Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen fixation by diazotrophic bacteria is a significant source of new nitrogen in salt marsh ecosystems. Recent studies have characterized the physiological and phylogenetic diversity of oxygen-utilizing diazotrophs isolated from the rhizoplanes of spatially separated intertidal macrophyte habitats. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the traits encoded by and the diversity of plasmids...
