Nitrogen Fixation in Low Molybdenum Ocean by Purple Sulfur Bacteria

Lake Cadagno of low molybdenum image

A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute recently studied the organisms responsible for nitrogen fixation and the types of nitrogenase used in the anoxic, low molybdenum (Mo) chemosphere of Lake Cadagno by combining natural abundance isotope measurements with stable isotope culture, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and single-cell analysis.
