Identifying potential sources of iron-binding ligands in coastal Antarctic environments and the wider Southern Ocean

Identifying potential sources of iron-binding ligands in coastal Antarctic environments and the wider Southern Ocean

The availability of iron (Fe) to marine microbial communities is enhanced through complexation by ligands. In Fe limited environments, measuring the distribution and identifying the likely sources of ligands is therefore central to understanding the drivers of marine productivity. Antarctic coastal...
