Research Article | Ecological and Evolutionary ScienceLinking Nitrogen Load to the Structure and Function of Wetland Soil and Rhizosphere Microbial CommunitiesMicroorganisms living within the rhizospheres of wetland plants significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding how microbes produce these gases under conditions that have been imposed by human activities (i.e., nitrogen pollution) is important to the development of future management strategies. Our results illustrate that within the rhizosphere of the wetland plant Juncus acutiflorus, physiological...
Editor's Pick Research Article | Molecular Biology and PhysiologyQuantitative Proteomics Shows Extensive Remodeling Induced by Nitrogen Limitation in Prochlorococcus marinus SS120Prochlorococcus is the most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth, contributing significantly to global primary production and playing a prominent role in biogeochemical cycles. Here we study the effects of extreme nitrogen limitation, a feature of the oligotrophic oceans inhabited by this organism. Quantitative proteomics allowed an accurate quantification of the Prochlorococcus proteome, finding three main...
