The essential nutrient phosphorus is biologically scarce in the Sargasso Sea, yet the pelagic macroalgae Sargassum, for which this area of the North Atlantic Ocean is named, thrives. We tested the hypothesis that Sargassum holobionts utilize methylphosphonate (MPn) as an alternative source of phosphorus via bottle incubations, finding lysis liberated phosphonate-derived methane. The resulting data of methane production relative to various control conditions in the bottle system over time was use...
