Marine autotrophs

The carbon fixed by marine autotrophs has several possible fates. Approximately one third is respired within the algal cells to provide energy for growth and maintenance. [Pg.617]

Although inorganic N has traditionally been thought to be the primary N source for marine autotrophs, it is now apparent that this is not always true (see Chapter 7 by Mulholland and Lomas, this volume) and that organic N can be a major N source in many marine environments. With that in mind, enzymes involved in the hydrolysis or mobihzation of organic N are examined. [Pg.1416]

The only cultivated AOA, Nitrospumilus maritimus, depends on CO2 as its only carbon source and the presence of even low levels of organic carbon were inhibitory to growth. The pathway of CO2 fixation is, however, unknown. Hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeota generally utilize a 3-hydroxypropionate pathway or a reductive TCA cycle for autotrophic carbon fixation. Another cultivated marine Crenarchaeota strain, Cenarchaeum symbiosum, a sponge symbiont, appears to use the 3-hydroxypropionate pathway. It cannot be concluded on this basis which pathway is used by the AOA, but it very likely that is not the Calvin cycle. N. maritimus had a minimal generation time of 21 h, longer but roughly on the same scale as AOB. [Pg.201]
