Abstract: A Fe-binding protein belonging to the Dps family (DNA binding protein from starved cells) in the N2-fixing marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum is described. A dps gene encoding a protein with significant levels of identity to the members of the Dps family was identified in the genome of T. erythraeum
