C<sub>5</sub> glycolipids of heterocystous cyanobacteria track symbiont abundance in the diatom <i>Hemiaulus hauckii</i> across the tropical North Atlantic

Diatom–diazotroph associations (DDAs) include marine heterocystous cyanobacteria found as exosymbionts and endosymbionts in multiple diatom species. Heterocysts are the site of N<sub>2</sub> fixation and have thickened cell walls containing unique heterocyst glycolipids which maintain...
