CO2 control of Trichodesmium N2 fixation, photosynthesis, growth rates, and elemental ratios: Implications for past, present, and future ocean biogeochemistry (2007, result): “Similar enhancement of N2 fixation at elevated pCO2 was also reported for the IMS Trichodesmium strain by Levitan et al. (2007).”
Ocean acidification and marine microorganisms : responses and consequences (2015, background): “Short-term studies on Trichodesmium spp. reveal that OA or elevated pCO2 will substantially increase the N2 fixation (Hutchins et al., 2007; Levitan et al., 2007; Shetye et al., 2013).”
Interactive effects of ocean acidification and temperature on two scleractinian corals from Moorea, French Polynesia (2012, background): “…and while a few are beneficial, such as enhanced productivity of angiosperms (Palacios & Zimmerman, 2007) and increased N fixation by cyanobacteria (Levitan et al., 2007), the majority are negative (Doney et al., 2009; Kroeker et al., 2010), especially for calcifying taxa (Kleypas et al., 2006).”
Differential effects of ocean acidification on growth and photosynthesis among phylotypes of Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) (2011, background): “…reported, notably increases of growth rate (Kim et al. 2006; Levitan et al. 2007), photosynthesis and carbon fixation rate (Hutchins et al. 2007; Levitan et al. 2007; Fu et al. 2008), cellular carbon and nitrogen content (Leonardos and Geider 2005; Fu et al. 2007; Levitan et al. 2007), and…”
Metagenomic reconstruction of nitrogen cycling pathways in a CO2-enriched grassland ecosystem (2017, background): “For example, enhanced N2 fixation in the ecosystem as a result of eCO2 have been observed in several studies (Hungate et al., 1999, 2003; Levitan et al., 2007), while declined N2 fixation has also been reported (Hungate et al., 2004).”
Phosphate availability and the ultimate control of new nitrogen input by nitrogen fixation in the tropical Pacific Ocean (2007, background): “Nevertheless, current estimates suggest that Trichodesmium may be two- to threefold more abundant than previously reported and may account for the missing sink of ∼90 Tg N required to support the observed new production in the ocean (Davis and McGillicuddy, 15 2006; Levitan et al., 2007) and confirm”
Possible effects of ocean acidification on coral reef biogeochemistry: topics for research (2008, background): “It is very likely that increased CO2 will alter the relative growth and efficiency of different groups of organisms (Phytoplankton, Riebesell et al. 2007; Cyanophytes, Levitan et al. 2007; Seagrass, Palacios & Zimmerman 2007).”
Climate change: links to global expansion of harmful cyanobacteria. (2012, background): “Elevated CO2 was shown experimentally to enhance growth, C:N ratios and N2 fixation in the open ocean bloom-forming cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum (Levitan et al., 2007) and may similarly affect other N2 fixing planktonic and benthic cyanobacteria.”
Responses of marine benthic microalgae to elevated CO2 (2011, unknown): “Research into the effects of ocean acidiﬁcation on microalgae has mainly focused on planktonic species in laboratory or mesocosm experiments (Kim et al. 2006; Fu et al. 2007; Levitan et al. 2007).”
Effect of ocean acidification on microbial diversity and on microbe-driven biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning (2010, background): “Mar Pollut Bull 44:142–148 Hutchins DA, Fu FX, Zhang Y, Warner ME and others (2007) CO2 control of Trichodesmium N2 fixation, photosynthesis, growth rates, and elemental ratios: implications for past, present, and future ocean biogeochemistry.”
Effects of rising CO₂ on the harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis (2016, background): “Therefore, in line with expectation, nitrogen fixation rates of Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101 strongly increase with elevated CO 2 (Hutchins et al. , 2007; Levitan et al. , 2007; Kranz et al. , 2010; Garcia et al. , 2011).”
