General studies on benthic microbial communities focus on fundamental biogeochemical
processes or the most abundant constituents. Thereby, minor fractions such as the …

Abstract Marine Rhodobacteraceae (Alphaproteobacteria) are key players of
biogeochemical cycling, comprise up to 30% of bacterial communities in pelagic …

The genus Rhodobacter is taxonomically well studied, and some members are model
organisms. However, this genus is comprised of a heterogeneous group of members. 16S …

Coral mucus, tissue, and skeleton harbor compositionally different microbiota, but how these
coral compartments shape the microbial evolution remains unexplored. Here, we sampled …

Early stages of surface colonization in coastal marine waters appear to be dominated by the
marine Rhodobacter group of the α subdivision of the division Proteobacteria (α …

Bacterial surface colonization is a universal adaptation strategy in aquatic environments.
However, neither the identities of early colonizers nor the temporal changes in surface …

This review describes some of the recent highlights taken from the studies of Rhodobacter
sphaeroides 2.4. 1. The review is not intended to be comprehensive, but to reflect the bias of …

Macroalgae harbour specific microbial communities on their surface that have functions
related to host health and defence. In this study, the bacterial biofilm of the marine brown …

The identification and functional characterization of microbial communities remains a
prevailing topic in microbial oceanography as information on environmentally relevant …

Phylogenetic relationships among species of the genus Rhodobacter and related taxa were
elucidated by studying 16S rRNA sequence information and genomic DNA homology data …
