Ecology of nitrogen fixers in the Pacific Ocean
Limiting nutrients and abundance of nitrogen fixers in the Pacific Ocean. Nitrogen is an essential component of all cells. It is used to make the amino acid building blocks of proteins, and is also required in the nucleic acids of DNA and RNA. Although nitrogen extremely abundant in the open ocean, it is mostly found … Continue reading Ecology of nitrogen fixers in the Pacific Ocean -
