Abstract:Non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs) are widespread and active in marine waters. The carbon and low-oxygen (O

) conditions required for their N

fixation may be encountered on marine particles, while a putative role of light remains uninvestigated. This study explored factors that regulate N

fixation in
Rhodopseudomonas
sp. BAL398—a anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium isolated from low-salinity surface waters. L… Show more
