Ecological Genomics of Marine Picocyanobacteria
David J. Scanlan,Martin Ostrowski,Sophie Mazard,Alexis Dufresne,Alexis Dufresne,Alexis Dufresne,Laurence Garczarek,Laurence Garczarek,Wolfgang R. Hess,Anton F. Post,Martin Hagemann,Ian T. Paulsen,Frédéric Partensky,Frédéric Partensky +13 more
TL;DR: This review puts the current knowledge of marine picocyanobacterial genomics into an environmental context and presents previously unpublished genomic information arising from extensive genomic comparisons in order to provide insights into the adaptations of these marine microbes to their environment and how they are reflected at the genomic level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequence of the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus marinus SS120, a nearly minimal oxyphototrophic genome
Alexis Dufresne,Marcel Salanoubat,Frédéric Partensky,François Artiguenave,Ilka M. Axmann,Valérie Barbe,Simone Duprat,Michael Y. Galperin,Eugene V. Koonin,Florence Le Gall,Kira S. Makarova,Martin Ostrowski,Sophie Oztas,Catherine Robert,Igor B. Rogozin,David J. Scanlan,Nicole Tandeau de Marsac,Jean Weissenbach,Patrick Wincker,Yuri I. Wolf,Wolfgang R. Hess +20 more
TL;DR: The genome of P. marinus SS120 is one of the two smallest genomes of a photosynthetic organism known to date and lacks many genes that are involved in photosynthesis, DNA repair, solute uptake, intermediary metabolism, motility, phototaxis, and other functions that are conserved among other cyanobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global phylogeography of marine Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus reveals a distinct partitioning of lineages among oceanic biomes.
Katrin Zwirglmaier,Ludwig Jardillier,Martin Ostrowski,Sophie Mazard,Laurence Garczarek,Daniel Vaulot,Fabrice Not,Fabrice Not,Ramon Massana,Osvaldo Ulloa,David J. Scanlan +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the distribution patterns of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus lineages are remarkably similar in different ocean systems with comparable environmental conditions, but producing a strikingly different 'signature' in the four major ocean domains or biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling the genomic mosaic of a ubiquitous genus of marine cyanobacteria.
Alexis Dufresne,Alexis Dufresne,Martin Ostrowski,David J. Scanlan,Laurence Garczarek,Sophie Mazard,Brian Palenik,Ian T. Paulsen,Nicole Tandeau de Marsac,Patrick Wincker,Carole Dossat,Steve Ferriera,Justin Johnson,Anton F. Post,Wolfgang R. Hess,Frédéric Partensky +15 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that while members of a given marine Synechococcus lineage may have the same broad geographical distribution, local niche occupancy is facilitated by lateral gene transfers, a process in which genomic islands play a key role as a repository for transferred genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and evolution of phycobilisomes in marine Synechococcus spp.: a comparative genomics study
Christophe Six,Christophe Six,Jean-Claude Thomas,Laurence Garczarek,Martin Ostrowski,Alexis Dufresne,Nicolas Blot,David J. Scanlan,Frédéric Partensky +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the phycobilisome core has likely evolved together with the core genome, while rods must have evolved independently, possibly by lateral transfer ofphyc mobilisome rod genes or gene clusters between Synechococcus strains, either via viruses or by natural transformation, allowing rapid adaptation to a variety of light niches.
