Seed inoculation of Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus does not alter the rhizosphere bacterial microbiome of wheat and barley in a three-year field trial The effects of plant growth promoting bacteria used for inoculation on native microorganisms remain unexplored under field conditions and, to a lesser…

Abiel Kidane (#MPI-Bremen) Germany talked about the dependency of #NitrogenFixation in the #ocean w. #Iron availability.
High N2 fixation is associated with high #Fe in the medium (Fu and Bell 2003; Wen et al 2022).
