Journal ArticleDOI

Frank W. Larimer,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Loren Hauser,Loren Hauser,Jane Lamerdin,Stephanie Malfatti,Stephanie Malfatti,Long Do,Miriam Land,Miriam Land,Dale A. Pelletier,Dale A. Pelletier,Thomas Beatty,Andrew S. Lang,F. Robert Tabita,Janet L. Gibson,Thomas E. Hanson,Cedric E. Bobst,Janelle L. Torres Y. Torres,Caroline M. Peres,Faith H. Harrison,Jane Gibson,Caroline S. Harwood +23 more
TL;DR: The genome sequence of R. palustris is described, which reveals genes that confer a remarkably large number of options within a given type of metabolism, including three nitrogenases, five benzene ring cleavage pathways and four light harvesting 2 systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of aerobic photoheterotrophic bacteria to the carbon cycle in the ocean.
Zbigniew Kolber,F. Gerald,Plumley,Andrew S. Lang,J. Thomas Beatty,Robert E. Blankenship,Cindy L. VanDover,Costantino Vetriani,Michal Koblizek,Christopher Rathgeber,Paul G. Falkowski +10 more
TL;DR: The vertical distribution of bacteriochlorophylla, the numbers of infrared fluorescent cells, and the variable fluorescence signal at 880 nanometers wavelength, all indicate that photosynthetically competent anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria are abundant in the upper open ocean and comprise at least 11% of the total microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene transfer agents: phage-like elements of genetic exchange
TL;DR: The defining characteristics of the GTAs that have been identified to date are discussed, along with potential functions for these agents and the possible evolutionary forces that act on the genes involved in their production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic Analysis of Coastal RNA Virus Communities
TL;DR: This article used reverse-transcribed whole-genome shotgun sequencing to characterize the diversity of uncultivated marine RNA virus assemblages and found that the oceans are a reservoir of previously unknown RNA viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
An obligately photosynthetic bacterial anaerobe from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent
J. Thomas Beatty,Jörg Overmann,Michael T. Lince,Ann K. Manske,Andrew S. Lang,Robert E. Blankenship,Cindy Lee Van Dover,Tracey A. Martinson,F. Gerald Plumley +8 more
TL;DR: This work describes the isolation and cultivation of a previously unknown green sulfur bacterial species from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, where the only source of light is geothermal radiation that includes wavelengths absorbed by photosynthetic pigments of this organism.
