Abstract

Here we describe five Shewanella baltica genomes recovered from the same sample, as well as 12 years apart from the same sampling station. These genomes expand the collection of previously sequenced S. baltica strains and represent a valuable resource for assessing the role of environmental settings on genome adaptation.

Solar salterns as model systems to study the units of bacterial diversity that matter for ecosystem functioning

Konstantinos T. Konstantinidis, Tomeu Viver, Roth E. Conrad, Stephanus N. Venter, Ramon Rossello-Mora

Summary: Microbial communities in manmade salterns provide an ideal system to study microbial diversity due to their reduced diversity. Recent studies have shown that the dominant bacterial and archaeal taxa in these salterns form persistent populations with sequence-discrete characteristics. Although these populations exhibit extensive gene diversity, only a small number of genes appear to be functionally important during environmental perturbations.
