Journal ArticleDOI
The genome of a motile marine Synechococcus
Brian Palenik,B. Brahamsha,Frank W. Larimer,Frank W. Larimer,Miriam Land,Miriam Land,Loren Hauser,Loren Hauser,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Jane Lamerdin,Jane Lamerdin,Warren Regala,Warren Regala,Eric E. Allen,Eric E. Allen,Jay McCarren,Ian T. Paulsen,Alexis Dufresne,Frédéric Partensky,Eric A. Webb,John B. Waterbury +21 more
TL;DR: The genome of WH8102 seems to have been greatly influenced by horizontal gene transfer, partially through phages, and is more of a generalist than two related marine cyanobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prokaryotic Cells in the Hydrothermal Vent Tube Worm Riftia pachyptila Jones: Possible Chemoautotrophic Symbionts.
Colleen M. Cavanaugh,Stephen L. Gardiner,Meredith L. Jones,Holger W. Jannasch,John B. Waterbury +4 more
TL;DR: The existence of a symbiotic association between vestimentiferan tube worms from deep-sea hydrothermal vents and chemoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes, based on histological and enzymatic evidence, is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolution of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus Ecotypes by Using 16S-23S Ribosomal DNA Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequences
TL;DR: The results provide further evidence that natural populations of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus consist of multiple coexisting ecotypes, genetically closely related but physiologically distinct, which may vary in relative abundance with changing environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphonate utilization by the globally important marine diazotroph Trichodesmium.
Sonya T. Dyhrman,P. D. Chappell,Sheean T. Haley,James W. Moffett,Elizabeth D. Orchard,John B. Waterbury,Eric A. Webb +6 more
TL;DR: The induction, by phosphorus stress, of genes from the Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101 genome that are predicted to encode proteins associated with the high-affinity transport and hydrolysis of phosphonate compounds by a carbon–phosphorus lyase pathway are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanophages infecting the oceanic cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus
TL;DR: The isolation of cyanophages that infect Prochlorococcus is reported, and it is hypothesized that gradients in cyanobacterial population diversity, growth rates, and/or the incidence of lysogeny underlie these trends.
