Abstract:SAR86 is one of the most abundant groups of bacteria in the global surface ocean. However, since its discovery over 30 years ago, it has remained recalcitrant to isolation and many details regarding this group are still unknown. Here we report the cellular characteristics from the first SAR86 isolate brought into culture, Candidatus Magnimaribacter mokuoloeensis strain HIMB1674, and use its closed genome in concert with over 700 environmental genomes to assess the phylogenomic and functional characteristics of… Show more
