Schematic illustration of proposed H+ and Na+ energetics in Cyanothece sp. a Schematic representation of the typical H+ energetics across the thylakoid membrane coupled to photosynthesis in cyanobacteria (including Cyanothece sp.). b Schematic representation of the proposed Na+ energetics across the plasma membrane with Na+ gradient generator and consumer in N2-fixing Cyanothece sp. cells.

Happy to see this out @NatComm
We found that the unicellular coastal cyanobacterium Cyanothece sp uses sodium energetics rather than the typical proton energetics to fix N2. Sodium energetics likely is more widespread and affects the global nitrogen cycle.
Congrats Si Tang
