Iron Speciation and Physiological Analysis Indicate that <i>Synechococcus</i> sp. PCC 7002 Reduces Amorphous and Crystalline Iron Forms in Synthetic Seawater Medium

Iron Speciation and Physiological Analysis Indicate that <i>Synechococcus</i> sp. PCC 7002 Reduces Amorphous and Crystalline Iron Forms in Synthetic Seawater Medium

Cyanobacteria have high iron requirements due to iron-rich photosynthetic machineries. Despite the high concentrations of iron in the Earth’s crust, iron is limiting in many marine environments due to iron’s low solubility. Oxic conditions leave a large portion of the ocean’s iron pool unavailable f...
