Global biogeography of N₂-fixing microbes: <i>nifH</i> amplicon database and analytics workflow by M. Morando, J. D. Magasin, S. Cheung, S. Cheung, M. M. Mills, J. P. Zehr, K. A. Turk-Kubo

“…Although marine <span class="inline-formula">N₂</span> fixation is often ascribed to cyanobacterial diazotrophs, indirect evidence suggests that non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs) might also be important. One widely used approach for understanding diazotroph diversity and biogeography is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a portion of the <i>nifH</i> gene, which encodes a structural component of the <span class="inline-formula">N₂</span>-fixing enzyme complex, nitrogenase. …”
