Sulfur oxidation and reduction are coupled to nitrogen fixation in the roots of a salt marsh foundation plant species

J. L. Rolando, M. Kolton, T. Song, Y. Liu, P. Pinamang, R. E. Conrad, J. T. Morris, K. T. Konstantinidis, J. E. Kostka

This study shows sulfur oxidation and reduction are coupled to nitrogen fixation in the roots of Spartina alterniflora, with a novel symbiosis involving Candidatus Thiodiazotropha.
