N2 Fixation in Trichodesmium Does Not Require Spatial Segregation from Photosynthesis

ABSTRACT The dominant marine filamentous N2 fixer, Trichodesmium, conducts photosynthesis and N2 fixation during the daytime. Because N2 fixation is sensitive to O2, some previous studies suggested that spatial segregation of N2 fixation and photosynthesis is essential in Trichodesmium. However, thi...
