Long-Term Acclimation to Iron Limitation Reveals New Insights in Metabolism Regulation of Synechococcus sp. PCC7002

In large areas of the ocean phytoplankton growth is limited by the scarcity of iron (Fe), an essential co-factor for multiple enzymes. Phytoplankton has hence developed strategies to survive under Fe limitation. Here, we characterize the response to Fe limitation of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus...
