Discovery of the nitroplast, how very cool! And it's also very cool that we can look at the code of life and piece things together - like reverse engineering.

What I don't understand though are the dead zones in the sea. Wouldn't it be filled with this algae? Or is it even tol saturated for that?

It probably needs other nutrients to get by as well. The application of splicing it into plants so they don't need fertilizer and can just pull nitrogen from the air would be incredible though.
