Differential Effects of Varying Concentrations of Phosphorus, Iron, and Nitrogen in N2-Fixing Cyanobacteria

Diazotrophs or N2-fixers are one of the most ecologically significant groups in marine ecosystems (pelagic and benthic). Inorganic phosphorus (PO43–) and iron (Fe) can limit the growth and N2-fixing capacities of cyanobacteria. However, studies investigating co-limitation of these factors are lackin...
