Despite very low concentrations of cobalt in marine waters, cyanobacteria in the genus <i>Prochlorococcus</i> retain the genetic machinery for the synthesis and use of cobalt-bearing cofactors (cobalamins) in their genomes. We explore cobalt metabolism in a <i>Prochlorococcus</i> isolate from the equatorial Pacific Ocean (strain MIT9215) through a series of growth experiments under iron- and cobalt-limiting conditions. Metal uptake rates, quantitative proteomic measurements of cobalamin-dependen ...[more]
