▪ Abstract Since the delineation of 12 bacterial phyla by comparative phylogenetic analyses
of 16S ribosomal RNA in 1987 knowledge of microbial diversity has expanded dramatically …

Culture-dependent and-independent studies have found that prokaryotic assemblages are
quite diverse in aquatic habitats and contain representatives of virtually all of the roughly 40 …

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

We introduce here a new method for computing differences between microbial communities
based on phylogenetic information. This method, UniFrac, measures the phylogenetic …

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse of all marine ecosystems; however, very little is known
about prokaryotic diversity in these systems. To address this issue, we sequenced over 1000 …

The world's oceans contain a complex mixture of micro-organisms that are for the most part,
uncharacterized both genetically and biochemically. We report here a metagenomic study of …

Vibrios are ubiquitous and abundant in the aquatic environment. A high abundance of
vibrios is also detected in tissues and/or organs of various marine algae and animals, eg …

There are an estimated 10 31 viruses on Earth, most of which are phages that infect
bacteria. Metagenomic analyses have shown that environmental viral communities are …
