Periodic Reporting for period 1 - IRONBIND (The influence of ocean acidification on phytotransferrin-mediated iron uptake rates in phytoplankton)

The goal of Project IRONBIND is to determine whether elevated concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) negatively affect the growth of marine phytoplankton by interfering with a key iron acquisition mechanism. This mechanism, phytotransferrin-mediated iron binding...
