Growing Unculturable Bacteria (2012, background): “Originally identified as a prime example of a ubiquitous but uncultured bacterium of importance to primary production in the ocean, this clade is one of the most abundant proteorhodopsin-containing organisms in seawater (55).”
Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “For example, some marine bacteria, such as those affiliated with the SAR11 and SAR86 lineages, are mainly free-living (754, 755), while the marine Rhodobacteraceae group of the Alphaproteobacteria (i.”

Predation on prokaryotes in the water column and its ecological implications (2005, background): “Members of the SAR11 clade of the α-proteobacteria are probably among the most common prokaryotes in marine plankto”
Phylogenetic analysis of epiphytic marine bacteria on Hole-Rotten diseased sporophytes of Laminaria japonica (2008, methodology): “Recently, novel isolation techniques were applied to obtain the ubiquitous marine bacterioplankton SAR11 (Rappe et al. 2002; Morris et al. 2002) and thermophilic Nanoarchaeota (Huber et al.”
The ecological coherence of high bacterial taxonomic ranks (2010, background): “Another example of a bacterial clade that shares life strategies is SAR11 (in the order Rickettsiales), which consists of very small, heterotrophic, aquatic alphaproteobacteria and accounts for around 35% of the bacterioplankton communities in marine surface water”
Oligotyping: Differentiating between closely related microbial taxa using 16S rRNA gene data (2013, background): “These strains are members of the SAR11 clade subgroup S1a (Morris et al. 2002), and they are further grouped into internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-based phylotype P1a.1 and P1a.3, respectively (Stingl, Tripp & Giovannoni 2007).”
Latitudinal patterns in the abundance of major marine bacterioplankton groups (2010, background): “We confirmed the ubiquitous dominance of Alphaproteobacteria and the SAR11 clade (Morris et al. 2002, Pommier et al. 2007), medium to high abundance of Gammaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes (Giovannoni & Stingl 2005) and low numbers of Archaea in oceanic surface waters (DeLong et al. 2006).”
The Selective Value of Bacterial Shape (2006, background): “At the smallest end of the free-living bacteria, the SAR11 clade of marine Alphaproteobacteria constitute up to 25% of all ocean microbes (50% in some surface waters) and 12% of the marine prokaryotic biomass (93, 222, 266).”
Biogeography of Bacterioplankton in Inland Waters (2008, positive): “From studies of marine bacterioplankton communities, it seems that a few bacterial groups or clusters (the alphaproteobacterial SAR11 and Roseobacter clusters) feature an almost worldwide distribution alongside high abundances (Giovannoni et al., 1990; Morris et al., 2002; Selje et al., 2004).”
