composition of an iron‐limited diatom (2005, background): “…have shown that, compared with nutrient-replete cultures, algal C : N, N : P, and C : P may increase (Muggli and Harrison 1996; De La Rocha et al. 2000; Berman-Frank et al. 2001) or decrease (Doucette and Harrison 1991; Maldonado and Price 1996; Sakshaug and Holm-Hansen 1977) when Fe is limiting.”
