This paper demonstrates that SAR11 subclade V is synonymous with the AEGEAN-169 clade and shows they have distinct metabolic capabilities compared to SAR11.

The paper investigates the physiology, metabolism, and distribution of the OM252 clade of Gammaproteobacteria using genomic and phenotypic data, revealing their potential for both heterotrophic and lithoautotrophic growth.

The paper describes a microbiology CURE program that uses a modified culturing protocol to isolate aquatic bacterioplankton, achieving similar success to standard lab settings.

The paper isolates and genomes the first freshwater SAR11 (LD12) bacterium, revealing metabolic features and evolutionary adaptations to freshwater environments.

This study examines microbial community patterns along the Mississippi River, finding distinct microbial trends and associations with nutrient levels at different river orders.

This study identifies metabolic roles of uncultivated bacterioplankton in the Gulf of Mexico dead zone using metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis.
