Carbon transfer from the host diatom enables fast growth and high rate of N2 fixation by symbiotic heterocystous cyanobacteria
Diatom–diazotroph associations (DDAs) are symbioses where trichome-forming cyanobacteria support the host diatom with fixed nitrogen through dinitrogen (N2) fixation. It is inferred that the growth of the trichomes is also supported by the host, but the support mechanism has not been fully quantifie...
