How does a cell maintain its identity during replication?Prior to cell division, chromosomes are seemingly a jumbled mess. Researchers have long assumed that genes become "silent" during cell division, not being transcribed into proteins or regulatory molecules. This has left open the question of how genes get properly re-activated after cell division. Now, researchers have found that gene expression actually continues during cell replication.

(Reports, 5 May 2017, p. 527) suggested that previous studies of the biogeochemically significant marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium showing increased growth and nitrogen fixation at projected future high CO 2 levels suffered from ammonia or copper toxicity.

Response to Comment on "The complex effects of ocean acidification on the prominent N2-fixing cyanobacterium Trichodesmium" Hutchins et al . question the validity of our results showing that under fast growth conditions, the beneficial effect of high CO 2 on Trichodesmium is overwhelmed by the deleterious effect of the concomitant decrease in ambient and cellular pH. The positive effect of acidification reported by Hutchins and co-workers is likely caused by culture conditions that support suboptimal growth rates.
