Abstract
The nitrogen cycle in the oceans may need a rethink. It seems that the ability to transform N2 gas to a biologically available form may be much more widespread than has been assumed.
All living things need nitrogen. But its most common form, N2 gas, can be used only by microorganisms that possess the enzyme nitrogenase and can 'fix' nitrogen into a biologically usable form.
