Trichodesmium

Previously, it has been thought that the large-scale autumn bloom that develops in this region is driven by nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, called Trichodesmium, colonies of which the researchers found to be abundant.

Recent data suggest that elevated CO2 substantially increases nitrogen fixation by the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium, which could fundamentally alter the nitrogen cycle and potentially drive some oceanic regimes towards phosphorus limitation.

Trichodesmium are cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which appears naturally and is commonly known as sea sawdust, sea scum and whale sperm, for its likeness to a whale's reproductive fluid.
