Nitrogen Fixation by Marine Photosynthetic Bacteria
S ummary . Potential nitrogen‐fixing marine photosynthetic bacteria isolated from the coastal waters and sea‐bed sediments of Cardigan Bay and adjoining mud flats, were investigated, using the acetylene reduction technique, to ascertain the magnitude of their contribution of fixed nitrogen to the co...
