  2. 1. Non-cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation insights in humic freshwater lakes and ponds

    Author : Leyden Fernandez-Vidal; Stefan Bertilsson; Sari Peura; David Walsh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : humic lakes; thaw ponds; non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs; nitrogen fixation; nitrogenase;

    Abstract : The biological basis of nitrogen fixation beyond the canonical role of Cyanobacteria is not well understood in freshwater ecosystems. To address this gap in knowledge, the main objective of this thesis is to study non-cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation in freshwater lakes and ponds. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diazotrophy and diversity of benthic cyanobacteria in tropical coastal zones

    Author : Karolina Bauer; Birgitta Bergman; Paul K. Hayes; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marine cyanobacteria; benthic nitrogen fixation; diversity; diazotrophy; Lyngbya majuscula; Zanzibar; western Indian Ocean; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Discoveries in recent years have disclosed the importance of marine cyano-bacteria in the context of primary production and global nitrogen cycling. It is hypothesized here that microbial mats in tropical coastal habitats harbour a rich diversity of previously uncharacterized cyanobacteria and that benthic marine nitrogen fixation in coastal zones is substantial.
