Other claims from this paper (6)
- Mechanism Sulfur oxidation coupled to nitrogen fixation provides nitrogen to coastal macrophytes.
- Method / resource The study recovered 239 metagenome assembled genomes from a Spartina salt marsh.
- Observation Sulfur oxidizing bacteria highly expressed carbon, nitrogen and sulfur pathway genes, especially in stressed roots.
- Observation Stressed roots had the highest nitrogen fixation rates.
- Observation Stressed roots had highest expression of sulfur oxidation and sulfate reduction genes.
- Observation Candidatus Thiodiazotropha relatives contributed about 20 percent of nifK transcripts.
