Streamlining and Core Genome Conservation among Highly Divergent Members of the SAR11 Clade
SAR11 is an ancient and diverse clade of heterotrophic bacteria that are abundant throughout the world's oceans, where they play a major role in the ocean carbon cycle. Correlations between the phylogenetic branching order and spatiotemporal patterns in cell distributions from planktonic ocean environments indicate that SAR11 has evolved into perhaps a dozen or more specialized ecotypes that sp...
متن کاملA new method for studying the evolutionary origin of the SAR11 clade marine bacteria.
The free-living SAR11 clade is a globally abundant group of oceanic Alphaproteobacteria, with small genome sizes and rich genomic A+T content. However, the taxonomy of SAR11 has become controversial recently. Some researchers argue that the position of SAR11 is a sister group to Rickettsiales. Other researchers advocate that SAR11 is located within free-living lineages of Alphaproteobacteria. H...
متن کاملIndependent genome reduction and phylogenetic reclassification of the oceanic SAR11 clade.
The SAR11 clade, here represented by Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique, is the most successful group of bacteria in the upper surface waters of the oceans. In contrast to previous studies that have associated the 1.3 Mb genome of Ca. Pelagibacter ubique with the less than 1.5 Mb genomes of the Rickettsiales, our phylogenetic analysis suggests that Ca. Pelagibacter ubique is most closely related to...
متن کاملPhylogenomic evidence for a common ancestor of mitochondria and the SAR11 clade
Mitochondria share a common ancestor with the Alphaproteobacteria, but determining their precise origins is challenging due to inherent difficulties in phylogenetically reconstructing ancient evolutionary events. Nonetheless, phylogenetic accuracy improves with more refined tools and expanded taxon sampling. We investigated mitochondrial origins with the benefit of new, deeply branching genome ...
متن کاملA Phylometagenomic Exploration of Oceanic Alphaproteobacteria Reveals Mitochondrial Relatives Unrelated to the SAR11 Clade
BACKGROUND According to the endosymbiont hypothesis, the mitochondrial system for aerobic respiration was derived from an ancestral Alphaproteobacterium. Phylogenetic studies indicate that the mitochondrial ancestor is most closely related to the Rickettsiales. Recently, it was suggested that Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique, a member of the SAR11 clade that is highly abundant in the oceans, is a...
