Basis for Diel Variation in Nitrogenase Activity in the Marine Planktonic Cyanobacterium Trichodesmium thiebautii

Natural populations of the nonheterocystous marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium thiebautii exhibit a diel periodicity in nitrogenase activity (NA). NA “turns on” near dawn and “turns off” near dusk, independent of photic conditions. Chloramphenicol (CAP) and ammonium prevented turn on of NA in T. th...
