An elusive marine photosynthetic bacterium is finally unveiled.
I n the early 2000s, the realization that a significant fraction of the so-called heterotrophic marine bacterioplankton is capable of phototrophy has challenged our views of the carbon and energy budgets in the oceans (1) and, consequently, the biosphere. Because of their widespread occurrence and high abundance, bacterioplankton represent large pools of major elements and are catalysts in many...
متن کاملTranscriptional Changes Underlying Elemental Stoichiometry Shifts in a Marine Heterotrophic Bacterium
Marine bacteria drive the biogeochemical processing of oceanic dissolved organic carbon (DOC), a 750-Tg C reservoir that is a critical component of the global C cycle. Catabolism of DOC is thought to be regulated by the biomass composition of heterotrophic bacteria, as cells maintain a C:N:P ratio of ∼50:10:1 during DOC processing. Yet a complicating factor in stoichiometry-based analyses is th...
متن کاملAir exposure of coral is a significant source of dimethylsulfide (DMS) to the atmosphere
Corals are prolific producers of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). High atmospheric concentrations of the DMSP breakdown product dimethylsulfide (DMS) have been linked to coral reefs during low tides. DMS is a potentially key sulfur source to the tropical atmosphere, but DMS emission from corals during tidal exposure is not well quantified. Here we show that gas phase DMS concentrations (DMSga...
متن کاملNucleic acids from the host bacterium as a major source of nucleotides for three marine bacteriophages
The incorporation of 32~-phosphorus into marine bacteriophage nucleic acid was studied in culture experiments to investigate the source of nucleotides used by the phage. We consistently found that the '2~-specific activity in the phage genome increased during the 11 h incubation and was low relative to the specific activity in the medium, averaging 21% ( + S D 5.9) for the three phage isolates....
متن کاملA Simple Scheme for the Identification of Marine Heterotrophic Bacteria
A scheme has been proposed to identify the marine heterotrophic bacterial genera based on the minimum biochemical tests. Fifteen gram negative and six gram positive marine bacterial genera could be identified with this proposed scheme which involves staining, morphology, motility and some major biochemical tests INTRODUCTION A number of reports are available on key characters for the identifica...
