Publications
The uncultured microbial majorityMichael S Rappé
Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
Annu Rev Microbiol 57:369-94. 2003..Genome sequence information that would allow ribosomal RNA gene trees to be related to broader patterns in microbial genome evolution is scant, and therefore microbial diversity remains largely unexplored territory...
Cultivation of the ubiquitous SAR11 marine bacterioplankton cladeMichael S Rappé
Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
Nature 418:630-3. 2002..Eleven of these cultures have been successfully passaged and cryopreserved for future study. The volume of these cells, about 0.01 micro m(3), places them among the smallest free-living cells in culture...
High intraspecific recombination rate in a native population of Candidatus pelagibacter ubique (SAR11)Kevin L Vergin
Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Environ Microbiol 9:2430-40. 2007..The eukaryotic model of species sharing a common pool of alleles is more apt for this SAR11 population than a strictly clonal model of inheritance in which allelic diversity is controlled by periodic selection...
The small genome of an abundant coastal ocean methylotrophStephen J Giovannoni
Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA
Environ Microbiol 10:1771-82. 2008..The discovery that HTCC2181 is an extremely simple specialist in C1 metabolism suggests an unanticipated, important role for oxidized C1 compounds as substrates for bacterioplankton productivity in coastal ecosystems...
Genome streamlining in a cosmopolitan oceanic bacteriumStephen J Giovannoni
Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Science 309:1242-5. 2005..P. ubique has no pseudogenes, introns, transposons, extrachromosomal elements, or inteins; few paralogs; and the shortest intergenic spacers yet observed for any cell...
Phylogenomic evidence for a common ancestor of mitochondria and the SAR11 cladeJ Cameron Thrash
Departments of Microbiology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Sci Rep 1:13. 2011....
