Abstract Fungal parasites are associated with bloom-forming algae, yet their impact on N2 fixation and the fate of newly fixed nitrogen during cyanobacterial blooms is poorly understood. We report infections on the ecologically important N2-fixing cyanobacterium Dolichospermum (formerly Anabaena) in the Baltic Sea. Using single-cell isotope probing, microscopy, and biogeochemical analyses, we examine how infections affect carbon and N2 fixation and elemental transfer within a natural community.
