Phosphorus physiology of the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium
… global cycling of carbon. The marine diazotroph Trichodesmium is a major contributor to both primary production and nitrogen fixation in the tropical and subtropical oceans. These regions are often characterized by low phosphorus (P) concentrations, and P deficiency of Trichodesmium could limit …

The relationship between iron and nitrogen fixation in Trichodesmium spp.
Trichodesmium spp. are considered the dominant nitrogen (N) fixing cyanobacteria in tropical and subtropical oceans, regimes frequently characterized by low iron (Fe). Limited information exists about what levels of Fe limit Trichodesmium N fixation. I developed a diagnostic for Fe limitation using …

Multiscale, multiparadigm metabolic modeling of the keystone diazotrophic cyanobacterium, Trichodesmium erythraeum
… a crucial diazotrophic cyanobacterium, Trichodesmium erythraeum. It uses genome-scale modeling approaches to characterize a unique metabolism at the center of the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus biogeochemical cycles. It ties these models to experimentation, both personally conducted …

Diversity of the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium : characterization of the Woods Hole culture collection and quantification of field populations
Trichodesmium is a colonial, N2-fixing cyanobacterium found in tropical oceans. Species of Trichodesmium are genetically similar but several species exist together in the same waters. In order to coexist, Trichodesmium spp. may occupy different niche spaces through differential utilization of …

Microbial interactions associated with biofilms attached to Trichodesmium spp. and detrital particles in the ocean
… communities inhabiting biofilms attached to Trichodesmium spp. and detrital (photosynthetically-derived sinking particulate organic carbon, POC) particles. These hot spots of microbial activity are primary sites of interaction between marine primary producers and heterotrophs and crucial …

Protein regulation in Trichodesmium and other marine bacteria: observational and interpretive biomarkers of biogeochemical processes
… I focus on the prevalent marine nitrogen fixer Trichodesmium, whose activity affects global nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, and trace metal cycles. A metaproteomic survey of Trichodesmium populations identified simultaneous iron and phosphate co-stress throughout the tropical and subtropical …

Investigating the role of trichodesmium spp. in the oceanic nitrogen cycle through observations and models
The nitrogen fixation and abundance of Trichodesmium colonies and their connections with physical processes were investigated through Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) and other observations collected in fall 2010 and spring 2011 in the western subtropical–tropical North Atlantic. A data processing …

N2 fixation by subsurface populations of Trichodesmium : an important source of new nitrogen to the North Atlantic Ocean
Trichodesmium, a genus of diazotrophic cyanobacteria, is an important contributor to the marine nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) cycles. The extent to which Trichodesmium dinitrogen (N2) fixation contributes to the marine N cycle has been modeled based on abundance data and rate estimates from surface …

Exploring the Spatial Distribution of Marine Nitrogen Fixation Through Statistical Modeling, High-Resolution Observations and Molecular Level Characterization
… I captured a shift between diazotrophs from Trichodesmium to UCYN-A from oligotrophic warm (25-29°C) subtropical Sargasso Sea to the relatively nutrient-enriched cold (13-24°C) eastern American coastal waters. Meanwhile, N2 fixation rates were significantly enhanced when phosphorus and Fe …

Factors controlling bacterial abundance, biomass and growth at the Bermuda Atlantic time-series site
… 42 % of the primary production rate, while Trichodesmium colonies only excreted 12 % (puffs) and 23 % (tufts). By using a conservative estimate of the bacterial growth efficiency (14 %) and the net DOC accumulation rate from this study, gross DOC excretion was equivalent to the rate of …

FLORIDA RED TIDES FROM A SCIENTIFIC AND PUBLIC INFORMATION PERSPECTIVE
… and temporally associated bloom species such as Trichodesmium was suggested in the 1950s but remains unconfirmed. Another fundamental question is the definition of a "bloom"; there is a need to agree on what constitutes a bloom so the dynamics of blooms at large can be better understood. Long- …
