Abstract

Crocosphaera watsonii is as a key nitrogen (N) supplier in marine ecosystems, and it has been estimated to contribute up to half of oceanic N 2 fixation. Conversely, a recent study reported that Crocosphaera can assimilate combined N and proposed that unicellular diazotrophs can be competitors with non-N 2 fixing phytoplankton for combined N.
