Organic Nitrogen Utilization by Phytoplankton: The Role of Cell-Surface Deaminases. (1998)

Palenik, Brian P.

Many phytoplankton can catalyze the decomposition of organic phosphates using cell-surface phosphates and subsequently take up the phosphorus for growth. The nitrogen analogs, cell-surface...

Local niche occupancy of marine Synechococcus lineages is facilitated by lateral gene transfers. Genomic islands act as repositories for these transferred genes.
