Genome sequence of Silicibacter pomeroyi reveals adaptations to the marine environment (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This study reveals the genome sequence of Silicibacter pomeroyi, a significant marine bacterium within the Roseobacter clade, essential for coastal and oceanic biogeochemical processes. The genome analysis indicates a lithoheterotrophic lifestyle that aids in nutrient acquisition in low-nutrient marine environments. Key findings include the identification of genes involved in utilizing inorganic compounds and a blend of metabolic pathways that support growth and survival in the ocean's challenging conditions.
