Seasonal patterns in microbial carbon and iron transporter expression in the Southern Ocean

Abstract Background Heterotrophic microbes in the Southern Ocean are challenged by the double constraint of low concentrations of organic carbon (C) and iron (Fe). These essential elements are tightly coupled in cellular processes; however, the prokaryotic requirements of C and Fe under varying envi...
