Outliers: The Unusual Characteristics of Marine Carbon-Oxidizing Bacterial Cells Adapted to Oligotrophic Conditions

Creator:

Noell, Stephen E.

Abstract:

Oligotrophic bacteria are adapted to low nutrient concentrations. As most of the ocean is oligotrophic (low in nutrients), oligotrophic bacteria thrive in the ocean and make up the majority of planktonic cells. Because of this, oligotrophs are crucial to oceanic nutrient cycles. However, marine oligotrophic bacteria are dwarfed by their...
