Growing Unculturable Bacteria (2012, background): “Since isolation, the genome sequence has been determined, leading to insights into its nutritional requirements and improved culture conditions (28, 82).”
The genomic basis of trophic strategy in marine bacteria (2009, background): “The additional genetic load required to detoxify a wide range of compounds may be maintained at the expense of regulatory systems and by the reduction of intergenic regions, as has been suggested for the genome of the oligotroph ‘‘Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique’’ (17).”
Dynamics of Dissolved Organic Phosphorus (2015, background): “The second area of research involves physiological studies of novel model systems combined with genome sequencing that supports B vitamin auxotrophy for the most abundant heterotrophic bacterium in the sea (e.g., SAR 11 clade; Giovannoni et al., 2005; Tripp et al., 2008).”
Standing stocks and activity of Archaea and Bacteria in the western Arctic Ocean (2007, background): “Because one representative of the SAR11 clade found in the Arctic is not chemoautotrophic (Giovannoni et al. 2005), we assumed that the observed 14CO2 assimilation by SAR11 cells was due to anaplerotic fixation, which is carried out by all heterotrophs.”
Implications of streamlining theory for microbial ecology (2014, methodology): “In streamlined marine organisms there is a trend to higher proportions of nucleotides (AþT) and amino acids (for example, the substitution of lysine for arginine) that have lower N content, indicating that streamlining selection acts to reduce the amount of nitrogen needed for cell replication (Giov”
Picophytoplankton : Bottom-up and top-down controls on ecology and evolution (2005, positive): “Such gene loss, with genome streamlining, characterizes not only picophytoplanktonic but also the picochemoorganotrophic bacteria of the open ocean (Bryant 2002, Giovannoni et al. 2005).”
SAR11 dominance among metabolically active low nucleic acid bacterioplankton in surface waters along an Atlantic Meridional Transect (2006, background): “This is in agreement with current knowledge that SAR11 bacteria play a significant role in nutrient cycling in the ocean (Malmström et al. 2004, 2005, Giovannoni et al. 2005).”
Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation (2005, methodology): “3 Mbp is probably phototrophic (using proteorhopsin) and uses organic compounds as carbon and electron source [408, 935].”
