Nutrient starvation and phosphonate utilization coordinate buoyancy and high-light tolerance in Trichodesmium

| Nature Verified
Abstract The formation of surface blooms by the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Trichodesmium contributes extensively to carbon and nitrogen cycling. Yet the physiological drivers governing its vertical ascent and subsequent tolerance to high surface irradiance remain obscure. By measuring sinking and floating velocities, analyzing transcriptome responses, and tracking the subcellular distribution of gas vesicles, we show that nutrient starvation is the primary trigger for vertical ascent.
