Substrate specificity and ecological significance of PstS homologs in phosphorus uptake in marine Synechococcus sp. WH8102

ABSTRACTPhosphorus, a vital macronutrient, often limits primary productivity in marine environments. Marine Synechococcus strains, including WH8102, rely on high-affinity phosphate-binding proteins (PstS) to scavenge inorganic phosphate in oligotrophic oceans. However, WH8102 possesses three distinc...
