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...

Genome-enabled investigation of the minimal growth requirements andphosphate metabolism for Pelagibacter marine bacteria

Creator:

Carini, Paul J.

Abstract:

Members of the SAR11 clade of heterotrophic α-proteobacteria are ubiquitous and abundant in the world's oceans where they are thought to play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. The first SAR11 bacterium cultivated in vitro, 'Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique' HTCC1062 (Ca. P. ubique), was isolated by dilution into sterile...
