The Roseobacter lineage is a phylogenetically coherent, physiologically heterogeneous
group of α-Proteobacteria comprising up to 25% of marine microbial communities, especially …

Recognition of the environmental role of photoheterotrophic bacteria has been one of the
main themes of aquatic microbiology over the last 15 years. Aside from cyanobacteria and …

The class Alphaproteobacteria is comprised of a diverse assemblage of Gram-negative
bacteria that includes organisms of varying morphologies, physiologies and habitat …

The family Rhodobacteraceae consists of alphaproteobacteria that are metabolically,
phenotypically, and ecologically diverse. It includes the roseobacter clade, an informal …

We examined bacterial dynamics in batch cultures of two axenic marine diatoms
(Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonema costatum). The axenic diatoms were inoculated with …

Members of a group of marine bacteria that is numerically important in coastal seawater and

Three Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacteria that were capable of degrading
dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) were isolated from marine waters. These isolates (DSS …

We tested new strategies for the isolation of abundant bacteria from coastal North Sea
surface waters, which included reducing by several orders of magnitude the concentrations …

A heterotrophic, antibiotic-producing bacterium, strain T5T, was isolated from the German
Wadden Sea, located in the southern region of the North Sea. Sequence analysis of the 16S …
