| roseobacter-like bacteria in red and mediterranean sea aerobic anoxygenic photosynthetic populations. | bacteriochlorophyll a-containing aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs (aanp) have been proposed to account for up to 11% of the total surface water microbial community and to potentially have great ecological importance in the world's oceans. recently, environmental and genomic data based on analysis of the pufm gene identified the existence of alpha-proteobacteria as well as possible gamma-like proteobacteria among aanp in the pacific ocean. here we report on analyses of environmental samples from th ... | 2005 | 15640208 |
