18 Fe Requirements and Physiology of Heterotrophic Marine Bacteria at OSP Tortell, Maldonado and Price 1996 Nature 1. Heterotrophic bacteria have higher Fe:C than eukaryotic phytoplankton 2. Constitute ~50% of total biogenic Fe 3. Account for 20-45% of Fe uptake

20 Fe Requirements and Physiology of Heterotrophic Marine Bacteria at OSP Tortell, Maldonado and Price 1996 Nature 4. Bacterial Fe quotas in the field imply Felimitation 5. Fe-limited cultures have lower ETS activity, growth rates and C use efficiencies In Fe-limited ecosystems heterotrophic bacteria may respire more organic carbon reducing the amount available to higher trophic levels.
