Transcriptional patterns identify resource controls on the diazotroph Trichodesmium in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans

The N2-fixing cyanobacterium *Trichodesmium* is intensely studied because of the control this organism exerts over the cycling of carbon and nitrogen in the low nutrient ocean gyres. Although iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) bioavailability are thought …

Shifting metabolic priorities among key protistan taxa within and below the euphotic zone

A metatranscriptome study targeting the protistan community was conducted off the coast of Southern California, at the San Pedro Ocean Time‐series station at the surface, 150 m (oxycline), and 890 m to link putative metabolic patterns to distinct …

Variable depth distribution of Trichodesmium clades in the North Pacific Ocean

Populations of nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria in the genus *Trichodesmium* are critical to ocean ecosystems, yet predicting patterns of *Trichodesmium* distribution and their role in ocean biogeochemistry is an ongoing challenge. This may, in part, be …

Functional group-specific traits drive phytoplankton dynamics in the oligotrophic ocean

A diverse microbial assemblage in the ocean is responsible for nearly half of global primary production. It has been hypothesized and experimentally demonstrated that nutrient loading can stimulate blooms of large eukaryotic phytoplankton in …
