Cooperation exists across all scales of biological organization, from genetic elements to
complex human societies. Bacteria cooperate by secreting molecules that benefit all …

Strong purifying selection is considered a major evolutionary force behind small microbial
genomes in the resource-poor photic ocean. However, very little is currently known about …

Bathyarchaeia, as one of the most abundant microorganisms on Earth, play vital roles in the
global carbon cycle. However, our understanding of their origin, evolution, and ecological …

Genome-reduced bacteria constitute most of the cells in surface-ocean bacterioplankton
communities. Their extremely large census population sizes (N c) have been unfoundedly …

The Roseobacter clade bacteria are of great significance in marine ecology and
biogeochemical cycles, and they are potential microbial chassis for marine synthetic biology …

Alga–bacterium interaction can improve wastewater treatment efficiency. To unravel the
mystery of the interaction between microalgae and bacteria in wastewater, mono-cultures …

Identifying mechanisms by which bacterial species evolve and maintain genomic diversity is
particularly challenging for the uncultured lineages that dominate the surface ocean. A …

Bacteriophages play an essential role in shaping the diversity and metabolism of bacterial
communities. Marine Roseobacter group is an abundant heterotrophic bacterial group that is …

The marine bacterium Dinoroseobacter shibae shows a Jekyll-and-Hyde behavior in co-
culture with the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum: In the initial symbiotic phase it …

The ubiquitous and abundant marine phages play critical roles in shaping the composition
and function of bacterial communities, impacting biogeochemical cycling in marine …
