Trichodesmium erythraeum is a marine cyanobacteria species characterized by its prolific diazotrophic capabilities.[1] They play a dominant role in the ocean ecosystem, supplying a steady and significant source of new, biologically available nitrogen and cycling phosphorus.[2] By nature of its filamentous morphology, T. erythraeum is also known to congregate into large, long colonies, sizeable enough to be seen as sawdust-like particles to the naked eye and pigmented marine regions in satellite images, typically found in oligotrophic tropical and subtropical waters.[3] These blooms are responsible for the famous coloration of the Red Sea.[4]
