Isolates as models to study bacterial ecophysiology and biogeochemistry

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Marine microbiology has undergone major advances during the past 4 decades due to progress in techniques to observe and culture bacteria and further through the application of molecular methods (Temperton & Giovannoni 2012).However, fundamental questions on in situ growth physiology and viability remain unresolved in part because of a lack of consensus towards a conceptual framework on bacterial life strategies and in part because of a lack of suitable model organisms to study environmental bacterial physiology. Ocean surface water as a substrate for bacteriaIn retrospect, it is remarkable that until the end of the 1970s, it was thought that bacteria in the ocean could not grow in unenriched seawater (Jannasch 1979).This view was challenged through direct
