This project investigates the role of iron in marine ecosystems, particularly its impact on phytoplankton productivity. It aims to characterize iron-binding ligands in seawater to understand their role in microbial iron acquisition and the overall marine nutrient cycle.
Iron is an essential element in many key biochemical processes, including respiration, nitrogen fixation, nitrate reduction, and chlorophyll biosynthesis.
Iron limits phytoplankton production and regulates plankton community structure over large areas of the ocean, and for some marine bacteria, iron stress stimulates expression of high affinity iron acquisition systems, including extracellular iron specific chelators, or siderophores.
Iron speciation measurements show that >99% of dissolved iron…
