Studies in Fe bioavailability : co-limitation of primary productivity by iron, light, and nitrate in the Beaufort Sea, and direct iron-siderophore uptake mechanisms in Fe deficient phytoplankton

This study explores two relevant questions in the realm of iron (Fe) bioavailability to phytoplankton. First, does Fe availability limit (or co-limit) growth of indigenous plankton communities in the Arctic Ocean? Second, can phytoplankton internalize ferrated siderophores with a non-reductive uptak...
